I feel it for Cody. The shittest feeling when u lose a fight. Also the best when u win #ufc269

Apparently anyone who eats an overhand bomb from a professionally trained fighter and drops has “no-chin”. ♂️ People act like taking punches to the jaw is a normal thing humans should be able to do without repercussions. Lol
