Cejudo says that he weighed 146lbs in the cage...umm... sounds like TJ should've just tried to cut tonnes of water weight instead of depleting himself for 12 weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if Cejudo is bigger than TJ if he fights him at 135.

How many fights have we seen where a guy gets wobbled and then comes back to win? its BS man this was a world title fight and ref stole it.

How much did you lose?

Good thing I didn't stay up to watch this. Couldn't have gone any faster.

I agree the stoppage was a little early, i'd like to see a rematch.

Talks about cowboy-mcgregor now, cowboy really deserves the payday and just retire after it. Im not so sure cowboy can win in, mcgregor may be a little to fast for him. But hey, anythings possible. I def want to see that fight.

Cowboy/Conor is a great fight to make. Not for any reason other than the build up. Conor has nothing for Khabib and has already transcended needing a belt anyway. Might as well give him relatively safe fights that match his style and let him and the UFC cash in.

Conor/Cowboy headlines it's own PPV and doesn't require burning a title fight. That's got to be enticing for Dana.

After watching the replays from different angles again, the stoppage looks fine. There were three or four big shots that clearly hurt TJ, with several lesser ones in between. The final big one was a left that had TJ's head rocking all over the place. TJ was doing basically nothing to defend himself or fight back.

Regarding Conor/Cowboy, Cowboy is a great matchup stylistically for Conor. I still favor Cowboy though.

Cejudo had cut weight in a smarter manner & i honestly think he's bigger than TJ if he moves up in weight.

TJ said he felt better at 125lbs than he's felt at 135. I do agree that Cejudo is a bigger fighter though.

Watched 3 of the fights. Great job by cowboy. Hernandez came out strong then seemed to wilt a bit when cerrone didn't go away. Always thought cerrone McGregor would be a good fight. If cowboy's smart he'll take it to the ground where he'd be dominant but he'll probably stand with him and get knocked out.

JoJo looked super strong, good clinch and ground game and decent stand up. Lipski was bad. Interesting that two judges scored the first round 10-8. I thought it should be 10-8 but judges don't usually give them just for dominant ground work with no super close submission attempts.

That stoppage was early.

TJ cut 19% body weight to make that, just insanity. Hard to imagine it doesn't impair your ability to take a shot considering it seemed like TJ got hit harder by Cody than by Cejudo and recovered against Cody.

I'll say it again, someone in the UFC is going to have to die before they do something about weight cutting. So dumb.

TJ is one of my favorite fighters but it's hilarious that he cut 50% of body weight just to get Michael-Jackson-Thriller-Bobbleheaded in 30 seconds

That's a nice gif. Cejudo did some work right there.

Hopefully their next fight will be at 135lbs and then Cejudo can send Dillashaw on a permanent trip back down to 125 where TJ can fight Benavidez for the title after Cejudo relinquishes it.

The stoppage was def early. Ref could barely keep TJ down when ending the fight.

That's him being delusional. Go watch his open workout from Wednesday, he was slow as hell & looked dry & way too skinny to compete.

Ahahahahahah Dana is so worthless. Poor guy really wanted say that TJ unifed the Flyweight and Bantamweight Titles and thus FW can get shut down or whatever nonsense he was planning and Henry took a **** in his mouth. Poor goof.

I'm happy to see the Flyweight division still around, mostly because it pisses off Dana White.

VADA tests find same long term metabolites in Jones' post fight tests

Not a huge shock because of #Pulse4lyfe, but it is kind of odd that USADA's post fight test came back clean...
