This topic is kinda special to me because the night he beat Barao was the same night i survived a bad injury. I followed the buildup before to the fight but didn't think much of it because Barao was a monster anyway

Then TJ won and it was absolutely amazing at the time.

But yeah shit happened since.
 
In his prime, loved his style, but thought he was a major dick
So while it was cool seeing him put on sick performances in the cage, I wasn't upset when he lost

I do respect his analysis of the game when he's been on podcasts recently, unlike other fighters, he won't be bias and be give a honest assessment

I like TJ. It's unfortunate when you hear about him hurting people in sparing and the PEDs but I loved watching his fighting style, and when he speaks on Rampages podcast I find him also very insightful and interesting to listen to.
 
A very talented fighter. I was a fan of his style since watching him on TUF and it was pretty cool to watch him put it all together in his prime. However as others have mentioned, him being a dick sparring partner paired with his PED use makes me not reflect too fondly on him.
 
All time great BW with one of the most complete skill sets and one of the biggest jumps in skillset ever, very exciting style but also kinda douchy and sadly his legacy has been compromised with the whole EPO escandal.

IMO the BW GOAT.
