Looking at the preliminary stats for DJ/Cejudo and my mind just reels at this decision further. https://imgur.com/a/21TCPgt

Two passes into half guard is the X factor

Cody should switch to bangs camp lol. He could go with guys like Loma and takeru and tighten up. Tj has a better chin than him tho

Can’t believe TJ was saved by the bell in the first round twice, Cody almost had him.

Was at the event and there was a lighting rig obscuring my view of the screen, but I had it 3-2 for DJ. That said DJ seemed really hesitant to go for punches to the head and seemed to mostly bang kicks in from a distance so I figured it could go either way with the judges. Still a really fun fight. Some of those scrambles were sick.

The TJ Cody fight was great as well but I can’t
believe Cody did the exact same thing that got him KO’d by planting and swinging hooks like a crazy person.

TJ owns.

I showed my brother a video of Takeru and said “TJ is sparring with this guy while Cody gets trained and cornered by Danny Castillo and his uncle.”

Lots of people saying this was the best flyweight title fight. Are they right? It’s the best I’ve seen but I wasn’t a MMA fan when they started the division

Highest level, but I don’t think the best fight.

This was a tremendous OP but I feel you missed out on the Tom of Finland joke here.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: sometimes passing just isn't an option.
I thought Mighty Mouse won, and I can’t see Cejudo winning any of rounds 1, 3, or 5.

Also lol the TJ/Cody rematch happened exactly the same way as the first fight, just faster. TJ opens with a lot of movement and gets clipped, then he just stops moving and stands right in the pocket with Cody and murders him.
