amazing how off Dom Cruz was in every single thing he said. nothing he said would happen happened. izzy did not pressure strickland, it was the opposite. izzy did throw leg kicks but strickland checked every single one of them. no wrestling from strickland. the worst part is leg kicks. you can see in every sparring video on youtube that strickland stands on one foot like a freakin karate kid and is immune to leg kicks yet Cruz still highlighted that as main weapon for Izzy. what the heck. a 5 year old could of seen that leg kick will not work on strickland due to his strange style. Cruz needs to start watching some video footage.
Jared should've gotten it, imo. Sean getting a title shot off an unranked opponent is a joke compared to Jared smashing Marvin. Sean was probably just easier to sell because Cannonier vs Adesanya 1 was so recent.
marvin rocked jared bad twice in the first round and jared said he was out on his feet and backed up to the cage to stay up, marvin has no fight iq otherwise he would have won easy when jared was hurt
Sean isn’t fast enough to close the distance faster than izzy could manage. Rob could get away with doing something like that but the speed difference between Rob and Sean is huuuuge
Wow dude, you figured it out. All those MMA coaches have nothing on you. Never saw Rob doing that - oh wait, he did, and still couldn't keep Izzy down despite being 5x the wrestler of strickland
I'm just saying that's his only chance of beating izzy... no way he can beat izzy on the feet and izzy has good takedown defense and gets back up right a way. @@yes1671
This fight will be Sean vs abus 2, the only difference is that Izzy is much better and will not gas out in 1 round, we seen in the first round of Sean vs Abus, abus was getting him good with low kicks and body kicks, I’m a big Strickland fan but this fight won’t be close😂
Izzy will not be as agressive as abus, abus was genuinely going for a finish, he had no cardio but at least he was true to his word. Izzy just says hes gonna "show off and show out" but hes a point fighter who can only get a knockout on a counterpunch, not from initiating his own offense. Sean is very offensive though (pun intended) so maybe izzy can make something happen.
When Dom said, "I'm Izzy" and "You're Sean" I knew it was only a matter of time before he'd switch it up and leave me guessing 😂 There's levels to this game, and I personally think we're going to see a master class from the champ before he puts Sean away. Lots of damage to the legs with a vicious ko in the 3rd or 4th.
izzy leans back from kicks and punches to dodge... if Sean is smart he will setup a takedown from when izzy leans back and has his head behind his legs idk im just sayin
Let me save you all time, the video goes thus: '[in a closeted, nasally, 'sassy' voice] Ken Petersen stopped the fight because he was on drugs. Me taking a knee to the dome was me setting traps for Cejudo - Just like Conor was letting Khabib tire himself out by pounding his face into the mat.'
Yeah cuz Sean ain't no Alex lmao. Alex the only guy who can truly trap Izzy on the cage because of his kickboxing prowess and the intimidation factor of his power
@@yungugh1-689 you think izzys cardio is better? maybe if sean takes him down and lays on him for 5 rounds he might make him tired? but it does take a lot of energy to take down and keep down so its hard to say. only way to know is to know. i think izzy will win but i want sean to win.
If Dom was 6 feet tall he would be the coolest dude around. Some of his arrogance and rudeness I feel comes from the chip on his shoulder from being short but he’s so insightful and a savage.
This is Izzy's 8 mile moment. Everyone is counting him out. Nobody thinks he can win. Everyone is gassing up Strickland. Now is the time to shock the world and prove the doubters wrong once and for all
what r u smoking.. strickland is a giant underdog.. Sure everyone likes strickland more but thats because hes a real human as oppose to some character that izzy made up to hide from his demons
Great video. Weird thing is that Dan hardy said the exact opposite about Strickland cutting off the cage. He said strickland was bad at cutting the cage off

Man Cruz is highly underrated with his fighter breakdowns. Can't say he doesn't do his homework.
I'd say he's rated pretty fair, he gets loads of respect for his analysis.
I rate him highly so he is not underrated by me.
DC definitely wouldn't do his homework
He’s always had high IQ.
his commentary on the mcgregor v khabib fight was low iq@@unclejim2330
Dom has a serious future in coaching if he chooses
Yeah as long as he teaches his fighter to let their opponent wear themselves out with ground strikes like Conor did with Khabib
@@temper880Yeah thats the time when dom's brain suddenly stopped working😂
@@temper880daaamn this is will always be dom's fatal mistake, mma fans will never forget it
Yeah his commentary is always on point
@@temper880well Tbf , Conor on the score cards won round 3 so Khabib must of been a little tired and then he blitz him in round 4 haha
I’ll always watch these Dom Cruz break downs
I will call in sick to work for 10 minutes of a Dom breakdown
Same
Is he usually accurate?
Sus
If Cory watches, then I'll watch too!!
These breakdowns are incredibly informative. Thank you!

"Adesanya is a multiple time world champion in muay thai" where did he even pull that one from? ahaha
Dom Cruz is way under appreciated
thank you... these breakdowns help us understand the fights a lot better.. also we need to see you back in the mix at 135
Dom is so good with his breakdowns. Insane fight IQ goat
You my man are simply the best in breakdowns. GOAT, no one comes even close
Costa didn't see that kick coming. I see the same thing happening to Sean.
Everyone keeps saying it but Dominic Cruz demonstrates how styles match up better than almost anyone.
In fact he could be the very best.
cool vid, give this man more camera time for these in depth analysis!
I am sure, press conference is going to be more lit, then main event itself.
oh?
Let's be real, Sean is just in there cause no one else was ready to fight Izzy.
true - at least he won against this abus guy so they can sell it as a - vs top5 fight
Jared should've gotten it, imo. Sean getting a title shot off an unranked opponent is a joke compared to Jared smashing Marvin. Sean was probably just easier to sell because Cannonier vs Adesanya 1 was so recent.
marvin rocked jared bad twice in the first round and jared said he was out on his feet and backed up to the cage to stay up, marvin has no fight iq otherwise he would have won easy when jared was hurt
Strictly 1st round headlock finish
@@BingeThinker1814Nobody wants to see Jared after a snoozefest against Izzy and Strickland beat Jared also and got robbed. Lol
Dom is a genius
sean needs to throw a right overhand and go for the double leg... izzy will most likely try to lean his head back to dodge.
izzy is way better on the ground.
sean has to make it messy on the feet.
@@theblackcattlewon’t work either cuz izzy has the better chin lol
Sean isn’t fast enough to close the distance faster than izzy could manage. Rob could get away with doing something like that but the speed difference between Rob and Sean is huuuuge

Love Dom breaking these down❤
Wish Dom was in Sean’s corner this week. 😂
These break downs are dom
«he doesn’t follow” - immediately shows clips of Strickland following his opponents
Dominick cruz for el presidente!
Cruz!!!!! Dominic Cruz is better at break down than fighting…….amazing what a smart guy great break down
I'd like to see Dominick Cruz address the cult allegations by Sean Strickland

There indeed are levels to this game.
Lol 😂
3:23 head position
I'll always watch theze Dumb Cruz break downs 😂
Great breakdown!
and that is what happened minus the grappling , amazing thanks dom
Nice video, but you excluded feinting from Izzy.
that is a huge aspect of his game
great breakdown
Wow Cruise outdone himself. Great Video!
Dear Dominic and Erik, that was simply an outstanding mma lesson. You two are my champions, thank you gentlemen.❤❤
Good old Dom
Izzy's gonna dominate and outclass Sean Strickland all fight long if he doesn't finish him by KO/TKO
Wrong 😂
None of these happened😂
Crazy break down
I didn't hear anything about the reach .. how will u land if Izzy is attacking u from the outside?.
in Izzy Whittaker 2 Rob figured that out.. take a look at that fight
@@xonious9031 one is champion.. one is still recovering from brutal beet down.. i rest my case
Lol. You rested your case. Good for you.
@@kroxx2 the sport has more or less left Izzy behind. He used to be really good but the sport moved on and his skill set no longer works
cruz has his own weird charisma
Strickland knew already he had no chance to win on this fight . I hope he do very unusual and just go wild wild fight
@HisFisticHoliness yeah they go by papers . But I like those upsets . It’s make this sports more exciting
ok bet the farm
I think more than the fight, the press conference is going to be more interesting
He's gassing him out with his face.
- Dominick cruz
Thank you. I got a good laugh
This is where dom shines.
Izzy begining of 2 headkick.
seans highlight reel is so inexistent they had to mine his amateur career footage lol
izzy leans back from kicks and punches to dodge... if Sean is smart he will setup a takedown from when izzy leans back and has his head behind his legs
idk im just sayin
Dom of the year
Thank you drunk Dom
I think omalley watched your last vid thats how he defender aljos takedown and ultimately got the w !
Very few see it like don cruz
3:47 thats definitely a crappy one. 😂
Dominick should spend more time breaking down chitos headkick
Lol fax@HisFisticHoliness
Lame casual comment, have more respect for these guys that put their well-being on the Line for your entertainment
@@stacks3892 for money. idiot
guy looks like Kris Moutinho
Don always smart .
Will be a very short fight , especially if Strickland starts to slag him off .. bada bang all over.
Let me save you all time, the video goes thus:
'[in a closeted, nasally, 'sassy' voice] Ken Petersen stopped the fight because he was on drugs. Me taking a knee to the dome was me setting traps for Cejudo - Just like Conor was letting Khabib tire himself out by pounding his face into the mat.'
Goat
Strickland blindly walks forward. If he does this vs Izzy he's done just like Alex. He can't eat thosebshots or allow Izzy to find the rhythm.
He didn't lol
@@Captain_Insano_nomercy def didn't. Lol
Is he saying ‘wizard’ ?
I feel like is Sean actually try's to wrestle a bit he could have somewhat of a chance
but hes gonna try to stand and bang ...
It worked 😂👍🏻
This is great but I’ve got Sean by gunshot
that guys stance is way to wide to be stricklands
Sean trying with Alex is bad cos Alex gone advise him to press Izzy and that's exactly what Izzy want
maybe Glover told him to wrestle?
Yeah cuz Sean ain't no Alex lmao. Alex the only guy who can truly trap Izzy on the cage because of his kickboxing prowess and the intimidation factor of his power
Izzy 2nd RD KO/TKO
How did they get Israel to do this breakdown? :O He's looking a bit pale
Izzy's whatever he wants to be. American all his life, he bleeds Red White and Blue
Dom "Choice Center" Cruz
I miss Dan Hardy
I watched his recent video about the fight, it was fantastic
Khamzat gonna walk Izzy down & destroy him
Pick me, pick me, I want to join the church Dominick!
i wonder if sean has a strategy? cause i think in order to win hes going to need one.
He’s gotta get him outa there in first 2 or else there’s little to no chance
@@yungugh1-689 you think izzys cardio is better? maybe if sean takes him down and lays on him for 5 rounds he might make him tired? but it does take a lot of energy to take down and keep down so its hard to say. only way to know is to know. i think izzy will win but i want sean to win.
He needs to grapple for the first round to slow him down,otherwise he will get stopped not from power but from accumulation of damage like costa
@@natew5544 only guy to actually keep Izzy down is Jan. Everyone else failed
@@emmy4537 if he was a -2000 then id agree. but i think he does have a chance. its not super high. im pullin all my mental mojo to make it so though.
Cruz is a sponge
Just so you know Strickland havent beat a fighter higher that ranked 9 in his career. Fighting for the belt. Sport…
Just smoked the champ too. That must sting
And yet he dogged walked Izzy for 5 full rounds and won by unanimous decision to the point Izzy wants to take a break til 2027 😂😂
Yep question mark kick from south paw for Izzy then a follow up strike kinda like Brunson finish I think
Nope lol
Dominick Cruz: "I'm gonna be Izzy". Ok bro.
Dominic Cruz, you are now free to say the N word
Izzy is going to beat him easy
got a draftkings account? max out the card
If Dom was 6 feet tall he would be the coolest dude around. Some of his arrogance and rudeness I feel comes from the chip on his shoulder from being short but he’s so insightful and a savage.
Now that's a stupid comment.

you are deluded. i like izzy but that isnt true at all. sean is 5th ranked and izzy is the champion
Claim your 'Dominick Cruz is annoying' ticket here
Great video. Weird thing is that Dan hardy said the exact opposite about Strickland cutting off the cage. He said strickland was bad at cutting the cage off
Say whatever you want about Dominick as a commentator but he always has the best breakdowns

Taking advice from someone that got head kicked
So do you belong to a cult?
Super interesting!
cruzs breakdowns are 100x better than cejudos.
Gollito Perez needs to come back to the UFC!
Sean won’t kick enough :(
Great analysis.
wut da dog doin
