TJ is hard to gampeplan for

[UFC=Pride]

TJ is a beast no doubt

 

[VAfan]

he's definitely got the GSP thing going on, where he doesn't really have any weaknesses. you could make an argument that along with MM they are the most well rounded champs in history.

 

[mirellale]

Say what?

LOL probably the most damaging shot Dom threw in this fight

 

[MadHouse]

he is but like everyone else he does have his share of holes
he tends to dip his head a lot something Cody never took advantage of that and once TJ can't hit his mark he has shown to get overly flustered its clear as day in the Cruz fight

yeah.... But....

As if judges always get it right

There is a reason why we're on Sherdog and they're scoring fights.

 

[Which Doctor]

TJ's chin is shit; Dodson would smoke him again.

Yeah and sometimes they are doing a pretty shit job.

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Lol TJ is a poor mans Dom.

Because they applied for a judging license and we didn't?

 

[Mr. 4K]

I don't mean to fluster you bro. Ain't nothing but love over here but your boy lost and you could make a case for both fighters.

Yes you can and i'm making a case for TJ here.He was the one who did more damage and should have won.

Round 4: TJ:35 Dom:34

Round 5 :TJ:33 Dom:30

Cody has very shitty fight IQ. Also Cruz did just fine against TJ.

TJ is way better compared to his fight with Cruz. If Cody had such bad iq how did he piece up Dom so easily?

 

[ThaiPlumRillo]

Just think Cruz's bobbing and weaving a couple punches swayed the incompetent judges. Cruz poses no threat to TJ

 

[Harlekin]

Have a look how far TJ is from the Center line with his upper body. Good thing in boxing generally and he prepared for Garbrandt (boxer style).
Against somebody who uses more wrestling, that's a problem. Cruz does the same, but a little different.

That's why Cruz had 4:1 takedowns on him. Although not doing much, that might have won him a round.

Cruz height: 172
reach: 173

TJ height: 167
reach 170

Garbrandt reach 166

That's another factor why Cruz won at that game.

Prime Cruz > TJ > Garbrandt > Prime Cruz...

TJ and his coach Duane Ludwig find YOUR weaknesses and exploit them, even more so in rematches. They also find what you're good at and beat you at your own game.

How do you train for a fighter who knows your weaknesses and exactly how to exploit them? How do you train for a fighter that beats you at your own game?

Here's TJ "Codying" Cody at his own game.

With the right training camp, he's very beatable.
