Crazy to think about how much of a phenom he was at the time, and how quick things can change. Only guy to have it worse, IMO, was Miguel Torres.
I dunno man. TJ beat THE PISS out of him a couple times. My guess is it was that. Fucking brain damage, man. I feel the same way about Gus, but less so.
Out of all current ufc fighters, TJ is the meanest son of a bitch once in the cage. He crushed Barao’s soul.
He’s slow to react and punchy now
my guess - no peds, age slowing him, lost the hunger.
its like BJ - aging fighters become punching bags - forget to throw, just take it

Yeah it’s weird. Seems like a decent dude( I don’t pay any stock to that snake shit. Guy had to do what was best for his career) but he’s a fucking cold calculated killer when he gets in there. Awesome to see finishers at lighter weights
I jumped all over Baraos dick fanboying him hard and as soon as I did he went on his colossal downslide. Poor bastard.
haha, i remember when that video was first posted, i lost it at the jens pulver's smile part, which is no longer true. i think once he got his teeth fixed, he lost his drive to be on top.
To be fair, he got dropped by McDonald, was losing to wineland, got a gift stoppage against faber. He was never a p4p goat.
His body looks soft compared to a few years ago. USADA victim
