Who's had a worse year- TJ or Cody?

[dissectingaorticaneurysm]

Cody: brutal KO loss (3rd in a row). Miles away from title contention now. His gym is in shambles.
TJ: humiliated at a weight class below. USADA'ed and stripped of his belt. Out for a year, his reputation tarnished.

So which of these two gentlemen is in a worse predicament right now?

 

[IloveTHIS]

TJ. hes one of the most arrogant fighters around. Constantly yapping about his "legacy" going down and picking on a smaller man. Legacy this, legacy that. As if hes been a reigning undefeated champion for years..

hows your legacy looking now saltiboi?

Cody looked decent in all 3 fights and then went full retard. Rough, but he can possibly bounce back if they give him a softball matchup. TJ got popped for PEDs which will hang over him FOREVER, and got DUSTED by a 5'4 manlet in 30 seconds.

TJ won the fight, Cody won the war. Called TJ's juicing long before he popped.

Also, TJ is showing rapid signs of balding for his age. RIP

TJ "relinquished" his belt

Cheating and still losing is worse than going out on your shield.

 

[JabToucher]

Cody worse by far.

Away from title contention as you say. Due to ko losses.

At least TJ's loss can be argued as being due to the cut.

 

[Frank McEdgar]

TJ made more money.

Cody, because he's now the Chuck Lidell of his weight class.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

TJuice, easily.

Cody has shown full tard fight IQ, but Dillashaw just did a DOUBLE faceplant in terms of his career.

Went down to fight a smaller opponent thinking it was going to be an easy way into being a double champ. Gets absolutely ran over in epic fashion, then tests positive for PEDs on top of it. Got smoked even while cheating his ass off.

Getting KO'd while moving DOWN in weight to pick a fight with a smaller opponent is really bad. Getting suspended for a PEDS violation while doing it, that really is legitimately the worst.

Cody is young, talented and a freak athlete. Bad Fight IQ is fixable and he's likely going to be a top 5 fighter in that division for some years to come, very likely a title challenger.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

You guys are all forgetting that Cody's hairline has jumped a full number or two on the Norwood scale.

 

[TNGS1]

TJ
Cody has time to turn it around

Cody

 

[ookii]

Considering Cody had already lost his belt the year before, TJ is having a worse year with his 30 second defeat against a lighter division guy and then failing his drug test

dat CTE tho...
he's experiencing detachment from his consciousness at levels rarely seen in the lighter weight classes.

YES! Sherdog's PED patrol already got TJ's new nickname. "TJuice" <Lmaoo><45> I love it. How you gonna cheat and get starched in 30 seconds? One of the more embarrassing chain of events I can remember.

TJ is the cringiest fighter eva'.

Luke Rockhold.

 

[Kvothe_the_kingkiller]

Cody.

Both will take a bit of a hiatus, but one is a millionaire and the other isn't.

 

[EYEKICKFACES]

Cody and it is not close. Fighters bounce back after getting caught juicing all the time. Not so much after losing your chin.
