TJ's lateral movement was too insane..Even when Barao was trying to cut the cage, TJ would step to the side and lunge forward and literally be behind him and then counter.
The lateral movement wasn't the only problem, but also the distance TJ used on Barao. It was just out of reach for Barao's kicks, but just enough for TJ to rush forward with a combo (kind of similar to Horiguchi karate style if any of you watch him.) and get out of dodge.
The speed, distance, timing, and footwork...I mean, how do you deal with it? Even Andre was pleading with Barao to not trade punches, but go for the take down instead.
Probably a question for Jack Slack.
