If you were pursuing a fight career, what would you do?

Man, this Hernandez guy facing Cerrone is such a douchebag.

Cerrone is way over the hill, he looked off-balance against Perry, this is totally a doable win for the prick too.

Speaking of douchebags...Duane Bang needs to take a step back and stop calling out guys like Max Holloway on TJ's behalf. For my money, TJ is one of the most skilled fighters in the sport, but now that he's going to 125 he's got that "looks muscular but also looks like he could be in my son's daycare class" thing going on. Max is a whole other problem for him entirely.

Besides, it's not possible to have a stronger and more legitimate number one contender than the winner of Marlon Moraes and Raphael Assuncao in that division.

If TJ beats Henry, it's definitley a fight that TJ will want, and is a fight that will sell well, but should be at least two fights away.
TJ should get back to a healthy 135, take a fight there, then spend some time working his way up a reasonable size for 145. In the mean time Max can take the winner of Moraes or Assuncao.

TJ got up to 149 lbs the night of his last fight. Max is rumored to walk around in the 180s lol.

Haha ya Max is a huge 145er. The physical difference between the two would be funny to see.

Anyone catch Schaub on Joe Rogan today. Man it is rough listening to Joe defend Jon Jones.

Edson Barboza vs. Justin Gaethje March 30th.

Jesus Christ. They are not concerned with promoting JG's longevity. This is a little too much. Considering they're both crushing body strikers, why not just make this a below the neck contest? It would still be nasty, between leg kicks, spinning s**t, and body punches.

I will give the UFC some credit, they are making some good fights to start this year. Till vs Masvidal in London should be a really good one as well. The first real war Im looking forward to see is Zabit vs Stephens.

I still want to see Zabit-Yair

Barboza isn't exactly young in MMA years either dude. He's taken beatdowns by Khabib and Kevin Lee and been in wars with Tony and Felder. He hasn't been KOed a ton because he's tough as nails but I can remember him being dropped by Castillo and Cowboy and KOed by Varner too.

Just saw the presser after the staredowns. Cerrone looks like a scarecrow, wow, IDK about this cut for him.

TJ looks like a third grader.

God damn you weren't kidding. Cowboy looks like he's knocking on death's door. Haha and ya TJ looks like a little kid that stole his dad's jacket.

Lol at TJ looking like a 3rd Grader with his dads coat on

Cowboy was on deaths door there. He was dressed like the friggin undertaker to boot.

This is the most interested I’ve been in a 125 fight...ever.
DJ seriously screwed up by turning down TJ.it would have been the biggest fight of his career.

Also, I’m kind of interested in the douche fighting Cowboy. Never heard of him but he talked a big game and he’s young, and the ufc needs fresh blood

cowboyronnie · Post #480 » by **cowboyronnie** » Fri Jan 18, 2019 11:52 pm

Cejudo looks improved, physically and technically . I think TJ and DC are the best fighters in the world (a world with no JJ) but damnit Henry could shock.
