The difference is that Cody absolutely earned it. He knocked out all but one guy in his run to the belt, in a weight class that is not known for heavy hands. And then he absolutely styled on the guy who at that time (and still even is arguably now) the Bantam GOAT.
Carla's first fight in the UFC was for the belt against a very young and green Rose. honestly Carla's last run to the belt was more impressive, she had a string of good victories. It was the title fight itself that was the disappointment. And I don't think that can be put on Carla, she attempted 11 takedowns and only threw 4 less strikes than Rose.
What can you do when someone doesn't want to fight? When they refuse to risk absolutely anything? I understand applying pressure (and Carla did), but it's supposed to be two people fighting and it's such a massive risk to telegraph from that far out because your opponent doesn't want to fight. So yes, the win is not impressive, but I don't think it's that straight forward.

Other dude? You mean the guy who is arguably the Bantam weight GOAT? That "other dude"?

This is my favorite fight. If only he used that head mooment more often. But usually against people who hit harder than Dom he doesn't do this and he just trades.
It was weird because Dom kept talking about how emotional Cody was, basically talking about how stupid he is. And this was absolutely surgical. I guess it was just that dream matchup, but part of me hopes to see him fight like that again every single fight.

Wait, that was over 40 years ago... I know trees last in water, but that long? How long is it estimated they will remain before decomposing? Looking at pictures it looks like they aren't decomposing at all some how.

What does that have to do with this post? Or anything for that matter?
