pointing and laughing at a downed opponent shows zero class. how did that age for cody garbrandt? i heard hes washing cars in columbus OH...while Dom is a successful color commentator.
As a big team alpha male fan when I got into the sport (was a big fan of Uriah and TJ lol) I was giddy for 25 mins watching this fight. Cody looked like a future all time great for one fight
@@hotfunyunsop6196 i think its because of the fighting style of cruz which allowed cody to fight like that especially considering cruz isn't a wrestler
Errrr no, he was the goat out of him and Cruz. That’s all this fight showed. How could it show anything else if it’s a fight between him and Cruz 🤦🏻♂️
Cody trained to be the Anti-Cruz. Not that he was a bad fighter after this fight, but I feel that he put so much into negating Cruz’s style that it became difficult to break from that. Like a method actor who learns to speak a new accent, he can’t break it after filming the movie is over
Cody was 11-0 after this performance, but He is now 14-6. That sentence alone speaks volumes about how Cody Garbrandt’s career has gone. Sad bc this was one of the best performances in MMA history.
Cheater or not that finish was great, showed the difference between someone who protects themselves at all times, and someone who swings for the fences chin up hands down.
He was literally beating the latest title challenger pushing the age of 40 and only lost bc he started gassing in the champ rounds. And this is after multiple extended layoffs and what is usually career ending injuries...
Different levels of competition back then, most were boxers with some wrestling or jiu-jitsu. All it takes now is someone who can kick, or knee and not chase to beat Cruz so he changed his style for the new generation of fighters now, no idea if he's going to fight again soon but I really hope he wins.
Man, at 16:58 Goldberg sums up Garbrandts career after this fight “When you hunt for the knockout you often times get knocked out” how sad this has turned into. I remember seeing this thinking no one is going to touch this guy. A prime Cruz, one of the saddest things in MMA history
I had a friend also from Ohio who was 15-1 as a pro boxer and the 1 cost him the IBF title, he took one amatuer mma fight with a local bjj guy, lost and quit. He couldn't stay away from drugs or trouble as much as we all tried to help, lost his wife and 3 kids, they wanted nothing to do with him, he OD'd about 3 months ago, he's gone. That's how close Cody was to being nothing, remember that when watching this performance.
I'm sorry for your loss. The fighting game is all or nothing, every time they're in there. It must be terrible going 15-0, and eventually realizing you're not invincible. Anyway, hope his ex wife and kids are ok.
I’m sorry for your loss. I’ll have nine years clean in December and when I read stories like this or hear stories like this, it reminds me why I keep going to meetings why I keep working on myself. The disease of addiction is always at work. I’m sorry you lost your friend.
@@riceflatpicking4954what kept you clean if you don’t mind me asking? I always make it 1-2 weeks and the major physical symptoms are gone but I always go back.
It's really strange, Cody was never like that again, his speed and reactions just disappeared after this legendary fight, Cody really was on another level here.
I think he is just not motivated anymore,saving maddux from cancer was a bigger goal than defending his championchip belt, once the kid was saved he didnt have much to fight for exept for money/legacy
@@maidenlesstbhHe had the whole beef with Dillashaw after this. Lots of bad blood and plenty of motivation. He's just a very limited fighter whose skill set matched up very well with Cruz.
@@michaelshields6326that plus I think the stars aligned for him this night. From his other fights I think he gets too eager to turn it into a brawl, and his conditioning usually is not this on point. I don’t know if he was motivated this fight or just had the perfect prep, but here he’s waiting and finding his openings plus his cardio is amazing. Sure his style is good matchup for Cruz but I think it’s much more than that. He was just simply way better that night than any of his other fights IMO.

One of the best performances I’ve seen from a fighter in the 200s. Crazy how fast time flies now that we’re past 300, and how much has changed since then. At that time, I really believed that Garbrandt was gonna reign the bantamweight division…

Forreal. He had the raw talent to be possible GOAT status, but his head was never clear enough to make that happen. This fight showed what he’s capable of when he could stay in control mentally.
This was just such a perfect night, the win for cody, and even Doms humility after the loss. It really shows Doms goat status how he still managed to win two rounds and it shows just how perfect cody was this night considering the wins dom picked up after this fight.
Hearing the story behind this fight and Cody’s promise to that young boy brought tears to my eyes! I have a completely different respect for him now! ❤️💯🤙
6:26 I finally see why Dom does that weird swinging backpedal. Its to throw off the mirroring footwork of the opponent, breaks the reading. Now I notice it everywhere. If anyone can tell me what flew off his foot while kicking at 6:29 ? Toenail? Toe wrap?
If you have great cardio and speed, this one way to weaponize it. It worked for a long time. Sadly, for guys who depend on speed and endurance, those fade quickly with age.
First time Cruz was "out Cruzed". That Alpha MAle team finally figured him out. It took a while! Because he is so quick. has KO power, and now learned to be evasive, I thought Garbrandt would be champ for a looooong time. Nope. Didn't happen. But for all his losses, he is still a threat, and certainly still entertaining.
Here after exactly 100 more UFC events and still the best performance at 135lbs if not ever in the ufc, Cody really caught lightning in a bottle that night.
In this fight was cody just a Beast,I've rarely seen anyone move so fast. Every movement was perfect. That evening, Cody was simply on another level. I don't think anyone in his weight class could have beaten him that evening. That was a really cool and brilliant fight
Garbrandt only got credited with two knockdowns the whole fight. Rogan was overreacting on everything. With Cruz’s style it is easy for him to lose balance either by stepping on his opponent’s foot, a head clash, or getting hit with a shot that just changes his momentum.
@@griggsz9649 Two slips, and still a 10-9 round. Not even close to going out. Dom clearly won rounds two and five and round one was closer than Joe mad it seem. Casuals shouldn't comment on fights, if you never fought yourself you have absolutely no clue.
For about half an hour, Cody Garbrandt was the single greatest Bantamweight that mixed martial arts will ever see. Better than everyone before and after this night.

He had to god mode for that kid when he promised he would win if took his meds to try and beat his cancer
