TJ is such a piece of trash. Had a feeling way back since I first saw him on TUF.
I've been hating on him for years and my two brothers were both always like "why do you hate him?", "I like him", etc, and I knew he just had this smug ass look on his face, a cocky attitude, and that I didn't really see anything special from him. Dude has never impressed me, I'm not even kidding. I knew in my heart this guy was a piece of shit.
Always trust your first instincts. And your second. And your third.
I love how Matt Serra tore into this guy. I dunno why people are trying to be nice and cordial about him.
A piece of shit cheater like him could seriously hurt someone. He was accused (and I'm sure it's true) of already ruining somebody's fight career with a blatant kick to the back of the head during sparring IIRC.
Here's the vid.
Fuck this guy, he should be banned for life. Feels so good seeing Cejudo knock him around in that last fight and have TJ piss and moan about losing all while knowing he cheated for the fight. The nerve of this guy, seriously.
Cody's the hero we deserve. I love that guy. His trash talk is so bad it's good, I think he's hilarious.
The show he put out against Cruz is one of the best I've ever seen in this sport. Cruz was so cocky at the time and he needed to come back down to earth. Also, just compare Cody and TJ's fights against Cruz and it's plain as day who the more talented fighter is.
Cody had TJ beat that first fight too, he was only saved by the ref giving him a chance, the bell, and his fucking NEEDLE.
So glad I don't have to see this piece of garbage for at least 2 years.
