Cody Garbrandt ain't fighting ne1 this year. His back is jacked up, that division is on hold for rest of year.

TJ is a legit fight for DJ he is a former champ, he snot asking DJ to go up in weight which DJ has done b4, hes already training to come down to 125. This is what a super fight is, this is how you prove lb for lb.

This will be a main event on a ppv for DJ his 1st ppv main event in how long? First big payday in how long? The fact that DJ is bein a Lil bish tryin to run away and refusing to fight TJ jus showin how whack DJ truly is.

I get what you're saying but 135 is probably going on hold anyway. Garbrandt wants to fight DJ too. I dont see Cruz getting that rematch unless he comes back and smokes someone which he seems reluctant to do. His feet have expired, I dont see Cruz getting back in that picture honestly

I think if TJ beat Cody (if Cody hadn't gotten injured), then Cruz probably wouldn't have to do a thing to get his shot since TJ wants revenge and Cruz won their first fight. I still give dude the benefit of a doubt, but he's one loss from me jumping in the same boat as you on him. I do think that the winner of Rivera/Almeida will be right in the mix and I'm a bigger fan of Dodson than most (I had him winning the Lineker fight). Add the winner of Moraes/Assuncao to the group and I think there are a handful of fighters waiting in the wings to jump into the top 5 mix. There's just a lot more clear talent at 135 than 125 where it's DJ, Joe and some developmental prospects; so I hate the idea of either Cody or TJ dropping just for that one superfight. Do it at a catchweight without a title on the line and I'd be more open to the concept. At least that way they can go back to their respective divisions and contenders in waiting won't feel like they lost their place in the line (mainly the 135 tree here).

Bisping gonna run out of injuries for him to use to get out of his fade

But I feel bad for Maia
Maia's fighting Woodley first, GSP has a eye injury.

Dana's just talking shyt, both GSP and Bispring say they haven't been told the fight is off. Dude just throws shyt out there to see how fans responds

I would have believed that before the Conor fight not now. He needed this win to go and declare war and move up in weight to fight Conor, still think he would need to face Tony first tho... now him losing to max and max is gonna move up too he should beat Frankie and move up. Aldo is gonna have 2 guys in 155 that he needs to get through. The thing is if he is so reliant on just our boxing everyone which isn't bad I love an MMA fighter that can box he needs to move a lot more and be lighter on his feet. He was winning the fight on all 3 judges score cards. Idk what happened he took that hit and Max wouldn't let him up
