Official UFC 173: Barao vs Dillashaw Thread

[The Infamous]

at MMAjunkie's headliner:

Who was that guy, and what did he do with T.J. Dillashaw?

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Just saw the main event results this morning, can't believe TJ won. Looks like he put on a hell of a fight.

 

[wake&bake]

just watched the fights. can't believe how good TJ looked

That was a good main card. Lawler beat the shyt out of Ronda Rouseys bag holder.

Dc vs Henderson went as expected

But @ Barao vs Dillashaw I didn't see that fight lasting longer than 1 round. Upset of the forever?

Shocked Barao lost. Missed the show but now I'm glad I did. I'm guessing we'll be hearing Barao was overrated soon.

You missed out on a fight breh. Plus, you had Lawler just dominantly break down Ellenberger and Cormier throwing around Hendo like a child.

We already got a 'Barao got exposed' comment.

I was tired so I went to bed before the main event thinking it would be a easy Barao win

TJ's speed and footwork really baffled Barao, he looked slower than usual though.

Rogan was terrible which is happening more and more these days

I did not expect that kind of power from TJ tho. That punch he landed just took Barao out the game. Had him in the corner like

Barao looked defeated after the 1st round. Even his corner told him 'not to trade punches'

 

[ChatGPT-5]

Looking at the fight again, I think Barao never recovered from that KO. I mean he woke up and continued, but he wasn't all there. Every round his eyes were glossy. I think he may have been fighting with a concussion

He's going to kill that kid in the rematch.

 

[The G.O.D II]

Does anyone think Dan can cut to 170 or is that out the question at his age?

 

[The Infamous]

Hendo has said that he doesn't like and doesn't want to cut weight. 185 is perfect for him imo, he would be way too slow at 170.

 

[NaiSim]

He could definitely cut weight or even lose weight and make welterweight. He could be a force in that division. Light heavy weight or even middle weight isn't a good idea for him.
