Prime Cody Was A Joy To Watch

[markantony20]

Was watching some of Cody’s fights from his heyday and he was SO fun to watch.


Yeah his personality was that of Scrappy Doo mixed with a frat bro but in the cage the dude was a monster with pretty damn good boxing and nasty KO power.

And of course his performance against Dom is still one of the best performances by a challenger in a title fight I’ve seen.

I say we give some love to No Love

Didn't give Cody much of a chance against Cruz.
Cody's defense and offense was great - his dance moves (with no music) IN the fight was impressive AF.

Yeah I agree. Damn he schooled Cruz though, it made me wonder why no one else could do something similar.

Can’t get freaking gifs to load

Cody is a fucking mage bro he comes in with his spells of invisibility undetected

its funny he got a lot of hate, but then we all found out he was the good guy and tj was a seasoned villain all along

sad that cheatershaw contributed so much to cody's fall.

He fought pretty much cans en route to his title shot. His performance against Dom was great, but also consider he'd been training to fight Dom basically his whole career. The whole Alpha male camp was basically geared towards beating Dom for about 6 or 7 years. shrug.

I love CoGar he’s a real man’s Manlet.. lol
Too bad the stripper left him, he’s never been the same
Hope he can get back on track

The real shame was his back problems. He was never the same after he had surgery. He came back so much more stiff imo.

Almeida and Mizugaki were quality wins and performances. People were touring Thomas as the future contender best prospect in the division, he was ranked and favorite. Mizugaki was a ranked staple and vet. Cody KOd both in under a round combined.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Cody went from unranked to champ in a calendar year. I think only Alex Pereira has done that in recent history.

January 2016 - Cody unranked
June 2016 - Cody gets ranked after beating Almeida
December 2016 - Cody becomes champ after dethroning Dom

there are many better fighters than cody. cruz is probably better than cody overall, pound-for-pound, prime-for-prime.

…but for 25 minutes, cody was the best bw of all time. his performance in that fight is unmatched at bw.

 

[itrainufcbro]

Facts. From when he entered the ufc thru the ascuncao fight he was arguably the most exciting fighter to watch.

 

[Fight Professor]

Cody found a way to exploit Cruz' boxing weaknesses and was not confused by the bouncing. It was a stylistic match up thing.

that too but TJ did no favors for his chin
