I think TJ took a bit of Barao's heart early when he hurt him too, didn't have a killer's look in his eyes, tentative.

Great fight by Dillashaw Barao looked scared after that first round like he knew what was coming

I felt the same way, don't think he ever recovered from that early knockdown. Pretty much on auto pilot after that.sportchampps;1619549 wrote:Great fight by Dillashaw Barao looked scared after that first round like he knew what was coming

Impressive but he did have like 30-40 lbs on him, still no one has treated Hendo like that.I Wear Pants;1619600 wrote:

Just watched the Dillashaw fight, great performance. To show how much he has come out of nowhere, he wasn't even included in the new UFC video game that is coming out. Crazy.

Especially being a guy that didn't even win TUF when he was on the show (came in 2nd). Just a guy that lost to Assunciao less than 8 months ago...Zoltan;1619772 wrote:Just watched the Dillashaw fight, great performance.

He came out of nowhere and dominated one of the best fighters in the world.

Didn't see the fight, but was shocked when I read he dominated him. Really think Cruz has a shot of getting his belt back now.

Well he should have won the Assunciao fight as the judges botched the decision. His standup is completely different from when he was on TUF and you can attribute that to his Bang Muay Thai.

I agree that he should have won the Assunciao decision, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it was close enough in the judges eyes that he didn't.sportchampps;1619827 wrote:Well he should have won the Assunciao fight as the judges botched the decision.

Then 7 months later he dominates Barao? Incredible.

Barao looked a little flat too, didn't seem to have his normal freakish speed and explosion. That could be because of TJ's movement though. He also blasted him with that right hand in the first round that changed the fight. Or maybe this is Frankie/BJ situation and he just has his number. We will see.

BTW that season of TUF might turn out to be one of the most wusses flu ever with TJ already winning the title and I wouldn't be surprised if Dotson beats Mighty Mouse when they fight again.

I believe the flash KO that TJ hit him with in the first completely changed the fight for Barao. He was flat/slow for the rest of the fight only connecting on a few good shots. He NEVER looked good with his kicks which is where he normally shines.

Hope DC is actually as good as his talking, I'd love to see him beat Jones.

If DC was just that big and a good striker I'd say Jones would beat him. However, with DC's wrestling being actually much better than Jones AND being huge for LHW, DC will be Jones in my opinion if Gus doesn't beat him to it.

Lawler vs Matt Brown is your main event for the FOX show in San Jose in July. The violence will be unfathomable.

Wow great fight. It will be interesting to see if Brown can implement his clinch game on Lawler, who is huge and explosive at 170.

I think Ruthless ends it in round 1. Aggressive Matt Brown vs. Lawlers accurate and powerful punches, give me Lawler all day.robj55;1619938 wrote:Lawler vs Matt Brown is your main event for the FOX show in San Jose in July. The violence will be unfathomable.

That fight will almost undoubtedly end in the first round with those two and I'm sure winner will be in line for the title shot

I don't think Lawler beating Brown means title shot, but i think Brown beating Lawler is 1000% title shot worthy.sportchampps;1620055 wrote:That fight will almost undoubtedly end in the first round with those two and I'm sure winner will be in line for the title shot
I want to see Woodly get a shot at Hendricks.
