    Cody has the most skill in terms of throwing hands for any fighter under 155, but his chin has been checked too often.

    Cody is some idiot. A bit of patience and he had that fight won but gets himself involved in a fistfight. He's way too hot headed.

    Cody is not an intelligent fighter.

    That's definitely not true though.
    The Cody who tooled up Dom Cruz was probably the most dominant, slick, intelligent underdog in a championship fight in recent memory.

    Yeah Cody is a great fighter and can be intelligent for sure.... he is just very hot headed and gets dragged into slug fests for some apparent reason, I think he will learn his lesson from this fight and come back.

    I have to agree with this. But Jaysus this can be a cruel sport. When Cody won that fight he was at the pinnacle. Its been a painful fall since then. He just doesnt seem to be the same fighter.

    He used to be intelligent. Until he got knocked out twice by TJ...now he's just reckless

    Exactly what I meant. In both TJ fights he was on top, even just slightly, and threw it away being reckless.

    Its his emotional side that lets him down.

    There were 3 Cody's in there tonight, a stiff and defensive, a fluid skill full, and a wild slugger. Unfortunately he does not have the chin for the latter.

    Cody’s leg was ****ed and he was having trouble moving on it right away . He knew Muhnoz was going to keep attacking it and it was really bothering him so he tried to get him out as soon as he had him hurt and got caught . A bit more self control he would have won .

    Again tonight he was doing his stupid cocky moves for a second or 2. These moves only look good if you end up winning. Agree with everyone saying Cody is too emotional and has no brain. Where does he go from here?? Has he even dropped below a Cruz rematch if Cruz can make it back??

    You need to stop listening to Joe "over reactionary" Rogan.

    Cody got tagged, and when he did he started swinging, he hurt Pedro and then rather than resetting and being smart he started swinging wildly and got hurt.

    He did the same against TJ in the second fight too. Got dropped, and finished soon after.

    Lads, the way Robbie's arm drops is not insignificant.

    A Bulldog choke is a legit choke and Robbie wasn't getting out of it.

    While it was a very poor stoppage, Robbie was never getting out of that IMO, so it doesn’t hugely bother me.

    Maybe, just maybe, could there be a way to restart the fight from the same position in situations like that?

    Fair ****s to Askren to recover after that opening minute. I thought he was gonna get stopped at one point. He's a tough cookie.
