gently caress. I'm getting a bad feeling because of the hype that Joe is pouring onto DJ. It's reminding me of him crying about Ronda Rousey being some kind of invincible superhuman saint right before she had her head kicked off.

Have no fear - he will retire undefeated

He's not undefeated, although I think if he was training full time instead of working in a warehouse he beats Cruz back in the day.

Cejudo might as well use his two free eyepokes and free nutshot while he still can.

Yeah the back of his left knee was bright red very early, possibly before any kick landed near it (I didn't notice if it was like that before the first round began).

Looked like he wasn't able to lift his left leg as high as he was expecting maybe? Because of the knee thing?

At the very least Cejudo didn't get embarrassed in a couple of minutes this time and with a weird hosed up leg

How crazy would it be if a diminished Cejudo somehow won this though? It'd at least be interesting for the division.

They have come very close to a fight-ruining accidental head clash three times now.

Automatic rematches are dumb as heck with a definitive stoppage, but if anyone has earned it, DJ has. That said, Dana wants to launch him into the sun, so who knows

I can hear you
I've had that ankle thing happen when one of my nerves in my leg has gone dead or whatever, the foot just doesn't lift right so it drags a little. Its normally an automatic reflex, so when it stops working it feels real weird.
