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.
