Cruz is one the most skilled fighter ever and Cody schooled him when was only 25.who has done something similar?

 

[BoD 2.0]

A lot of fighters. Too many to name actually.

 

[Dozer .]

Aldo finishing dominant champ Mike Brown to become the WEC FW champ and the youngest world champ in MMA history at 23 years, 2 months.

 

[Gabe]

Jones over Shogun. Holloway over Aldo.

Name one then.i bet more than half of them is not even close to cruz level

 

[MrCoffee]

This is actually a constant, even before MMA.

 

[WaylonMercy5150]

Mickey Gall beating CM Punk at 21

 

[3sumrock]

Jones over Shogun. Holloway over Aldo.

No,aldo gave a very competitive fight to Holloway and was even winning the first two round in both fight

 

[MrCoffee]

... Have you never seen what happens in the animal kingdom? Ya dang dingus.

And Cruz is great yes. But he’s also a product of a division which is void of competition. He is not comparable to the UFC Welterweights of the 2000’s, the Pride Middle and Light Heavyweights of the 2000’s, the UFC Lightweights of today and others.

 

[A.S. Deep]

Literally every Jones fight.

Aldo finishing dominant champ Mike Brown to become the WEC FW champ and the youngest world champ in MMA history at 23 years, 2 months old.

In what universe was mike brown even remotely close to cruz level?

Shogun winning the pride Grand Prix at 23

 

[Naught2Sixty]

Post injury ridden Cruz.

Shogun vs Rampage, GSP vs Hughes, BJ vs Hughes, Jones vs Shogun

I’m not naming all of them. Those fights were all MUCH more dominant then the Cody vs Cruz fight. And they were all very young. Knock it off and learn some history.

Dude. It’s no secret the weight class is weak and always has been. Guys have been overhyped to build interest obviously. Look how easy Frankie ran through Faber lol. I honestly don’t remember Fabrt landing a single punch.

Rampage is a great fighter but he’s no where close to cruz level.cruz is literally better at everything
Hughes is as one dimensional as you can get.cruz wrestling is also better than Hughes
Shogun one I can kinda agree

 

[The Professional]

to be fair Cruz looked a lot slower in that fight. aging veterans will get dominated by the up-and-comers, it's the law of nature. Edgar/Ortega, Weidman/Silva, Jones/Shogun/Machida/Rampage, etc.
