@@Killacam1992 I know friend, but it doesn’t change the humor I find in seeing Uriah give an interview while simultaneously having Cody in the background shadowboxing like he’s picturing his alcoholic step father. Not trying to soil the man’s name or anything. Just a spur of the moment musing with a stranger on the internet. Garbrandt actually has very efficient and aesthetically pleasing fluidity when he shadow boxes.
Cody gets worked up so easy, TJ took his soul throughout the season, and beat what was left out of him in the actual fight. He was never the same after getting finished. Cooked him. Absolutely cooked him.
TJ was on BPO.. And TJ got Starched at the bell in the 1st round!! but yea if cody could've controlled his temper the sky would've been the limit for him
I basically commented the same thing without seeing ur comment lol, I think him trying to bully tj wasn’t the smartest move, and I to think that he let his emotions get in the way, and it could’ve been closer if he kept calmer, Cody was a fun fighter to watch but after tj he really wasn’t the same
Anyone : hey Cody, how are you Cody : what the fuck you mean by that bitch? How am I? Better after I beat your ass, what? Anyone : ok I'm not gonna talk to you this season...
@@jakedalton6236 lol and he’s still always been one of my favorite fighters of all time. His performance against Cruz was probably the single greatest performance in UFC history and that alone cemented his legacy. I’m stoked he’s making a comeback and secured a solid W and it seems he’s much more composed and mature.
@@Killacam1992 Agreed bro and seeing TJ pop makes me sad for Cody man because he totally could of won that fight against TJ and who knows how much the peds helped TJ in the fight against Cody. Cody for sure has the skill to make it back to the top and he’s in his prime right now imo. (31)
@@Killacam1992 Conor’s performance against Eddie was damn near flawless and got a finish. Don’t get me wrong, Cody absolutely shined and shocked the world that day, but Cruz still won 2 rounds.
6:36 Cody pacing and shadowboxing in the background after the heated moment with Dillishaw 😂😂😂. At that time, he was truly an emotional meathead. And in the next room TJ with his team just making jokes lolssss
Yep. Cuz thats all conor is good for. Beating up dudes half his size. Conor drained himself to be 145 and the fact he was picking fights with 135ers showed his cowardice
See behind the scenes of press conference between tj and Cody, they are still friends and all this wasostly a friends fallout but they made up during 2nd fight.
the funniest part about this is how emotional cody is compared to tj, when connor was coaching them he was too emotional, when he was coaching tuf he was too emotional, he loses so often because of how emotionally attached he is .
@@matrix35 TJ is the bully. He’s the one cheap shooting guys after the bell in sparring. Giving guys life long injuries, including ending 2 guys careers with cheap shots. Cody is emotional. Not the bully. He doesn’t act like this to anyone else. Only TJ
Don’t forget that it was much less him wanting to leave the gym as much as it was wanting to continue being able to train with a coach he’d grown close with that left TAM. And they originally had been cool with TJ spending time with both and the big issue came about when TJ told them about the offer he had to train out of the MusclePharm gym where he was being paid to train in that gym compared to paying to train with TAM. And that would be the gym he would be associated with primarily and expressed he wanted to train and spar with TAM when he was in that area and at that point Urijiah did express that he didn’t want that and that he felt if he wasn’t primarily on their team then it didn’t make sense to have him coming in and working with their team. So there’s points on both sides because TJ did get kicked off being associated with their gym to an extent but it was understandable for Urijiah to decide that if he was only going to be an occasional drop in and not be a true member of their team then he should just fully move on. But TJ had valid reason to move to the other gym also. Not only for the coach he wanted to be working with but also being paid while he trained rather than having to foot the bill for his training. The real issue is that neither side handled the split well nor did either side ever truly open themselves to understanding the merit to how the other felt and then presented their side publicly without giving consideration in their comments to those factors to try and present their side in a way that painted the other side as the bad guys. They could’ve avoided a lot of the issues if they both had openly understood and agreed that they both had merit to split up and that it was just a business call on both sides and that it wasn’t personal and that they’d remain friends. But both sides took everything personally and made efforts to portray things that diminished the other sides position to intentionally paint them in a bad light. And the loyalty above everything and that guy is now the enemy view of things was stupid and something that only a meathead like Cody would be so emotional about.
Still believe to this day Uriah is still wanting answers on why TJ leaving Alpha Male . Just when TJ was explaining why to Uriah then Cody comes in interrupting TJ lol. Btw I know Uriah knows why TJ left
The facade and broken heart show Uriah put on will always be eye rolling to me but it worked the way he hoped it would. TJ never hid the ball about why he left and while he framed his exit in a way to try and paint Uriah and crew as the vindictive team that kicked him to the curb when he didn’t want to leave he did in fact get kicked off of being a part of their team and faced an ultimatum which Uriah retelling his exit shows to be what happened although TJ portrays things like Uriah did that swayed the events to make Uriah the enemy and himself as the aggrieved party. And both of them had merit to the choice they made and if the sides had spoken on the events objectively rather than twisting the narrative the widespread public may have understood that both sides made reasonable decisions and neither needed to be seen as an enemy. TJ was extremely close to Ludwig, tried to arrange for him to work with him at TAM which Ludwig wouldn’t do, and was transparent of wanting to work with Ludwig and spent two camps in Colorado primarily. And it was reasonable that being offered to continue preparing how he wanted and had been doing but not have the expenses he previously had, be provided a home covered by the gym and on top of not having the costs also getting paid for it when at that point in time he hadn’t been making big money yet and was going to get paid nearly 1/3 of what he’d gotten in disclosed UFC payouts the prior year. And Uriahs stance wasn’t wrong to decide that if TJ was representing a different team and was only going to be a random drop in to be involved with TAM either. It was fair to tell TJ that he was welcome to be on the team but that he needed to truly be on the team and that door was open to him but that it was a no-go to allocate his commitment entirely to the new gym and then drop in when he feels like it at TAM. Just too bad that neither ever embraced that and kept whatever relationship they had whole.
Tj waiting for Coner to be allllll the way accross the room to chirp is hilarious. Cody just reacting to Coner was hilarious too. That one guy who just sat there when Coner asked him to do something about it says everything lmao
after that first round who'd thought Cody would then get finished in the second, go on the run he has & now is just seen as past his best, hes not even the age now TJ was in this fight.
I bet you wouldn’t say PEDs gave Jones an advantage against DC though. I see this argument all the time, and people only say it about TJ. They never say it about other fighters who have tested positive like Anderson and Jon.
@@jadenbrown8813 What a dumbass assumption to make. Of course I would have said the same thing about Jones wtf? I said the same thing about Silva too, and anyone else who popped. The problem with this fight in particular was how close Cody was to getting the finish and TJ's recovery is directly tied to the PED's that he popped for.
@@jadenbrown8813 Exactly, everybody considers Jones the GOAT while he cheated a fuck lot!!! Casual stink fans. They dont know shit. That said, TJ is also a cheater. But I did like his stomping on Cody to be honest. Especially after that TUF show.
man its so crazy, I used to like Thomas Almeida when he was on his rise in the UFC. Then Cody finished him and Thomas was never the same. Then, when I support Cody in his beef vs TJ, he loses and he was never the same. Like wtf bro 😅
I'm literally only about 7 minutes into this and Cody gets on my nerves so freaking bad. The way Cody and the rest of team Alpha Male acted on the show really made ALL of them look extremely pathetic. T.J. Dillashaw forsure got his payback towards Cody and the rest of that team. Dillashaw beat the crap outta him twice. I use to think the downfall of Cody Garbrandt was straight up KARMA handling him. But now looking back on it I feel really sorry for him. Gabrandt against Dominick Cruz was freaking amazing. I also felt and still feel like the guys at team Alpha Male only worked with Cody for several years to fight against one guy and one guy only and that was Dominick Cruz. Cody had so much potential if he could've actually developed his fighting IQ instead of just think his right hand power shot was the only thing he needed to be able to get in the cage and fight these amazing professional fighters was freaking crazy.
Its a stretch to say that TAM only trained Cody for dom cruz though. If you rewatch their fight the only reason Cody won is bcuz his speed and it was a closer fight than people thought.
Lol idk why a bunch of casuals say this, you really think someone’s gonna get into MMA, learn every aspect, get good or decent in every aspect and create a certain style for themselves for one person? Cody wanted to be a martial artist whether Dominick Cruz existed or not, this isn’t like periera and izzy where Alex comes into MMA because they already had a history. Cody garbrandt Was probably getting his girl stolen in high school while Dominick was winning title fights. They simply had a great gameplan for Cruz, and it worked cause Cody has power and speed that most guys don’t have at 135. He was built to beat Cruz and they already had a lot of footage on Cruz, simple as that. Acting like he went to bed every night studying Cruz since a 14 year old.
And he obviously had/has fight IQ, he would just let his emotions get the best of him as he’s admitted before. He outclassed Cruz and you thought he needed to work on IQ ? He starched everyone before that as well. It’s obviously not an IQ issue it was a confidence issue after being stopped twice by TJ.
The narrative that Cody was only trained to beat Cruz because of the way things turned out following his win against Cruz has always been such a silly take because it’s a much juicier explanation of the sharp drop off he experienced following his heralded performance against Cruz. The reality is he was destroying people and had nine KO/TKO wins and seven in the first round so he developed into over reliance on knocking people out, almost always very quickly, and didn’t adequately focus on other parts of his game including nonexistent defense. He also had a ton of amateur boxing fights and even having a strong background wrestling never swayed from striking. And he let his emotions take over to his detriment as he has openly acknowledged which took him off any prudent gameplan tons of times. Time after time he’d start out fine and then something would get his emotions to spark and he’d revert to a slugfest as he tried to force a finish and leave himself wide open to being hit and after taking a few right to his dome went down. You can train and create a plan but it doesn’t matter if the fighter doesn’t follow it and stick to it and Cody never had the discipline to stick to a plan and avoid taking the risk of slugging it out. There were guys brought in to coach Cody for the second TJ fight who spoke about what the game plan was supposed to be and how he basically abandoned it right away. But he was taken off his plan super easily and he always reverted to what he always had which was striking. He also had a ton of injuries leading into the first TJ fight which obviously didn’t make things better. He was trained he just never had the emotional discipline to move away from taking the risks he was taking or adapt his approach away from it. And he was always working through injuries and it’s hurt his results
Literally just rewatched this whole season. Cody made the biggest fool of himself. Really sad to see knowing what happened following this. Dillashank made him eat every word.
Not really he developed an over reliance on quick knockouts and next to no defense because until TJ it was never an issue. He never employed a strong defense but rather rushed to slug it out to finish a fight and when guys didn’t go down quickly in the initial flurry the chase for the finish left him exposed and when he got caught dead on he went down. Cruz is a decision fighter and rarely knocked guys out so the issue wasn’t fully exposed prior to TJ. And he let his emotion take him away from the game plan way too quickly and pay zero focus on defense with a full focus on a finish - look at the change in his Pedro fight and how even as he took the major blow he was swinging with no abandon. He never developed a full skill set that focused on anything outside of striking and never had a strong defense so a lot of dudes were able to see that if you could survive his initial barrage then he’d leave himself exposed to damage and that he’d be so locked on to striking that there wasn’t anything requiring your focus like kicks, takedowns or ground attacks. Or knowing that when he gets upset about something he will immediately go chasing a finish with reckless abandon to take advantage of. Training and plans are only as valuable when the fighter has the discipline to commit to it and see it through and Cody never had that and people have always pinned it on TAM rather than recognizing that Cody just never stuck to a change and got thrown off of whatever his plans were way too easily
That snake narrative was such a joke. He got stuck in a scenario where he was going to make TAM upset because he liked working with Ludwig or he had to pass up working with a coach he was really close with since the coach didn’t get along with Uriah. He talked about what he wanted to do and that he wanted to remain a part of TAM which Uriah said he was fine with. And when he was offered and decided he’d spend an entire fight camp with the place he was already spending a lot of his prep with but would now be able to do what he had been without the expense of paying to train, paying for a home in the area but having one provided, and also being paid for all of it which was sizable compared to what he was earning at the time that was totally reasonable and frankly smart. And he tried talking with Uriah about the reasons he was going to take the offer and that he wanted to stay with TAM which Uriah decided was a no go, which was also fair, but the whining about disloyalty and being a snake was stupid because that offer was huge for a dude who wasn’t being paid substantial money and now got paid to prepare for a meaningful amount which compared to what he had been earning was major and loyal friends and family as Uriah and Cody professed they had been would be happy to have such a major positive provided to a friend.
If you watch the first fight between Cody vs. TJ, Cody was actually winning the fight until he rocked TJ and he got all excited thus becoming reckless.
