I wish you were right but I don't know. Dom has a great carer ahead of him in commentating. he's so calm, and knowledgeable, and his flow is easy to listen to. I don't see him going back after the way Cody dominated him it bums me out. Dom has always been one of my favs
John Thompson Well, I get where you’re coming from. What you failed to realize is that Dominic did not fight like Dominic Cruz in the Cody fight.He kept pressing and pressing while constantly getting countered and never made the proper or any adjustments in that contest. The Dominic Cruz that you remember will be back,the question then becomes how does his chin respond at this age after getting molly whopped repeatedly by a heavy hitter? Only time will tell.
Huge fan of both Rich and Dom and, Dom really did kill it here, but you can clearly see here the difference in general knowledge of the fight game between mainstream sports media (Rich) versus the MMA media (Dom)....this is a huge dilemma that MMA is going through, and will continue to go through, while it is becoming more and more mainstream.
Agreed. A big thing I notice is all these 'Proper' radio or t.v show segments, keep saying 'The MMA'. I have never heard anyone else call it that, so it's a wierd thing they have latched on to. It reminds me of my parents saying 'Don't let us catch you doing 'The drugs''. These guys know how to present themselves well and use the time correctly but I feel they really fall short with even doing basic research of what they will be discussing with thier guests. Cruz and Rogan are some of the only ones keeping it real currently who actually know how to articulate thier thoughts properly. Love them or hate them, they are sort of putting the mainstream media to shame.
"im really not worried about any hostile from you...you got about one good spear tackle in you"...and then broke down why with the coffee and all lmfaooo Dom a savage
This is Way after the fight but it's fun to hear Dominic put an near perfect analysis of the fight. Dom is so well spoken and spot on 90% of the time. He has a long career on the mic well after he stops fighting.
He is 1. Very handsome 2. Very well spoken. 3. Very smart and well versed in every aspect in MMA. Plus he has a GTR, and he's very respectful. He's mostly very handsome. 😍 ahhhh. And has nice style 👌🏻
"We all doubted Conor" Love you Dom but speak for yourself. I knew this guy was going to be Champ the first time i saw him in the Octagon against Buchinger in CageRage
I agree with pretty much everything he says. Aside from him missing the fact that there's various types of boxers. Boxers, brawlers, sluggers, counter punchers, switch hitters. The reason these guys are the best is because this is what it's evolved to! Mcgregor isn't going to go in there and teach us something new about boxing. Boxing has been around near on centuries. All these MMA techniques you speak of are good for MMA. Boxers have none of the concerns you mentioned, takedowns, kicks etc. So yeah the way they think about it is different to a boxer... because they're not boxing. How exactly is that a positive for Mcgregor?
cruz is a top guy! sparring is about learning. fools always try to beat you. if I ever cought someone id stop and try to tell them what theyre doing wrong.
15:53 I love Dom's analysis, but man who was he supposed to lose to? He's never been given guys he was supposed to lose to. The only guy people thought he'd maybe lose to was Jose Aldo. I don't even think Nate Diaz was a ranked fighter going into their first fight.
Graning21 not us. Majority of mma "experts" and fighters said he would lose to poirier, chad, Aldo, Nate (2nd fight) and Alvarez... You can check lol. Everything is on the record
Love all the shit Dom is talking. He's one of my all time favorites. but give me a break dude. Conor lost only two fights ago to a boxing Nate Diaz. Nate had him so frustrated and dazed from strikes he turned into a panic wrestler and literally GAVE UP. Floyd is going to embarrass him.... easily.
John Thompson Stop reaching... You cant compare a 6ft 200lb Nate Diaz to a 155lb frail Floyd.. Conor was (obviously) gased from lugging Nate around, not to mention Nate is a beast that can take enormous amounts damage and keep going. It was a desperation move when Conor shot in on Diaz. Nate clearly was the better guy that night. However, Conor did more prep for the 2nd fight, and avenged his loss. Frail Floyd won't be able to sustain the abuse that Conor is going to be dealing lol
John Thompson plus when ur fighting nate diaz even if he's standing up with you. you still have to worry about him kicking or taking you down his ground game is legit also. totally different then just fighting in a boxing ring
Dom has gone so far past rogan in commentary its crazy, rogan used to be a big deal in the commentary team, now he finds himself in goldies shoes, oh the irony
Many people don't know Mc Gregor's story, WTF??!! It's quite the opposite - many people don't know Mayweather's story and genuinely don't give a shit. Conor is global, stop with this fairy tale about this local celebrity Floyd
I'd listen to dom all day long
Pause
Indeed- I would PAY for his analysis
wayne kavanagh me too
Cruz is 5'8", close enough though
Dominic Cruz is a stellar analyst and commentator.
Can't wait to see Cruz compete again, his style is so captivating.
Glurp8162 check out the UA-cam video comparing Dom to Willie Pep the boxer. (Same video Kenny Florian was busted for plagiarizing)
I wish you were right but I don't know. Dom has a great carer ahead of him in commentating. he's so calm, and knowledgeable, and his flow is easy to listen to. I don't see him going back after the way Cody dominated him
it bums me out. Dom has always been one of my favs
He has got the highest fight IQ of anyone that I've ever seen. The way that everything that he does is so calculated is amazing to me.
John Thompson
Well,
I get where you’re coming from.
What you failed to realize is that Dominic did not fight like Dominic Cruz in the Cody fight.He kept pressing and pressing while constantly getting countered and never made the proper or any adjustments in that contest.
The Dominic Cruz that you remember will be back,the question then becomes how does his chin respond at this age after getting molly whopped repeatedly by a heavy hitter?
Only time will tell.
John Thompson He'll be back the only thing stopping him are his injuries.
D.Cruz is 1 of the smartest mma analysts hands down and most importantly he doesn't show bias
Dom cruz stays being the man
J Isbister the Pauli malingaggi of mma! Be great if it was both of them commentating on the fight
Dominick Cruz is such a brilliant guy
i'm a huge dominick fan... he is simply amazing
Cruz is incredible
dom cruz is the best to do it in all ways he is a true champion . he is no JOKE !!!!!!!!!
For real. Dom lost his belt, but gained MAD respect from fans for how he took the loss. Always classy.
I really hope dom gets his belt back. I love this guy
Dom always killing it
Hayden Cochrane smartest guy in any contact sport, so precise and unbiased this is the best breakdown of the fight I've heard
Huge fan of both Rich and Dom and, Dom really did kill it here, but you can clearly see here the difference in general knowledge of the fight game between mainstream sports media (Rich) versus the MMA media (Dom)....this is a huge dilemma that MMA is going through, and will continue to go through, while it is becoming more and more mainstream.

THE DOMINATOR.
His response @1:31 is absolutely brilliant. Completely shut down the interviewer.
So smart 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏼teamCruz
Not crazy about Cruz personally but I have to give him props for his ability to break down the analytics and be so eloquent speaking the truth.
Cruz should start his own podcast. I'd pay $ to hear this guy
you can't not like Cruz, smart as heck breaking down fights & one of the best to ever step foot inside the octagon
“...The president is doing worse than this right now.” Dom for the gold!
Deporting your illegal cousins isn't worse for the Country. Keep crying, 7 more years #MAGA 🇺🇸
Dominick is so sharp and articulate. Great analyst skills.
Dom was right with his conor mayweather prediction! Its close to exactly what happened durring the fight.. genius
Even when he's not officially the champ, I can't help but still think of him as the champ
Cruz is the best analyst in the business.
domimick cruz is such a well spoken guy.
Such a huge investment for the ufc in this dude.
He's got brains and skills.
Dom is an analytic master, not only in combat sports but life.
good interview from dom as usual.
"im really not worried about any hostile from you...you got about one good spear tackle in you"...and then broke down why with the coffee and all lmfaooo Dom a savage

And has nice style 👌🏻
this guy not only a great fighter but also really smart !
Pleasant interview. Much appreciated
Cruz is one of the best analysts in the game
Dom needs a podcast
Dom needs his own podcast
Great analysis from Cruz.
Please, give us a DJ Cruz rematch for interim belt or not, I would fucking love to see them go at it again.
Yaqoub Alshatti Dj vs Tj is an even better fight
Boring interviewer, but great interviewee
Love you dom
Dom should have his own podcast
One of the smartest dudes in MMA
Dom should start a podcast
Dominick is so Incredible. #Legend
Love or hate him he knows fighting. He's excellent when he calls the fights as well.
Dom is a wise guy! Love his commentary and perspective on things
Dom is such an intelligent guy
Thatta boy Dom! #Honesty
Dom should become a politician. I believe every damn thing he says
DOM is so classy- I wish I could message him directly and tell him how fucking dope we think he is...
Rich is looking more and more like Louis CK
Dom is the most intelligent fighter in combats sports (mma,boxing,etc)
MMA will dominate the world of combat sports. Boxing is just a small part of MMA.
6:40
Dom was lowkey getting a little heated.
holy shit...Dom's breakdown were on point 😰😮
Baby shark
Interlaced video in 2017? I'm having flashbacks... Love Dom though!
Dom is the best analyst at the momment, if i was a sucessfull fighter i would pay millions to him coach me!
@ 2:43 cruz says "double penetration" and rich says "mmmmm"
"We all doubted Conor" Love you Dom but speak for yourself. I knew this guy was going to be Champ the first time i saw him in the Octagon against Buchinger in CageRage
Dom was kinda right on the money with the mcgregor fight
floyd finishes conor within 4 rounds would be my prediction
He does break it done well tbf
rich is me in another dimension
Dom is the fukcing man ! champ or not he will always be the fucking man!
I AGREE IT IS ALL ABOUT THE DOUBLE PENETRATION 😂😂😂
I agree with pretty much everything he says. Aside from him missing the fact that there's various types of boxers. Boxers, brawlers, sluggers, counter punchers, switch hitters. The reason these guys are the best is because this is what it's evolved to! Mcgregor isn't going to go in there and teach us something new about boxing. Boxing has been around near on centuries.

How exactly is that a positive for Mcgregor?
Team Cruz baby
Dam this man is accurate
Dom tries to speak eloquently but hesitates when he wants to say big words.
smart and interesting dude
"there's this double penetration" -Dom
Dom is a don
Wow he predicted it round 3
I wanna smoke a J wit my nigga Cruz n chop up sum game.
cruz is a top guy! sparring is about learning. fools always try to beat you. if I ever cought someone id stop and try to tell them what theyre doing wrong.
Cruz is a fantastic analyst. Next level above Rogan. But the fella has to work on being chillin out a bit, lol
Wait what show is Dom on? 😂 interviewer has no idea what Dom is talking about! He just hears wa wa wa wa wa
what is boxing not hugging
fucking spot on dom.....real god....:)
He is like a little chris hemsworth
"double penetration" "hmmmmmmm" LOL
rich faking this entire conversation lol
15:53 I love Dom's analysis, but man who was he supposed to lose to? He's never been given guys he was supposed to lose to. The only guy people thought he'd maybe lose to was Jose Aldo. I don't even think Nate Diaz was a ranked fighter going into their first fight.
jose aldo, eddie alvarez, nate diaz the second time
Max Halloway, Dustin Poirier, Chad Mendes, Jose Aldo, 2nd Diaz fight, Eddie Alvarez
Graning21 like 70% of his ufc fights lol
Bee Dee Other than Aldo, you really believe he was "supposed to" lose to all those guys?
Graning21 not us. Majority of mma "experts" and fighters said he would lose to poirier, chad, Aldo, Nate (2nd fight) and Alvarez...
You can check lol. Everything is on the record
If you think Ronda Rousey was the greatest female fighter, than Conor is one of them :D
The best
CruZ is my male crush
conor won't be able to hold how he wants to. he'll just get points deducted.
Conner has zero chance. There are so many boxers that would destroy Conner.
holy shit- can DOM do everything???
Love all the shit Dom is talking. He's one of my all time favorites. but give me a break dude. Conor lost only two fights ago to a boxing Nate Diaz. Nate had him so frustrated and dazed from strikes he turned into a panic wrestler and literally GAVE UP.
Floyd is going to embarrass him.... easily.

What's with that shirt he he
Hahaha the carnival act that is mr trump.... Dom is totally right lol
Dom has gone so far past rogan in commentary its crazy, rogan used to be a big deal in the commentary team, now he finds himself in goldies shoes, oh the irony
Rich Eisen is annoying
Big difference fighting at 154 vs 170# which he's had never fought at before... 49 - 1
Many people don't know Mc Gregor's story, WTF??!! It's quite the opposite - many people don't know Mayweather's story and genuinely don't give a shit. Conor is global, stop with this fairy tale about this local celebrity Floyd
ok cruz so a mma fighter is gona rewrite a sport that is older then slice bread...
Dom needs a podcast
