I guess we'll find out soon.

Definitely could go either way. I have Cody in a parlay with Marlon Vera and DJ. At +125 I'm wondering if I should put a little more on him.
Just put money on him straight up. Parlays are fun but someone always burns ya

Pretty close fight imo, chose TJ in the end because of his kicks. Seems like TJ has more tools to work with.
I do think that TJ is more versatile. He also moves a bit like Cruz though and Cody handled Cruz's movement pretty well in their fight.

Of course they have fought before and TJ won but it was one of those fights where one guy was winning until he wasn't.

I'm looking at how Cody won the first round in their fight, and also thinking about how TJ lost a split to Cruz but Cody dominated the Dominator.

No doubt these guys are pretty evenly matched, but I'm wondering if Cody just got caught the first time around.
that math just won't work for you over the long haul. TJ & Cruz are similar, but very far from the same. I think it might tonight, but I wouldn't count on mma math in the future

Cody got dropped twice, once from a left high kick & then from a shot where he remained in the pocket to long & got stopped. I lean Cody in the fight, if you are convinced he wins then go ahead & bet something you wouldn't care to lose, but I wouldn't count on either guy winning. It's possible Cody's back injury & anger were his ruin, it's possible that he sought the ko in round 2 in the first fight & walked into it, it's also possible that Dillashaw is the the better well rounded fighter that'll win most times they fight.

I hope Cody wins because selfishly, I want to see a trilogy.

How u liking the forums so far MachidaKarate @MachidaKarate?

Everyone is pretty welcoming yeah? A bit different than most other MMA forums hey?
Yeah, it's cool! Seems like a really good crowd.

It kind of reminds me of this place I used to post at but that died out about 5 years ago. I miss that place so it's cool to find somewhere else with a similar vibe.
