Cody is ducking TJ already...

Talking about Cruz, Aldo, Conor, but not TJ since the press conference. Sounds to me like TJ really did own him in practice. I'd love to see Cody fight any of those guys, but I don't remember the last time someone so blatantly dodged someone. 

Conor-Frankie

Bisping-Jacare

 

thats just two to name

Wasn't it him that owned tj in practice

Conor was chasing money more than avoiding Frankie, imo. But then again, he might be avoiding Khabib more than he's preparing for fatherhood. We'll see. 

 

Bisping can't hide now. Though he seems to not want to fight Yoel. 

 

You've got a point. Does anyone fight everyone anymore?

No TJ called Cody out about crying after getting beat up in practice after Cody called TJ an easy fight. 

How is he afraid to fight TJ if he's willing to fight a way bigger guy who has lost once in ten years?

Cody should fight TJ, it's got an angle and could sell well. They both looked good on the last card and the history should be promotional gold. You can tell Cody doesn't like TJ either, which actually might be a reason he doesn't want to give him a shot, but that should help sell the fight. I think this fight sells better than him vs Aldo.

I say, fight TJ, solidify himself atop that division and then challenge heavier fighters.

I'm not liking the trend where champions haven't defended their belt once and are already looking for "superfights" against guys a weightclass above them. He's by no means cleaned out the division.

Well they said the same thing about the guy who gave that guy his only loss in ten years - you shouldn't be surprised. 

 

McGregor had really ruined the sport. There needs to be a real ranking system and Champs must fight the number one contenders. This circus is getting ridiculous at this point.

Joesondo is correct!

Lol...you're right Mutant. McGregor did "ruin" the sport or , I believe he said, " blow da game up." Or something to that effect

i think cody that fought cruz KOs dillashaw

Couldn't agree more.

He talking about fighting everyone except TJ, who is the clear contender that had the best promotional storyline built in. Of course Conor sells more, but that's not happening. I'd love the Aldo fight too, but that's no money fight. TJ is the legitimate contender and they could promote it in a way that makes a ton of people care to see it. 

"TJ Dillashaw...come try me motherfucker!"

- Cody...right after the fight, in the cage (you should check it out!)

Made me LOL.

So he calls TJ in the cage then Dana told him about TJ trying to start a union all af sudden Cody wants to fight every besides him. 

I'm just sick of the recent trend of guys winning the belt and not wanting to simply defend it. First it's Woodley, then Alvarez demanding Conor (though both wanted it), and now Cody (you can probably throw Bisping in there too) - all won and demand big fights

Defend the belt once or twice before you start denying rightful contenders their shot.
