Assuncao is in a weird spot. He's 1 and 1 with TJ, but it was a controversial win followed by a clear loss. If Assuncao wants a TS, he needs to knock off another heavy contender like Cruz, Garbrant, or Rivera.Assuncao should get the shot and then Rivera/moraes winner. Or Cody if he’ll man up and fight someone like lineker.
Cruz is MIA
Tj wants to fight like by summer time I think. Rivera/moraes are booked a few months from now I think...so they won’t be available. That leaves cruz Cody and assuncao. I guess give it to Cruz and Cody can fight lineker. Not sure what the hell assuncao does unless Cody will fight himAssuncao is in a weird spot.

And that's what I mean by a weird spot. I think Assuncao actually has more of a claim to a TS than Cody, so Cody's in no position to turn him down. I'd rather see Garbrandt fight Lineker, but Assuncao deserves a contender fight.Tj wants to fight like by summer time I think.

Agreed, if assuncao doesn’t get it cruz should. If Cruz can’t TJ gotta sit and wait for moraes or Rivera. Cody don’t deserve a rematch right away. Neither does Cruz really, but the Cruz tj fight 2 years ago was razor thin close.And that's what I mean by a weird spot.

Hehe I second thisTJ needs to avenge to cement his 135 legacy. He beats cruz convincingly, he’s GOAT 135’er. Period.
If TJ can make 125 thats all that mattersSounds good, atleast he isn’t calling out guys in the flyweight division anymore. Call out Max Holloway!
Maybe, but i dont think he'll ever be a long reigning champ unless he mixes up his game, starts using more wrestling. His chin is a little suspect as well, Cruz stunned him mildly a few times with jabs and TJ put him out.Honestly think Cody will be champ again by sometime in 2019
