Arlovski 209 shut up. This is the fight that everyone wanted to see. Cody won. He's the new champ, congrats to him. However, Dom is a class act, legend in this game. He took this L like a man and you have to respect that.
Mark Murphy I'd like to see Cody put on some weight and take on Conor cause Conor needs to make him pay for that pushing incident on the ultimate fighter Conor would bust his little punk ass up for putting his grubby little hands on him...... showboating has no room in the ring especially against legendary Champs like Cruz who's been on top for so long he's earned his respect not too many guys keep that belt for too long nowadays if Conor could cut twenty pounds on his huge frame he'd take Cody's belt and we'd know who's the real MAC DADDY is in the sport
@Conor McGregor Dom is still GOAT it's just that bandwagoners(such as yourself) are turning on him right now, same way they did when Conor tapped out. Dom is still one of the greats and he can turn things around still. Cody is great too tho
Yeah you gotta respect the guy after that no one has ever took a L like that not even Conor I understand him now he's just a Real person who speaks what he feels
h2omanz extreme worlds worst fighter , runs around like a damned rooster , doesn't seem to even acknowledge he just got his big mouth slammed - was even looking around at the judges decision thinking they would save him again - I see no fight IQ here , never did - the smarter classier guy ? Cody Garbrant '!!!
Take a look at a real man. I will force my sons in the future to watch this interview and teach them how to be a man like Cruz. Helluva chin on a helluva man.
Samuel Tarawally showing your sons that a loss in life doesnt defy you, its hownyou deal with it & come back, whether its in business or sports , I think its a great piece off advice !!! He's got my respect !!!
King Ashtuhn same i thought cody was just a ko master didnt think he would have a gas tank in 4&5 but geez he got a new fan today, cruz is a champion he will be back
Dom's not talking about the way cody read him like a book, he knew exactly where he was darting. He even pointed to where Dom was trying to Dart after he countered him. Dom got fucked up lmao
@@elijahramos8688 yh dj accomplished more but virtually had no real challenge till 2nd cejudo fight and always avoided big fights vs dillashaw or garbrandt
Che_Borz yea fair play to cody saying he will give a remach in seud of tj lets hope he keeps his word and the ufc does it he is the best bw of all time
Live 4Christ I feel that Cody cheated his way through this fight a little knowing that Dom would be blamed if the fight was boring forcing Cruz to push the pace which isn't his style at all.
No doubt... THIS is how you lose gracefully. You accept the loss, analyze what you did wrong, learn from the experience, respect your opponent's ability and move on. Some (rousey) people (rousey) could (rousey) learn (rousey) from this guy's approach, lol.
Jordan Naish Exactly. You could tell fromthe jump that was his angle. Cruz is a true champ man. Took 2 knockout blows and got up swingin!! lol domis a monster. I give Cody his due credit tho. Nobody has fought Dom that smart
Scramblieggs cody was smarter than a lot of us thought. doesn't rely only on power advantage but tries to be great in all areas. striking, grappling, defense, footwork, mixing it up. Cody fought like a champ
Respect for cruz and conor for reacting like a man to a loss. ( edit ) conor went on to say Pre-fight: "Weight doesn't matter." Post-fight: "It was simply me fighting a heavier man, that's it."
Rubert max conor took the Los like a man ? saying Nate was 3 times bigger than him and 200 pounds heavier. get the fuck out of here with that fake champion . he will end up more worst than Ronda very soon
+Ishaan Rai Conor also said he lost because he was inefficient with his energy, because he ate two breakfasts, because he was injured, because he focused too much on movement training before the fight, because he gained weight too quickly, because it was a short-notice opponent.... and because cheesecake. Cheesecake was my favorite excuse. Even after he 'won' the rematch, he continued to try to convince everyone that Nate Diaz is a heavyweight who cuts a 100lbs to fight down a 170
Some of y'all's infatuation with Conor is very bizarre. No where in this video was Conor mentioned, yet he's somehow brought up in the comments. It never fails lmao
conor took this lost like a man, conor just saying how nate was much bigger he was, and how forget the "inneficient with his energy" bullshit, lmfao, totally fucking different
Kevin Morley #RondaSoreLoserRousey let's keep this hash tag goin She wishes she could have gave a speech like Cruz after his loss at the post conference
if ronda had gone to a legit gym and worked basic boxing she could of at least put her guard up. nunes just gave her the inmafous mtv bully beatdown. it was like joanna lighting up ezparsa.
ozzylaza The fans that hate Cruz will never give him his props. They hate his fighting style & think he is smug so they were waiting for him to lose so they are basking in his defeat.
Respect to Dominick Cruz for not hiding from TJ and Cody like McGregor hiding from Khabib and El Cucuy!!! Definition of a true legend who never ran from anybody!!
Faber is 6 years older than Dom He trained at team alpha male he beat dom in their first fight. dom won the other 2 Cody is 6 years younger than dom. he trains at team alpha male. he beat dom in their first fight...... Just Saying
1234adebayor Same i was a big time Aldo supporter but damn that dude has lost it ! Look at Cruz not one time has he come with bullshit he told it like it was he was the better man tonight end of story not sick, not i twisted my foot last week, i hurt my hand in sparring you name it nothing dude is a real man and i hope Cruz gets back in there soon ! What you think about Cody vs TJ ?
kodey tignor damn dude...you came out swinging like Amanda with that comment ._. But anyways...you do have a point with her coach being an idiot...Ronda needs to take her training somewhere that has WORLD CLASS boxers at least...either the camp where Tyron and Pettis go...or to Stockton with the Diaz brothers...because you can't lie...those potheads have arguably the best stand up game in the UFC around this time...they train with Andre Ward who is a world class boxer himself...and they can probably bring in a women's world ranked fighter to spar with Ronda...or they can spar with her too...but she just needs to get rid of that current coach ASAP...because that coach of hers ain't doing shit for her...the fight with Holly was Ronda's fault...but this one was the coach sugarcoating things for Ronda and telling her she's got better stand up...Ronda doesn't have much stand up...or at least not enough to know what kind of wild punch is coming from Nunes...she also needs to use HER specialty...not try to get out of her own comfort zone...why do that when she KNOWS she hasn't got the skills for that...she tried to stand up but kept getting teed off on because her coach doesn't know wtf he's doing...and you can tell the coach is a dumbass because Ronda didn't Bob or weave AT ALL...she pushed forward stiff and motionless...whenever someone like Conor or Nate moves forward, they keep their jab out...even Conor kept his jab out when fighting Nate and he tagged Nate a few times...but they both know what they're doing thanks to their coaches knowing shit.
Both guys fought well and accepted the decision well. Cody took the win graciously and gave a shout out to that kid that overcame illness. Cruz took the loss well and didn't make excuses. Class acts both of them and I imagine they both respect each other a lot more now.
How can you not respect Cruz, probably one of the most eloquent fighters around, he's clear and concise and delivers his message in a way that is compelling.
This man is a legend. He has an amazing chin. Everybody loses in life. He took it like the man that he is. He is very inspirational, and beautiful. Good job Dominick. Hats off to you.
Gets knockdown 4 times and losses his tittle but he takes it like a real fighter and he would be probably be back soon not like Ronda Rousey... she is a sore loser tbh.
It's all the casual fans talking about "bandwagon this bandwagon that" just because people that were rooting for Cruz are giving Cody his props. Cruz is still one of my favorite fighters of all time he's a true champion. But that doesn't mean I can't be a fan of Cody especially after showing he's a good person with the Maddux situation and a great fighter, who would hate on someone like that. Both these men are fucking warriors! Excited for Cody's first defense and for Cruz's comeback.
lil yung This is probably one of the most intelligent posts ever. People have a hard time understanding that u can have a favorite fighter but also give props to another fighter when they beat your fav. That doesn't make you a bandwaggoner. People love to throw around terms but most of the time they don't even know what it means. I am team Cruz all day everyday but I have to give props to Cody for going out there and doing his thing. People can be so close minded.
Props to Cruz for his performance and heart he displayed. But, he lied twice in this interview. Cody IS faster. Cody taunting him DID get to him. He came forward angrily, in the pocket to hurt Cody and he got hurt. So, be honest with yourself, if you say that's what you do Dominator.
"HEADDD MOVEEMENNNT, HEADDD MOVEMEENNTTT, MAKE HER MISSSSS, MAKE HER MISSSS, PLEAAASEEE PLEAASSSSSEEEEEEE, PLEAAAASSEEEEE, NOOO NOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOO" the goat coach Edmond
UFC #1 i disagree... i dont think he got emotional at all. He used every tool he had and Cody just had an answer everytime. i think it looked emotional cause he was trying different things and it wasnt working.
I already had a lot of respect for him but this has reinforced how much of a genuine and humble guy he is. I'm a garbrant fan but I have to respect Cruz.
Dom completely abandoned his wrestling in the fight. Also, Dom has to improve his striking because swinging with your head down won't help you that much
Cruz does his best wrestling when he gets his opponent to over-commit coming forward so he can weave under their shots and get in on their hips. Cody was sitting back and getting Cruz to come in. That fucked Cruz's game up, as he explained here.
His striking is phenomenal, probably better than his wrestling. His frantic movement and speed are precisely why he's maintained being one of the greatest of all time.
Still an all time great. Can't be overstated how incredible it is that he won back his belt and defended it this year after multiple surgeries and year away from the sport.
spoken like a TRUE champion!!! humble in defeat and giving praise to where its due!!! Bravo Cruz!!! A Legend in this Sport No Doubt!!! He will come back Strong!!! ✊👊 #619 #SanDiego #TeamCruz #TeamAlliance
Honestly it's pretty easy to fight back cruz's style, which Cody did. He didn't move around or chase Dominick. He just stood there and exchanged when Cruz came near. So happy someone actually just stood somewhat still in a fight.
But isn't it sad that all he did was stand there and have faith that Cruz couldn't one punch KO him? Cody was willing to pay the price and play for the W. He won by standing his ground, not by out thinking or out maneuvering Cruz. It wasn't a win for Cruz by any means, but that his style is ineffectual against a young guy who will stand, throw fast hands, and be tough? Its not an easy thought to process as a long time fan of the technical side of the sport.
windrider987 well the thing is that not a lot of people can just stand there and trade hands with Cruz. Which is why after this fight I got a massive amount of respect for Cody. His reaction time was phenomenal. Definitely if it was someone else, Cruz would have picked them apart.
BoomSlanG yes exactly, Cruz went was more aggressive because he wanted to entertain the fans, if he was to wait and counter this fight would be going no where, Cruz took the risk for us. We enjoyed the fight.
What a class act. He handles a loss like you're supposed to, facing the music and being honest with himself, not hiding away and crying like Rousey. You can't grow if you don't acknowledge there is a problem to begin with! Cody was the better man in there last night (and put on a HELL of a performance). That said, it could go either way in a rematch (as long as Dominick doesn't get slower), and it'd be foolish to think otherwise. I think Cody would be rightfully favored in a rematch, but you can't count Dominick out. The guy is a genius, with the skills to match. Much respect!
For a while Dom has seemed to become more arrogant than just confident but this interview gave him some points with me. Much respect for the way he handled it.
He even analyzes his losses-dominick Cruz, fighter by day, analyst by night

Even tho he lost, he takes it like fucking man and you gotta respect that
I dont give a fuck if he took this punishment like a man... He nevergive the rematch to Dillashaw and he think he is a fucking god
He has to take it like a man because he got slapped around like a little bitch for 5 rounds
Arlovski 209 you're probably a virgin and don't know nothing of MMA. No Love won in good fashion but you have to acknowledge Dom's legacy you dimwit
Arlovski 209 shut up. This is the fight that everyone wanted to see. Cody won. He's the new champ, congrats to him. However, Dom is a class act, legend in this game. He took this L like a man and you have to respect that.
+Ta Mim you're an idiot.
Great analysis from his own loss. Humble. We'll see a new Dom after this.
I was going to say the same thing he got it spot on
Mark Murphy he has no power.
Mark Murphy I'd like to see Cody put on some weight and take on Conor cause Conor needs to make him pay for that pushing incident on the ultimate fighter Conor would bust his little punk ass up for putting his grubby little hands on him...... showboating has no room in the ring especially against legendary Champs like Cruz who's been on top for so long he's earned his respect not too many guys keep that belt for too long nowadays if Conor could cut twenty pounds on his huge frame he'd take Cody's belt and we'd know who's the real MAC DADDY is in the sport
lol Cruz already analyzing what he did wrong, he will be back
#GOAT
27 time BJJ World Champion he will be back better than ever and will take the belt back
Whatever helps you sleep
Limbersunite no you keep thinking that cody is to good for him no more excuses please.
27 time BJJ World Champion Dom is a class act. A legend. Congrats to Cody though.
@Conor McGregor Dom is still GOAT it's just that bandwagoners(such as yourself) are turning on him right now, same way they did when Conor tapped out. Dom is still one of the greats and he can turn things around still. Cody is great too tho
Taking his loss like a man, No excuses. I respect that. He will be back.
Tony El Soberano He'll be back , cody needs a new punching bag.
I really didn't like Dom until now thought he was cocky but he just tells it like it is no matter what
Yeah you gotta respect the guy after that no one has ever took a L like that not even Conor I understand him now he's just a Real person who speaks what he feels
Wow y'all still going at it lmao

Take a look at a real man. I will force my sons in the future to watch this interview and teach them how to be a man like Cruz. Helluva chin on a helluva man.
Watch this my boy, this is what a real man is like, not me.
Samuel Tarawally you can have other male role models as well as a father.

Class act by him he will be back! Congrats to Cody
Love and Respect for Cruz. You'll be back champ. Cody great fight and respect for you.
"I came in healthy, I have no excuse" this is why this guy will come back stronger, if he keeps this mindset he can be even better than he already is.
GIVE CRUZ A REMATCH!!!!!!!
QueefJuiceOverflow just take the loss like Cruz he's not even pushing for a rematch
QueefJuiceOverflow he's done i feels bad for him
Kwadre Williams Ikr Total domination the only thing cruz could do was brawl but every time came out worse or even stunned
UFC gave conor and anderson rematches. why not Cruz?
QueefJuiceOverflow Anderson was champion for ages. And conor vs nate wasnt a title fight. Not to forget that TJ deserves a rematch since he lost it.
Still my favorite fighter of all time. Class.
Your still a champ! ❤️
Edmond needs to never train another fighter as long as he lives. He just can't do it anymore
I didn't see any proof that there was actual training going on. Is he paid to train her?
at least he got rid of ronda and her shitty attitude that ruins the sport
Love how humble he is. He's going to get it back in no time

Way to take the loss like a man, Cruz. Respect.
Dominick Cruz is a Winner, the smartest fighter in the UFC. His character and persistence is unparalleled... a true champion.
Gets knockdown 4 times and losses his tittle but he takes it like a real fighter and he would be probably be back soon not like Ronda Rousey... she is a sore loser tbh.
I was going for Cody since it got announced, I hated Dominic before the fight but now he's a very humble man and he gained a new fan!
Cruz is still a beast, I'll always be a fan of his. much respect to him, & Cody.
One of the greats. Amazing to hear him analyse his battle.
Man, cruz took this loss like a fucking man, no doubt in my mind that he will be back. Maybe another uriah situation?
Cruz and Conor both lost like class acts, gave props, no excuses and analysed what went wrong.
Even the greatest have losses gsp, silva, DJ, etc.. he will be back and better
Moon Kelp they aren't greats the greats don't lose. Jon jones never lost. Mayweather never lost so F outta here
MrStylesHD forgot the word some and mma is very different from boxing MUCH harder to go undefeated
Greats do have losses Ali, Frazier, Forman and Lewis were greats and they all have losses.
RaZer I agree with you. I guess some people think that you cannot be one of the greats and lose. Those people think perfectionism exists. Very sad.
Denise Noles Yeah it's pretty bad but they're the type of person that changes their favourite fighter as soon as he loses.
Cruz is so legit even after the loss . This dude is so inspiring. I know he will get that belt again.
It's all the casual fans talking about "bandwagon this bandwagon that" just because people that were rooting for Cruz are giving Cody his props. Cruz is still one of my favorite fighters of all time he's a true champion. But that doesn't mean I can't be a fan of Cody especially after showing he's a good person with the Maddux situation and a great fighter, who would hate on someone like that. Both these men are fucking warriors! Excited for Cody's first defense and for Cruz's comeback.
lil yung This is probably one of the most intelligent posts ever. People have a hard time understanding that u can have a favorite fighter but also give props to another fighter when they beat your fav. That doesn't make you a bandwaggoner. People love to throw around terms but most of the time they don't even know what it means. I am team Cruz all day everyday but I have to give props to Cody for going out there and doing his thing. People can be so close minded.
This is how you handle a loss, pragmatic and humble.
Props to Cruz for his performance and heart he displayed. But, he lied twice in this interview. Cody IS faster. Cody taunting him DID get to him. He came forward angrily, in the pocket to hurt Cody and he got hurt. So, be honest with yourself, if you say that's what you do Dominator.

hopefully cruz comes back stronger
mad respect for Cruz. I'm glad you arent retiring. cannot wait for your next fight champ!
Win like a champ lose like a champ.. Cruz gonn bounce back
I mean you can't take a loss better then this such respect Dom is so real I love this guy can't wait to see what's next for him
"I simply wasn't efficient with my energy tonight-" Ronda Rousey
This was one of the best fights Ive seen in the last few UFC shows.
No push and pull. Cruz just got emotional and his game plan flew out the window. Simple.
UFC #1 yes
UFC #1 i disagree... i dont think he got emotional at all. He used every tool he had and Cody just had an answer everytime. i think it looked emotional cause he was trying different things and it wasnt working.
I think he Garbrant was just too fast and slick for him, not a question of emotions
I already had a lot of respect for him but this has reinforced how much of a genuine and humble guy he is. I'm a garbrant fan but I have to respect Cruz.
Dom completely abandoned his wrestling in the fight. Also, Dom has to improve his striking because swinging with your head down won't help you that much
MrGodismypower easier said than done
+Dominic MCR true
Cruz does his best wrestling when he gets his opponent to over-commit coming forward so he can weave under their shots and get in on their hips. Cody was sitting back and getting Cruz to come in. That fucked Cruz's game up, as he explained here.
His striking is phenomenal, probably better than his wrestling. His frantic movement and speed are precisely why he's maintained being one of the greatest of all time.
That's the way handle a loss, unlike walking out of the cage without shaking the hand of the fighter who knocked you out in 48 seconds.
Hope you're new crowned PTSD dog Dojo can help you with this loss.
Still an all time great. Can't be overstated how incredible it is that he won back his belt and defended it this year after multiple surgeries and year away from the sport.
Great champion !!!
Cruz is a good role model. So calm, took the L like a champion.
Is any fighter nicknamed Cauliflower?
Dr. Gregory Haus cm punk
john mcclaine hahaha im ded
spoken like a TRUE champion!!! humble in defeat and giving praise to where its due!!! Bravo Cruz!!! A Legend in this Sport No Doubt!!! He will come back Strong!!! ✊👊 #619 #SanDiego #TeamCruz #TeamAlliance
Still a CRUZ fan 😉
Honestly it's pretty easy to fight back cruz's style, which Cody did. He didn't move around or chase Dominick. He just stood there and exchanged when Cruz came near. So happy someone actually just stood somewhat still in a fight.
Destrocto Penetration? he was patient which helped him win the fight.
Seth Johnson yes he did but only when Cruz came close. TO didn't do anything to chase Cruz. He just stood there and dived punches.
But isn't it sad that all he did was stand there and have faith that Cruz couldn't one punch KO him? Cody was willing to pay the price and play for the W. He won by standing his ground, not by out thinking or out maneuvering Cruz. It wasn't a win for Cruz by any means, but that his style is ineffectual against a young guy who will stand, throw fast hands, and be tough? Its not an easy thought to process as a long time fan of the technical side of the sport.
windrider987 well the thing is that not a lot of people can just stand there and trade hands with Cruz. Which is why after this fight I got a massive amount of respect for Cody. His reaction time was phenomenal. Definitely if it was someone else, Cruz would have picked them apart.
I just watched the fight and all Cody mostly did was wait to counter...
BoomSlanG yup
BoomSlanG yes exactly, Cruz went was more aggressive because he wanted to entertain the fans, if he was to wait and counter this fight would be going no where, Cruz took the risk for us. We enjoyed the fight.
BoomSlanG done what he needed to do to win....
well he even said it "cody played the pull game while I had to chase him and play the push pull"
Curz in not good at leading. hes better with jumping in, and jumping out, and evading.
What a class act. He handles a loss like you're supposed to, facing the music and being honest with himself, not hiding away and crying like Rousey. You can't grow if you don't acknowledge there is a problem to begin with!
Cody was the better man in there last night (and put on a HELL of a performance). That said, it could go either way in a rematch (as long as Dominick doesn't get slower), and it'd be foolish to think otherwise. I think Cody would be rightfully favored in a rematch, but you can't count Dominick out. The guy is a genius, with the skills to match. Much respect!
For a while Dom has seemed to become more arrogant than just confident but this interview gave him some points with me. Much respect for the way he handled it.
Gnostic Adept I couldn't agree with you more. That's one reason why fighters lose they become arrogant,losing humility and focus.
You're the man Dom! You'll come back stronger!
