Dana White is whining about the stoppage. I feel like TJ would have been seriously injured if the ref let that keep going. Either way, dude is just upset Cejudo threw a wrench into Dana's plans to kill 125.
By trying to kill the flyweight division they ankled one of their stars and actually made the bantams look bad. Henry shouldn't be offering to fight TJ at 135 he should be acting like the best fighters are in his division
Other than the inclusion of Screaming A, did you guys notice any broadcast differences between Fox and ESPN?
The annoying dude they kept cutting to mid round as well. DFW is retarded. He should be crying about illegal knee Greg Hardy and how he was seriously exposed by a low level fighter. Imagine Hardy in there against someone who can avoid his 1 minute power outburst and take him down. Hardy might die in there.
TJ going to look bad real quick if a rematch were to take place at 135. Don't see how Cejudo going to lose in a rematch. Cejudo's got a chin, improved his striking, and is an Olympic wrestler. I didn't find the broadcast any better, if anything it got worse. Parillo? was offering commentary and analysis on what the coaches said to their fighters inbetween rounds; potential conflict of interest?
Dillashaw is still whining about this fight. Calling Cejdudo's win a fluke and complaining about the stoppage. Dude is about to enter Johnny Hendricks after the GSP fight territory. Lets see if TJ is unable to get over the loss and his career goes down hill the same way.
