Cody Garbrandt or Michael McDonald, who is the better striker?

[Steveston]

Both of these guys have some serious power at Bantamweight and share similarity's in there striking.
Who would most likely win between the two? and who has the better striking?

 

[PurpleDrank]

Garbrandt easily.

 

[ExitLUPin]

Cody by far
Mayday just has power, his technique is meh

 

[Huligani]

lol is this even a question?

 

[Coolidge]

Regardless of whether it's true or not, the majority of people are going to be inclined to say Cody, being that he just KO'd someone minutes ago.

Cody

It was Cody before this fight

 

[M Raid K]

They are even for me. Recency bias will lead 99% to pick Garbrandt though. Rewatch some McDonald fights like I did a couple of days ago (when I heard he'll fight John Lineker) first.

Exactly, if Cody lost it would be Michael.

 

[johncola]

I think Michael McDonald is overrated like Thomas Almeida is/was. They're still both good prospects though.

Wut? Go back and watch him light Pickett and Torres up like Christmas trees.

 

[X Factor]

I just want to see them fight and let them decide

 

[saberd]

wtf mayday is much more technical his body shots are beutiful

 

[Ice That Jaw]

I don't want to choose because these type of dynamic punchers are pretty rare in mma.

 

[tdko]

Mayday is much more diverse, Garbrandt is more technical, power is even.

 

[MuyThaiElbows]

McDonald has some good striking, let's not forget just because No Love KO'd Almeida tonight

 

[SirKratos]

Not sure who's more technical but Garbrandt's definitely faster

 

[209since1978]

By sherdog logic, didn't Uriah and Barao "expose" Mayday already?
I kid, I kid. Garbrandt has good explosive boxing but Mayday I think has the more versatile offense

 

[Exemplar]

Love both guys. What I do know is that the UFC threw young Mayday in the grinder WAY too early and they're lucky they didn't lose him altogether (still multi-year absence). Tossing him at prime Barao and Faber was insane. Never liked how that went down.

 

[beefcake180]

It's Cody man. Mayday doesn't have much outside of a straight right.

 

[gimp0]

Man, Bantamweight is starting to look good these days.
