Cody Garbrandt can't take out Cruz

Garbrandt is never going to catch up to Dominick at what Dom does best, it's just not going to happen. Improving on what he does best is probably his best shot at beating someone like Cruz. Dude hits WAYYY harder than most 135ers and a lot of people thought Almeida would tool him. Mizugaki is a great fight for him. Dude's the perfect gatekeeper and if Garbrandt is going to take on Cruz he needs to smash Miz which I think he will. Cruz still probably beats him but he's top 3 p4p imo so that's not an insult.

You're 100% on the money, I would just like to see him moving more as he hits pads and work on entering and exiting the pocket at different angles.
