Please make DJ fight the winner of the ME and close his division up, nobody wants to watch that division honestly, whats the point when there is no competition ... if Cejudo lasts more than 1.5 rounds against him I'd be heavily surprised ... last time it was like 2 minutes till he got completely destroyed and he just got heavily outskilled

yes, and either cody garbart or tj dillashaw should go down, not dj up.

Hate to admit it but its true. Even among the more hardcore fans, people don't care. Close the 125, and open a new one (like a 165/175)

I dont know why Mighty Mouse bores me so much, he has a very high finishing ratio and there isn't a massive difference in size between him and Cody/Cruz/Dillashaw but I'm actually excited to see this midget brawl (Cody vs TJ), but I couldn't care less about MM.

Yep.

He's like a baby monkey.

cejudo 3-2 imo

awesome fight I whis Cejudo wins this

R1: DJ (clear)
R2: DJ (Cejudo got a TD and was on top for 1 minute or so, but was controlled and did no damage)
R3: DJ (clear; those failed TDs by Cejudo don't mean anything)
R4: Cejudo
R5: DJ (close round)

Demetrious Johnson 4-1, imo. But I'd love to see Henry Cejudo win.

Fuck yeahhhhh

Wow so graceful in defeat. Cejudo completed one of the 2 hardest tasks in mma imo (defeating jones/mm)
