[@event201plandemicyoutubese2]

Really want to know who is the pathological liar Cody or Tj?

[@liammacauley6994]

Reptilian Monk same hahahaha, one of them has to be lying through their teeth

[@miken7862]

Whos more likely to lie? A dense simple minded person, or a sly ambitious one?

[@Blameli]

i get the feeling that the liar is Urijah Faber. And Cody cant think for himself so he believes everything his coach and mentor tells him.

[@JM-ie5bp]

Eli Atchley ...That sounds about right.

[@KRISTIANSMILJANIC]

James Freeman the thing is that the video probably exists as people like Matt Serra has seen it. Although it wasn't a knockout, just a flash knockdown.

[@jayjsilva765]

You can tell that the stories about this guy are true. Plus there’s footage. He’s a dirty fighter and a weird guy.

[@SkylineOwnz]

Cody's last fight against Dom was incredible.

[@colleennutting1044]

Cody just got to cocky with tj

[@CalloPasta]

@@colleennutting1044 no. He got beat. Finished. Decisively. TWICE LOL

[@KingJohnTX]

What he's saying makes sense though, if he was so dangerous and hurt people on purpose, why would TAM be so salty at him training somewhere else?

[@jasonmitchell6720]

King John my thoughts exactly

[@mansoura6895]

Because they made him a champ left as soon as he got the belt.

[@789raiden]

Mansour Al-Ansari but cody is bragging about the video of him knocking out TJ in sparring which we haven't seen yet

[@jasonmitchell6720]

Mansour Al-Ansari I understand where Urijah is coming from too. If I was him I would be pissed also. Whole situation sucks. Hopefully after the fight things will be dead

[@melancholy5329]

that point tj made is irrelevant, they brought him up and treated him like family, if he was as bad as they say he was to his training partners maybe they would try to work on fixing those issues, but to see a fellow brother of theirs backstab and leave the team must be tough no matter what

[@3klipze]

When TJ talks I just hear hissing for some reason.

[@gimme_da_mili3725]

Sean Green was that meant to be funny ?

[@orlandobrown9778]

We have a snake 🐍 and a lizard 🦎 on the same card at the garden... coincidence?

[@melancholy5329]

not to mention a thug rose

[@staylit4890]

Lizard?

[@drdoom7457]

Reptilians confirmed

[@dromingo6881]

😂🤣

[@zachlovescats95]

who was the lizard

[@dennissiver9343]

TJ: "You're a microwave meal!" "I'm a home cooked meal" Cody: YEAHHHHHHHH. YEAHHHHHHHHH Uriah: YO FORM VOLTRON!!!

[@UFCFan28]

Hey, atleast you tried.

[@thenotoriouscardio1240]

Kid Dynamite. Well he got more likes than you so he tried and succeeded 😂😂😂

[@drillmusicordie2465]

L

[@Vetwithapet]

Who's here after TJ tested positive?

[@dfgntzfjgyhmghbndfnghcmsfr1089]

KimberWarri0r Me.

[@stuartlittle3048]

And you know what's even more crazy? Chris was 5'11 and he was bantamweight. TJ took out the biggest threat in his division before he even hit his prime.

[@wits729]

8:55

[@quentingross8101]

Don't know who wins but whoever loses will be so crushed emotionally and their ego. My god, I almost don't want it to happen because of it

[@Shockingbeard]

Quentin Gross if it was a KO I agree, but a decision will be less severe

[@quentingross8101]

Shockingbeard true let the best man win

[@melancholy5329]

cody needs the reality check, up tj

[@shonthebonbon]

called it

[@TheItalianGentleman2394]

You know I'm starting to be more in favor of TJ in this whole situation there's some things that are not adding up I don't think anyone would allow someone to remain on a team if they were needing people in the back of the head you know as a person who does kickboxing we've all gone a little overboard when it comes to sparring it happens and at least he was able to admit it so I don't know it seems like Team Alpha Male has really tried to get in dillashaw's head and it isn't working but we will see on Fight Night it is going to be a great fight I'm really excited about this and I'm looking forward to it more than the GSP vs Michael Bisping fight

[@wega3]

How crazy, crazy stupid wrong you were about the whole TJ thing

[@violenttfashion]

Mike Frisinger L

[@mcr08901]

Straight L smh

[@javierleyva8896]

Should’ve invited him months ago

[@fredrikandersson3885]

he was hard to find in all that grass.

[@Hades-li6br]

fredrik andersson Cody is hard to find too. I hear he’s still looking for his father. He’s always busy with that.....

[@dhsu04]

Of course this is the main course! Regardless of the level of intelligence possess by either TJ or Cody, they can fight. This is going to be very technical striking match-up with one of them going to sleep.

[@doglips569]

Not only do I hope Cody wins by KO, I hope his KO is so vicious it retires TJ.

[@qigong1001]

Holdsworth responds "No one ended my career!! You don't know what you're talking about." Its on his twitter. Cody is the real snake.

[@ReTethered]

Damn i forgot Holdsworth was in the UFC. His last match was in 2014. Why exactly is that?

[@CaptainThrowed]

Regardless of whose side you’re on, this is one hell of a matchup. TJ is as solid as they come and has more experience against top competition but Cody just put on an absolutely flawless performance vs Cruz.

[@blackirish461]

Bisping,Dillashaw and Rose

[@MrPyschonoob]

Agree

[@meezy9022]

You're a athlete not a fighter has been said numerous times Ariel. Get it together little mermaid.

[@DutchStyleBlacclouDs]

These titles highlight the fighter well

[@mightymouse1361]

I believe that tj did ped s and the knee to the back of the head thing definately seems possible

[@YaBoiKennyG]

And all of that is true lmao. Good look bro

[@bileductable]

*“So you’re telling me I’m kneeing people in the back of the head in between rounds and ruining their careers, but you want me to stay on your team?"* --- Exactly what I've been thinking this whole time. Urijah & Cody's story stinks

[@omarbabakarkhail]

There is footage of him being dirty, see this for instance. That is as dirty as it gets. kzbin.info/www/bejne/baS5pXqwZq6oiq8

[@sichenghao3747]

Didn't believe Cody for a second, MMA sparring has always be less intense than boxing

[@Jason38914]

So either Cody and Urjah are lying or Tj is lying..

[@robertunsworth2212]

Dont believe anything this guy says

[@jeffstahrify]

I hate how he keeps sayin my belt back

[@cookquint]

Jeff stahr it was his belt lol

[@kusheen...]

Cheap shot or not maybe we will never know. What i do know is concussions arent good, but to say your career was ruined because of one concussion is hard to believe. Lots of fighters/atheletes get concussions multiple times even and heal up and continue successfuly in their career.

[@roknkawk]

He needs to shut up about DJ

[@adamash8994]

TJ by Decision!

[@KevinHernandez-qz8sb]

TJ by TKO. Let's go round 4. 🤔

[@juanito3821]

If it’s decision it’s def going to Cody

[@GeneralHarissa]

Cody by Anaconda choke , KILL THE SNAKE !

[@UFCFan28]

Juan E If its Dec it’ll go to TJ. Cody can only ko him

[@Robloxgg65]

🐍>💔

[@419LOVE]

A snake is greater than a heartbreak?

[@jrdudedj]

TJ is becoming known for being a bully. That's the kind of stuff that should be handled outside of "sport". Because we don't need full grown boys running around throwing tantrums unchecked.

[@loveforthe90s]

TJ is gonna be toast at the garden

[@jaxteller7920]

nice prediction hahahaha

[@loveforthe90s]

Jax Teller Dude, Cody threw the fight to have more time for his son. He wanted to lose.

[@jaxteller7920]

LMFAO

[@jaxteller7920]

Not sure if you're just messing around, but either way thanks for the chuckle :)

[@user-nd6md4pt8g]

why are we considered fans and not viewers ? I've never understood that

[@santiagomacahilas2346]

I guess Conor was right about TJ cause nobody is backing up TJ you think if he was talking the truth somebody would step up and make it more clear as to what actually happened

[@Lucasdiasmma]

TJ have for sure more skills and more weapons...

[@1994Trill]

If tj did to me what he did to him, he would have AT LEAST been stabbed.

[@blaze556922]

I don't hate TJ but I don't like him and want Cody to win. Both are great fighters but only one is a decent person.

[@jackjon7763]

Yautja Prime I would argue the opposite only because of the inconsistency of TAMs story. It’s a little too loose and contradictory for me.

[@blaze556922]

jack jon that is the opposite of deductive reasoning. when you have one person saying a story that changes and you have dozens of people whose stories don't change. It is clear who is lying. Not even rain will defend TJ's actions. He knows what happened was completely unprofessional and downright cowardice. There is not one single person going to bat for him for a reason. He's wrong

[@hl9009]

why is tj a bad person?

[@Gs-kg6ce]

Anyone else just get a bad vibe from tj?

[@alexjoseph4665]

G P No

[@AlexD-oh8sb]

G P yes and he's unloyal slowly ditching Duane and recruiting fighters from their gyms to leave their good teams, he needs to stick to one place could've brought people with Duane and invested in his own gym for mma thats part of Duanes Bang Muay thai

[@damvid21]

I cannot wait for this fight.

[@Jor_dan.]

If it goes to a decision, I think TJ gets it.. If there's a stoppage, I think Cody gets it.. Either way I love this fight! 👊

[@789raiden]

didn't holdsworth already say it wasn't on purpose or TJ's fault?

[@johnevans4890]

If tj can stay composed he stands a chance. But it should be a badass fight. Both great fighters.

[@johnevans4890]

Stands a better chance*

[@Jeremyramone]

sounds very guilty and a bit punch drunk

[@ThePaull3d]

The real Main Event.

[@sketchison4005]

Watch... Cody Round 2 KO.

[@laOrzy]

+premierconstrictors I say it's tied 1-1 going into the third round also

[@jaxteller7920]

Nice one hahaha

[@elmakiogr8097]

This is the most expected fight beause it can really go bothways,great fighters,different styles and hate each other, i can not think anything better. They both want that win

[@droopmountain6510]

Ariel, you gotta get a good connection.

[@MMADemon]

Anyone know if that TJ KO video was released that gardbrandt mentioned?

[@419LOVE]

It was never released, because it most likely never happened.

[@smd8657]

The fruits of your labor. Matt Serra said he seen it

[@MMADemon]

smd I wonder if he'll ever make it public

[@smd8657]

MMA Demon probably not. It's from sparring. I remember Cody saying that the stuff that happens in sparring should stay there. I don't think he's going to release it if their is a video. I saw somewhere that tmz offered him money for the video

[@MMADemon]

wow pretty respectable in his part!

TJ by TKO. It's going to be a head kick and Cody will get knock down and then TJ will follow him on the ground and some more punches and the fight will be stopped.

Holdsworth himself has stated it didn't happen. Continuing to bring it up is just a pathetic move on TAM's part

[@danielseddon6138]

Alan Jouban true but TJ ain’t no Cruze

[@dentalfloss7523]

Daniel Seddon cruz is actually a terrible striker... all of his strikimg revolves around how he enters and ezits the pocket. His strikes are loopy and leavea his hands down in the pocket. Tj is a much better technical striker. Imo
