At first I was a little pissed at Dana & co for not giving Dom the immediate rematch a great like him deserved...but he was okay with it & I think I know why. On JRE recently he said that he does want an immediate rematch...but he wants to see how the TJ vs Cody fight plays out first then fight the winner. He's an amazing analyst as we know. I'm thinking he wants to use it to his advantage in terms of recovery/giving his body a break after three five round fights in one year as well as seeing how Cody does against TJ.
Dom already knows how to beat TJ...& he surely may even understand how to beat Cody too. But seeing how he does against another fighter somewhat similar to himself as well a former teammate will give him that extra analytical edge for adjustments, etc.
I could see them giving Dom his immediate rematch too depending on how other things go with other fighters. Specifically Assuncao & Jimmie Rivera. Assuming they fight & Assuncao were to win then it would be most sensible for Dom. Rivera not as much but hey...we're in the UFCircus era.
I also found it super interesting how he said the cut changed things so much in the Cody fight. You could tell just by watching as well. I was afraid it would get stopped myself as was Dom which he explains why he got more aggressive in RD3&4 because he knew how bad the cut was.
