TJ is playing a character and people are getting butthurt over it. The man created a character out of the Alpha Male drama and named himself the Viper because of Conor McGregor.

TJ is the best and this is the only 125 lbs fight that will get any sort of attention.

TJ is a hell of a fighter. He would have beat MM for sure, MM was smart to duck him.

Absolutely. And he will fight moraes after cejudo. He’s got a title fight in the meantime unlike Cruz, who actually ducked moraes

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

A true renaissance man


TJ is going to miss weight by a pound, nearly kill himself trying, permanently damage his health, get pulled from the fight, come back as a shadow of his former self at 135, lose that title, start missing weight there, and then in four years get knocked out by a late-notice former gay porn performer Renan Barao in the co-main event of the third ever commissioned-sanctioned Lethwei card in Idaho.

I salute him. :patriot:

It would blow if TJ lost to Cejudo on account of weight cut/boner issues, but I expect him to defeat the child without mercy and then we can see TJ/Moraes.

If he loses from cutting issues it’s his own fault for demanding the 125 fight but I don’t think it’ll happen. The moraes fight is gonna own heavily if they can find anyone to fight him in the meantime

So he should have fought TJ, lost, and had the division die anyway? :thunk:

Big fish in small ponds are getting fuckin paid these days. See: Bellator. I wouldn't be surprised if he's getting paid at least as much as he was in the UFC.

Hating on the guy for getting paid for low risk is a weird flex, but aight.

But everything aside, I would have liked to see that fight.

I wish mighty mouse fought some of the people it felt like he 'should' have fought but whatever if he wants to fight somewhere else or stream on twitch to whoever watches him that's him, thats ok.

But I am a fan of the sport of fighting, though, and ultimately I want to selfishly watch these pro atheletes fight the fights I wish to see. Fighters can, should and do act in self-interest, and mighty mouse did. Honestly I wasn't a huge MM fan but I did always watch his fights bc he was clearly one of the best. But I will probably not watch him fight whoever there is for him outside the ufc unless it's bob sapp or something. I wanted to see him take risks, fight ppl he didn't want to, that sort of thing. He didn't want to, didn't have to, and that's that I guess
