TJ Dillashaw is going to run out of opponents quicker than Mighty Mouse. Especially if they never get Faber to fight him.

My advice for Barao would be don't engage first, wait for him to engage and hit him on the counter. He only hits you after he makes you miss by feinting. Don't bite on feints. Don't try to dodge with head movement it just gives him a target when you do. When he engages block with hands high, he's only hitting you in the head and counter with leg kicks, elbows and body shots. With the benefit of hindsight of course but ultimately TJ was stronger and faster and even the best advice wouldn't have achieved much.

Almeida is cool but has looked extremely hittable in the few fights I've seen. I think TJ would tee off on him. Really I just hope Cruz can get healthy.

Sterling and Almeida are decent upcomers but it really is just Cruz and possibly Assuncao who could maybe challenge TJ. He's really going to need Faber to agree to the fight, Frankie to drop down, or Mighty Mouse to move up if he wants to sell anybody on a match in a year. I like Francisco Rivera after his last couple of fights but he's not much better than "Chris Cariaso in the main event?" level.

Speaking of 135 what happened to Michael McDonald? Is he still injured? Did he go away to Jesus camp? Did he lose his virginity and give up fighting?

He realized he was only in middle school and if he could take time away from fighting to just train and pray he could become the true Warrior God intended instead of lose to Barao and Faber real bad, iirc

Except Sean McCorkle, in all fairness. That was a bad loss for anyone in the top echelons of a UFC division to have, but also the catalyst for him to right his ship so it's good it happened.

fatherdog posted:Did they say that as a fact or were they speculating, because I find it curious that nowhere else have I seen this even mentioned before now Yeah I was about to say, I've never heard this before. On the other hand, Jeff Sherwood has a personal relationship with Faber/Alpha Male so he might've had an inside track there. Bubba Smith posted:I don't think that's crazy at all to say. TJ kept a slower pace than the first fight, didn't cut as many angles, was slightly too confident, got tagged more, and STILL finished Barao quicker. Yeah throughout the first 2 rounds I was like "loving poo poo man stop standing in front of him" but by like minute 6 of the fight Barao was already sucking wind and TJ was slipping pretty much everything in the pocket except for that nice combo Barao landed at the end of the 1st.

He's only beaten one of the other top five guys, but of the remaining four one won't fight him and one is slowly turning into dust from the knees down. Of the other two, one hasn't fought in a year and the other hasn't fought in two years, and outside of the top 5 bantamweight drops off fast.

When he engages block with hands high, he's only hitting you in the head and counter with leg kicks, elbows and body shots. I dunno.. Baraos whole style is already waiting for the other guy to throw a punch and then planting his feet and opening up with huge counters. Its hard to just say "dont bite on feints" because to be a good counter puncher you have to be reacting to that stuff, thats why feinting is a good way to beat a one dimensional counter puncher. There were times when Barao didnt bite on feints and then TJ hit him with a bunch of lead flick jabs in the face. And when Barao did counter punch, TJ usually wasnt there because he was making angles every time he exited the gap and Baraos footwork is truly awful for a high level guy I agree he probably shouldve countered with more leg kicks, hes shown great leg kicks against other guys but never put them to good use against TJ, maybe scared of getting countered or taken down but despite everything his takedown defense was always still there I think what was crazy was that he looked like he was fighting in slow motion like 2 minutes into the fight, his days at BW might be over, he might have to fight guys his own size now

Barao should have been throwing way more round kicks, low and high, from both directions. He was actually having a little bit of success in the first round with the ones he fired. Not sure where he'd go from there, but sweeping attacks are a basic counter to big lateral movement. Barao was ridiculously under prepared and his camp probably told him "just go out and be yourself and you'll be a winner!"

I feel like Barao is one of those guys that will fight the same way no matter what happened in training camp or what the gameplan was. His corner was pleading with him after every round of the first fight to go for takedowns and he didn't attempt one. Maybe that was because he was concussed or maybe because he can't adapt at all.

Barao would have an uphill battle against someone who fights like TJ no matter what gameplan he came in with given his skillset, but probably the best possible one would have been to throw a really large volume of jabs and when TJ avoids them with head movement fire off leg and body kicks. Head movement and parrying would usually keep him in one place long enough to get a solid kick off and if he committed to it the damage to the legs and body could sap TJ's ability to move and take angles which is the thing Barao really can't deal with. Of course Barao basically came out doing the opposite of this, which as I said earlier is probably because he and his camp wholesale bought into the Just Got Caught narrative and assumed that as long as he didn't get clocked in the first round again he could just fight like normal and treat TJ like he's treated every other guy, which you would think the Gagnon match would have already demonstrated was Not A Good Idea.

I dunno if anyone else noticed but about midway through the first barao took a hard body shot (i don't remember if it was a kick or knee or what) and seemed to pretty much instantly gas
