TJ is just better than barao, it pisses me off to admit because i was for barao. if barao wanna beat him one day he will to improve his speed, his power and his takedown, or try to chamge his trainers
Yes I agree with you, TJ improved a lot in the last years and now he is the real No.1 but I would like to see him against Faber or Bibiano Fernandes (OneFC)
