Didn't agree with the DJ/Cejudo decision. I thought on the feet DJ was landing the cleaner & harder shots throughout, it was close admittedly & it's not like DJ was lighting him up without reply, but I thought it was pretty clear he was getting the best of the majority of the exchanges.
Cejudo did manage to actually get him down twice & keep him there, but didn't actually manage to do very much other than keep him there. Caused next to no damage & I don't think he even advanced position once. I hate the takedown counting for so much in the eyes of the judges, not taking into account stuffed takedown attempts OR what actually happens after the takedown. Personally I thought at worst it was 3-2 to Mighty Mouse, maybe even 4-1 as 1 of those takedown rounds I thought other than actually taking him down Cejudo hadn't done enough.
TJ & Cody I was surprised with, I thought this time Cody would be a lot more controlled as he was against Cruz, but he just gets so wild throwing these looping hooks trying to take TJ's head off. I think that's the only thing that seperates these 2 is when TJ gets hurt he's more willing to shoot for a TD, take a step back or try to clinch, whereas Cody will just bite down on his mouthpiece & swing. Skillset wise, they are so close they could fight another 3 times & Cody could win the next 3. I hope this rivalry isn't over as I want to see a 3rd fight, Cody needs to go away & get a few wins though obviously.
