Garbrandt throwing a lot of kicks out there early. Munhoz counters a 1-2 with a lowkick. #UFC235

Rogan pointed out Garbrandt is 27 and has room to grow. But if your chin is compromised your chronological age is irrelevant. And if you don't have fight IQ, your age is irrelevant. So, yeah.

Why Cody, why?! That was exactly what he needed to avoid. Standing in the pocket and trading is a recipe for disaster. #UFC235

Cody wanted an “easy” fight. Texting me about “easy money” and I told him to focus on Pedro bc he is a TUF mother funker! I’m so pumped right now! Not bc Cody lost, but bc of the division! It’s exciting AF right now! #UFC235 #ImREADY!!
