Cody is new blood, a killing machine, young, hungry and a very active fighter. He has 8 fights where Dom has had 3 in the past 2 years. Experience in the Octagon regardless of rankings is priceless. He knows how to move in there... and yes that's Dom's biggest strength, but he hasn't fought a sniper like Cody in years.
I predict a T/KO finish for Cody and Dom goes to dip like he does.

Not that he can't catch Dom, he's been proven hittable and with Cody that could be enough, but I rarely get on the puncher's chance vs. the higher all around skillset with WAY more options.

Because he's smart enough to understand that if he wants to make some money he needs to jump into the promotion game too? He doesn't want to sit back and be Mighty Mouse where everyone says he's the #1 p4p fighter on the planet but no one wants to watch him fight so he's making an attempt to spice up his fights. Sadly, the only way to spice up fights in MMA is to create grudges. Sadly the bulk of MMA fans that actually make a difference financially could care less about talent. So if Dom wants to up his slice of the pie a bit, he needs to "be mean" to his opponent in the build-up. It's not going to help him a lot because casual MMA fans are stupid, but it'll give him that little extra boost, that's for sure.
Dom's got one of the best "fight minds" in the business. He understands fighting better than 99% of the guys in the UFC and all the "experts" in MMA media. He's got such a unique style with so many layers to everything he does in the cage, that just because he "doesn't finish, bruh" people totally miss out on. I would rather watch a 12 round Cruz fight with no finish over 12 heavyweight 1-rounders with brutal knockouts any day of the week.
As for respect, how the hell can someone love this sport and have an ounce of disrespect for a guy who, created his own style of fighting instead of just doing what they all do, dominated a division, got back-to-back-to-back career ending injuries in his prime, overcame that **** and came back even better without losing a step? He's easily one of the hardest workers in the sport too. I can guarantee that if all those "no one works as hard as me guys" spent a training camp with Dominick they'd see they're amateurs in comparison.
Love him or hate him, you have to respect him.
