Hello The Cody fans, welcome to the first edition of The Cody is says in a very long time. I just had to get back on here and blog, especially what has been going on in the UFC as of late. You know being a new daddy, working your ass off, kind of takes you away from the good stuff like posting videos and blogs. But I am here to post a blog just to entertain those of you who still want to read them.
So a couple of weeks ago was perhaps the biggest (by numbers) UFC pay per view in history, in UFC 196. In the main event the UFC golden boy Conor McGregor took on one of The Cody's favorite fighters Nate Diaz and in the co-main event Holly Holm defended her title against The Cody's favorite female fighter, my future wife (sorry Bryan) Miesha Tate. Both fights went totally my way, was very excited. But I am not here talk about the fights themselves, what I really want to talk about is the aftermath. First off, I am also a big fan of McGregor and have a lot of respect for him for taking a fight against arguably his toughest opponent he has ever fought (Fuck you Aldo fans) on short notice way outside his weight class. People have jumped way off his bandwagon and I don't understand why, I mean he stepped up and fought and that is what a real fighter does. I think he will be king at 145 for a very long time. Lightweight maybe in his future, but I do not think Welterweight should be.
But now let's talk about my boy Nate Diaz, perhaps the biggest win of his career. Where does he go from here? I do not think he should get a lightweight title shot (although I wouldn't argue if he did) but I hear that he may get a Welterweight title shot against Lawler. I would LOVE to see that fight, for many years now I have wanted to see Nick Diaz and Robbie Lawler rematch, I guess having Nick's little brother fight is as close as we may get to see it. I think it would be a competitive fight, and I think it is something that the fans want to see. I heard that Lawler is supposed to be taking on Woodley, but I don't think Woodley deserves it. I don't know I guess we will see what happens. But I think Nate deserves a big fight regardless. IF he goes back to Lightweight, he should fight Eddie Alvarez or the winner of Ferguson/Khabib (yeah I am not even going to try and spell his last name) I just hope the UFC stops putting Nate Diaz so far under the radar now, give him the respect he deserves and show him that respect in who they give him next.
Now, I want to talk about the after math of the Holm/Tate fight, because I am absolutely disgusted. So Dana White has said that Ronda Rousey will fight Miesha Tate for the Women's bantamweight tittle. Dana White is a complete bitch for that move. And Rousey is a complete and utter pussy ass bitch for accepting the fight. Here is why. The only reason Dana gave Rousey that show was because he truly believes Rousey will defeat Tate (cuz she has twice before) so he can have his golden goose in the lime light again. I don't give a fuck what any one says, if you are a TRUE fighter, and you dominated in your sport for so long and then that one person comes along and kicks your ass. As a fighter, all you want is that rematch. You don't want to fight anyone else until you correct that wrong. Holly Holm didn't just get a fluke knock out of Ronda, she dominated her. Ronda if she was a true champion will say fuck the belt and fight Holm first. So explain this to me, Ronda has said that she didnt want to return until toward the end of the year after the UFC 200 plans fell through. But now, all of sudden Miesha has the belt, Ronda is like "oh yeah I want to fight now" like fuck that walking talking menstrual cycle. She is a fucking pussy, because she knows that Miesha is an easier fight. Now, I love Miesha, like I said future wife here. But she is an easier match up for Ronda than Holm because Miesha is a grappler first. The thing that kept biting Miesha in the ass when she fought Ronda was that Miesha would grapple with Ronda, and Ronda being the judo expert would always use her momentum against her to put her on back. It happened in both fights, and she got armbared. And as much as Miesha has improved, I hate to say it, but I think Ronda would beat her again. Simply because I think Miesha instead of employing the Holly Holm game plan (stay on the outside of Ronda at all times) She will use her instincts and grapple, get thrown over and over, and submitted or lose a decision. I know it, Dana knows it, Ronda knows it. That is why this fight was made and it makes me sick. You are also screwing over a VERY deserving fighter in Amanda Nunes, who should get the next title shot IF you weren't giving Holly a rematch. I am just kind of disgusted by this situation. Ronda you are forever a pussy if you accept this fight, and I don't care if you beat Miesha and go on to regain glory as the most dominant female fighter in MMA history. I will always look at you as a coward who couldn't face her demons, and fight the REAL fight in Holly Holm.
Alright, now that's out of the way. Here are some of my closing thoughts. I am very excited for Nick Diaz's return in August. I really want to see him fight Carlos Condit again, correct that wrong. Or if for some reason Lawler is not the champion any more, fight him. But knowing the UFC, they will probably give him a guy who will just put him on his back over n over like Johnny Hendricks or something. Also, I swear to God if Jon Jones & Chris Weidman do not regain their belts from those AKA bitches, I am going to lose my shit. Cormier is a flash in the pan who needs to get derailed, Luke Rockhold is the luckiest fucking bastard in MMA history (who I still think did NOT beat Jacare). The judges love to screw over fighters who fight Bisping in England huh? Anderson Silva won that fight. The last 3 rounds were his bar none, give me a break. Speaking of Anderson, I really want to see a rematch between him and Vitor Belfort, that will be a hell of a fight. If Georges St. Pierre comes back, PLEASE do not let it be against Donald Cerrone. I love Cowboy but, he would lose that fight. I want to see an exciting fight for his return, like Robbie Lawler or Matt Brown. My final thought is I am still waiting on the UFC to do a tournament. You really have to. I mean because some of your divisions are dying. Heavyweight & Light-Heavyweight really do not have a lot of top guys. With JDS on a decline now, outside of Cain, Werdum, Miocic and Overeem. Who do you have? Same thing at 205. Jones, Cormier, Rumble and Gustaffson. No one else. You have to get people excited about those divisions again, and make an 8 man tournament for a title shot or for the belt itself. Please.
The End.
