Does Dominick Cruz has the best striking defense in ufc?

[RockyLockridge]

A punch was thrown and landed to Cody's head which knocked him out so i'd say yes.

So any one who has ever been KO'd at any point in their career has bad striking defense.

Got it.

His striking and striking defense is overrated imo keep in mind also that the guy is 5'9 fighting guys 5'6 Cody already exposed him Cruz doesn't even strike properly tbh doesn't take a professional to see that guarantee his striking defense is useless in the lightweight division

5'8* and height doesn't win fights..what the fuck does a 2 inch height advantage do? absolutely nothing. its all about arm reach and height shouldn't come into play unless there's like a 4-5 inch difference. Mike tyson's shortness helped him with his peek a boo style cause he'd throw bombs to the taller opponent and they cant even see him cause his in their stomach level and if u swing for the fences ur bound to miss cause mike's bob and weaving succesfully and before they know it their getting bomb after bomb after bomb. also to TS, TJ hit him clean several times dominick was the better technician though. I wish he would've used his usual countering style with cody instead of leading which fell right into cody's gameplan..

Dominick Cruz just has a unique and unorthodox style of fighting that it left most of his previous opponents puzzled. They couldn't figure his style out and couldn't really implement their own. But saying he has the best striking and striking defense is a stretch.

Also the way he throws punches seems like it's designed to avoid punches.

Wait.

Wouldn't that be considered a brilliant tactic/strategy?

To strike while avoiding incoming damage?

Yea Anderson Silva is best. Nobody out strikes him. Only losses came by subs and decisions by lay n pray. Even when guys who are "outstriking" him, did no damage (chael).

His only KO loss came by his own clowning and his other TKO loss by him breaking his own legs. Nobody out strikes Anderson Silva but Anderson Silva. That makes him the best defensive and offensive fighter.

Anderson Bless.

Id actually say its overrated, dude spent 90% of his career fighting midgets alot shorter than him that had shit boxing. The first time he faced a dude his size who can box he lost.

Pretty much this. Granted he tailored a style to fight largely smaller guys with cruder striking who will play into it. Against guys closer to his size who are well rounded strikers with power he wont do so well IMO. What happened with the cody fight is what would happened if he moved up.

Best striking defense goes to Conor McGregor................can't get hit if you don't defend your belt.

Absolutely it is. It just doesn't do damage. It's strictly to score points.
