It’s a bummer to see Cody get caught up slugging. Dude has good technical boxing

Well, offensively powerful but defensively questionable pretty much sums up Cody’s performance. Great job by Munhoz finding calm in the storm

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