Especially not against Barao. He was too perfect, it's a once in a career type of performance. So when Barao is back in the title picture and they fight again, it's not going to go like that again, especially because he won't land a knockout punch again in the first round that will ruin Renan for the rest of the fight.
it's hard to judge really, Barao may finally be feeling the ramifications of his huge wright cut or maybe had a bad day. Maybe TJ had a really really good day or maybe has that style to beat Barao. Best way to see is a rematch
Damn let the man have his victory he earned it. He just pulled off such a huge upset the butthurt is ridiculious.
Any thread about TJ that isn't written like it's another Joe Rogan nuthug fest will meet silly, angry Sherdog meme'd responses as you can see.
TS, he already has delivered another performance like this. His fight against Mike Easton was basically the same. Amazing striking, with excellent use of angles, even the late head kick, it just didn't lead to a KO. TJ just is that good. Deal with it.
I don't think TJ is going to be downed by some shertard threads. I'm sure he and his fiance and coach are plenty happy now, as they should be.
