I'm still not exactly sure why people are against Mighty Mouse for not taking a fight with his title on the line against a larger opponent that stands to lose nothing and that management clearly wants that opponent to win and reduce his earning potential. That's dumb as gently caress and no one should do that.

Yeah gee who would want to see fights. That's why I'm rooting for al Iaquinta to become a real estate mogul so we never have to see him fight again. I don't even watch fights i just look to see who got the bonuses and yell at dana white on Twitter

He knocked TJ down and landed one clean punch before TJ started defending and began fighting his way back up to his feet. It was close to the bell and Cody hits hard, but it was nowhere near definitive or 'saved by the bell'.

Mekchu posted:

TJ was in trouble but not "seconds from being stopped" because Garbrandt didnt push him and TJ spent the rest of the round blocking/moving way more.

TJ also had better footwork and methods to finish the fight than Cody did. The headkicks by TJ were pretty effective.

The rest of the round was less than ten seconds, and TJ spent the whole time scrambling to his feet without his hands up. The round ended before Cody could follow up. TJ surviving had very little to do with TJ.

At least there's a big event with a good lineup coming this weekend - that will stop the bloodshed for about 24 hours

Garbrandt also looked like he wanted to do what he did to Cruz, just work him over for 5 rounds and make fun of him while breakdancing. I'm guessing him getting sparked out will give him some urgency and will make him go back to the highlight reel KO artist he was on his way to the title.

He was still bobbing his head avoiding punches pretty easily while pushing Cody away on his way back up to his feet from a knelt position.

The only time in that exchange Cody was close to finishing was when TJ was on his side/back after the knockdown and he let TJ work his way to his feet less than 10 seconds later.

I'm watching it right now. One punch misses because TJ bobbed under it and it was literally at the moment of the bell. The rest either connect or miss through dumb luck and TJ visibly struggles to get his feet under him.

Maybe he couldn't have recovered, maybe he could have, but it was loving close and he was really loving lucky the round ended when it did.

The whole sequence is about 4 seconds.

Trapping Cody’s near arm and pounding him unconscious was such a slick move to get the finish. If Cody’d Done something similar, he would have had a way better chance of finishing it in the first.

It’s this. I cannot imagine that it would be possible for Max Holloway, as he currently exists, to have a boring fight. I cannot remember being this stoked about a fighter in a long time.

TJ was staggering away at the end of the round, he was in trouble. The fight wasn't about to be stopped but Cody could easily have done so because that poo poo happens constantly in MMA. Thinking TJ's some untouchable god is a bizarre stance.

Oh, he was saved by the bell. There's a possibilty that he might have recovered but there was a much greater chance that the badly rocked fighter would have been finished by the guy who just rocked him and has bricks for hands. I'm just being polite and acknowledging the possiblity that you're correct.

If he'd had more than three seconds, he might have.

Mekchu posted:

The closest thing he's had to a bad fight is the Jeremy Stephens fight, and that was because Jeremy Stephens hits bullshit hard and makes a lot of guys fight cautiously. His list of wins is full of dudes who thought they could trade with him.
