“I am leaps and bounds better than Henry Cejudo,” Dillashaw said. “I greatly believe that. But unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to prove it.”
Follow up: “And why do you think you didn’t you get that chance?”
Look, I could tell he was playing his best poker face to the best of his ability from fight week all the way up until the end but that cut just killed him. Cejudo straight pushed him down to set up the entire ending exchange. Looked like a schoolyard move.
Whatever. Just take your loss like a man.
BTW, Cowboy put it on that kid. I don’t know how many more rounds he’s got left underneath that Stetson but I think he had to burn a lot of what was left in the tank to keep up that pace and win last night. I think that would be a wise fight to make his last. If he moves up in competition, I think he’s got a lot of punishment awaiting him.
Except a fight with Conor. That way he’s very well compensated. _________________ We back.

“It was a great stoppage because I felt his body go limp,” Cejudo said at the event’s post-fight press conference (transcript via MMA Fighting). “You guys have to understand I weighed in at 146 pounds when I fought him. Strong, and you could see it. Every blow that he took, he was eating some hammers. Personally, I thought it was a good stoppage because he was going to take another 10, 20 hits.

I'm sure it's possible for Henry to balloon up after hydration and I honestly don't see any reason for him to throw out a specific number arbitrarily. But who knows?
Whatever the case, TJ was obviously depleted and Henry was absolutely jacked and boy, did it show. TJ, so full of himself, got greedy and paid the price. Just rewards and, if I'm Cejudo, I don't give him a rematch unless the price is right. But that's just me. I don't think there's any other matches out there for him so he probably goes for the rematch for TJ's strap.

Is Cowboy/Conor inked?
Not inked yet, but Conor tweeted him saying he earned the fight after his bout
Yeah TJ underestimated how much that weight cut would affect him and just how good cejudo is. Cejudo looked way faster

I just watched some of the replays of Dillashaw's interviews and I must say that I'm still in disbelief over how far outside of the realm of reality TJ remained after the fight. His stubborn pride and refusal to take his L and move on is amazing. Wow.
I'm almost as amazed as MMA World urinating on their own show with voice overs. Unreal.
Conor is the fight to make if your Cowboy. Maybe Conor too. He can sport his wares and regain some momentum and then set up a match with Raging Al. I honestly would advise him to take that route if I had a say. _________________ We back.

It was so bad TJ had to say on Helwani's show that "I never said I wasn't a sore loser."
agreed. It works out well for both parties
Yeah what the hell is going on with MMA World?? At one point they had the MMA Youtube market cornered. Then they ditched the intro (DRM probs), added commercials and trash voice overs, now they have some journalist. Some are speculating ESPN made them change

12 mins.. but very nice legit breakdown of the destruction Cejudo put on TJ
and how the stoppage saved him from being flattened into the mat

Here, I will breakdown and analyze the quick but technical fight in
Henry Cejudo vs TJ Dillashaw. Where did TJ make his mistake?
How did Cejudo dictate the distance? Was the stoppage early?
BTW.. there is an angle on a gif that shows the ref rushing in and his knee getting in the way a bit but Cejudo snatched TJ away from it and stood him up to punch him some more

Damn Cejudo .. weird how this fight promotion fit my chemistry so well
loud mouth supertalent with no humility or respect for the sport goes popping off how he is going to kill the flyweight division..
and at the same time BEFORE that fight even started was talking about working on killing the champion above him...
Him and Dana both seemed to give Cejudo no respect..
Walks in trying to be all warrior like and got sent back to kindergarten to find a part of him that never grew.
**From an athletic perspective.. I noticed Cejudos hip and lower back muscles being so much stronger at their core than TJs
The talent level in MMA is so vastly different than it was 15-20 years ago (Although one could argue that MMA's talent level was better about 5-10 years ago)
Fedor has had a long great career. I wonder if this is (finally) it for him.
If you look at the guys today, some may not even understand that Fedor was the greatest in his generation.But the Talent level is different. Comparing Fedor to, say, Jon Jones, is like comparing Elgin Baylor to LeBron. Sport is so much different than it once was that i don't really see it as a fair or valid comparison. Of course the 2018 guy would walk all over the 1965 guy. But its always funny when i hear people compare Fedor to today's best.

Todays fighters could learn a bit about Ground and Pound from this (bleep) lol
Fedor would swing you to the ground and kick you in the face just before he mounted you.. Fight through your kicks while you're on the ground and just keep swinging wild strikes like a snake or something
Watched him duck a guys roundhouse and punch him in the side of the face before he ever spun back around..
I am sure the Honeybader and Fedor know each other because I dare any fighter to have said "You can't take me to the ground" Fedor didn't give a (bleep) who you were.. He was there to smash you into the mat
Chuck vs Fedor? Who else is in besides me? Y'all know you want it.
Are walkers allowed?
I am still a bit upset to see him Gone.. and to leave like that
I know he is over the hill and surely he got a decent payday for that fight..
But will Fedor ask for a rematch so he doesn't go out like that?
Hopefully not. Dude is clearly done.
Anybody hype for tonight’s fight night?
Aldo vs Moicano at 145lb winner will be next in line to fight max for the title. Assuncao vs moraes at 135lb winner will be next in line to fight tj for the title (unless tj loses to Cejudo at 135 too)

Aldo was getting picked apart in round 1 and I thought it looked every bit like it just might be a replay of his fights with Holloway. But dude closed that gap from the moment the second round began, went to work with purpose, stunned Moicano and let his elite killer instincts do the rest. What a freaking storm of attack. And accurate af too. Super impressed.
It’s just too bad there’s not much else for him in the division and nowhere to go but laterally because he isn’t ever getting to the pinnacle besting Max.
As impossible as it sounds, I think he should try like crazy to get a rematch with McG and then call it a career. Maybe he takes on Ortega? Just not sure what’s out there for him that makes sense for $ or legacy.
Moraes has grown so much since the first fight with Assuncao and the same cant be said the other way. Strictly outclassed. I’d love to see how Marlon matches up with TJ. _________________ We back.
