It was a bad matchup for Dom at the time and Cody rose to the occasion that night.
the fight was still really close, even though people ignore that. Cody was rushed to the title and hit the jackpot.
I was saying this 5 years ago
He never actually had to fight and grow into the BW division, he got rushed to the top because of star potential. Sadly he is a very good fighter, but he took two bad beatings by a pos named dillashaw. It’s hard to recover from that shit, knowing money was taken from your family because this lying pos cheated and put irreversible damage on you.
Going down in weight and leaving the division where he reached the pinnacle is a sign of weakness, it hardly ever works out. He just had a KO of the year contender at BW not long ago, buck up and rebuild your standing in the BW division, all that time getting down to Flyweight and it all ends within a few minutes. This will be his toughest test mentally, I wish him all the best.
