Dom the dork got embarassed.
Whats he gonna do though? Change the style that he made a career on and what got him a belt? You cant change that especially at his age. He is the type of fighter he is for a reason. The fact that hes running around now trying to "change his style" proves he lost confidence because hes flat out admitting he cant beat cody the way he is. I think he wont even beat TJ in a rematch to be honest.You should listen to how Cruz talks about the fight. He doesn't sound broken at all. He sounds like he just wants to work on changing his style now that there's an answer for it.
Agree about the second part. He seemed like he didnt want to admit cody is better.I don't think Dom was broken. Garbrandt did seem to fluster him a bit during the fight, but Dom is a mentally strong guy and is likely to come back better.
I did think Dom was a bit off when he was breaking down the fight at the post fight press conference. He didn't seem to be aware of by how much Garbrandt got the better of him.
He had the same elusiveness, problem is he finally faced a good boxer his size that had better footwork. His style only works on shorter guys with bad striking.Lol no one breaks Cruz. Cody had great game plan and had an answer for each specific move from Cruz, YouTube has a great breakdown on it. But I believe Cruz was hurt going into that fight and probably wanted to recuperate.
That was my first impression during the fight, Ludwig felt the same way. Hopefully Cruz comes back with that spring back in his step and his patented elusiveness.
Cody did "break" Dominic in that fight, but it doesn't mean the Dominic is "broken". I can see him coming back, but what I saw in that fight is that Dominic seemed to have lost a step. I may be wrong, but I think TJ will be a better fight because he still has the speed that Dominic did not have.
If TJ was fighting Dominic now, I would take TJ. I think Dominic has slowed.

I know he almost lost though. You could start seeing him having issues with tjIt worked vs TJ
nah because he knows Garbrandt already has a fight lined upOh yeah thats why Dom wants a rematch right now. Cuz he's broken.
