Baraos chin is insane

[Wizzlebiz]

Just fucking insane.

Those shots he took in round 2 from stephens were viscious. In fact that same uppercut put away rda.

Im impressed

Also props to stephens.

 

[joeyjoejoe]

Fuck he kept his composure which was impressive.

TJ hands of stone haha

Lost the fight but took so many power shots from Stephens and never flinched. Reminded me of the 2nd TJ fight, where he got TKOed after 20+ shots but never went down.

TJ hands of stone haha

Tj hits hard. He just couldnt hit cruz

 

[Ar145984]

yeah he took some serious shots , i was very impressed by that. and his TDD is insane

 

[M Raid K]

Even Dillashaw needed championship rounds to put him away.

It's a good thing that Barao still has heart and chin. Really close fight. His gas tank didn't hold up, but he attempted a lot of TDs. It's a loss, but Barao looked good and showed some improvements.

 

[Huligani]

I thought TJ would have cracked his chin after their second fight, but nope. Very impressed not only by that but by his improvements which he showed in the first.

 

[B0ZZ]

Goes to show tj is an under appreciated beast

 

[Diamond Jim]

Stephens saying he didn't belong at 145lbs, but I thought he handled the fight well enough to prove he can hang in the division.

 

[MrFeeny]

Goes to show tj is an under appreciated beast

did tj drop him 2 or 3 times? i forgot

 

[B0ZZ]

did tj drop him 2 or 3 times? i forgot

Something like that yeah

 

[MPD-Psycho]

Yeah I was surprised he survived those bombs.

 

[discrawg]

Yeah that was epic, couldn't believe he ate those shots.

 

[KONE]

 

[Davey Crockett]

Says more about Cruz' chin. Has he ever been rocked?

 

[Forever Young]

yo barao is the fuckin man. Lil heathen too. But yeah, surviving the shots he's survived is pretty insane

dude is knows he has to get better footwork though. shit wouldn't happe n if he'd stop circling into thos power shots

 

[Jar of Flies]

That uppercut looked like it could have stumbled him but he fell forward and was held up by Stephens body.

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

did tj drop him 2 or 3 times? i forgot

first fight - once in the first, once in the fifth leading to the finish.

don't think he dropped him in the second fight.

 

[flex4life]

Pre and Post USADA TJ are different beasts.

 

[greenseeker]

It's no secret Barao struggled with the weight cut at 135. Going up to 145 may have helped his durability.
