Comparison thread-who do you consider the better striker: Garbrandt or Dillashaw

[The Great Macsby]

Would or will? They're fighting on 207 aren't they? lol

Both!

 

[Realiity Check]

Garbrandt dropped Dillashaw is sparring

its clear he is better

Heard there's a video out there of him KOing Dillawshaw. Also of Dillashaw throwing a temper tantrum afterwards.

 

[JonesBonesJonny]

Wtf? Dillashaw dumbass

 

[ufc20]

It's the neck tattoo bro.

Could be. Makes him look pretty dangerous.

Neck tattoo = Wings
Aerodynamics obviously make the punches faster

Dillashaw for sure. The only thing Garbrandt has on him is power and maybe speed. But it doesn't necessarily mean Dillashaw is a more effective striker than Garbrandt. We'll see how Garbrandt does against Cruz.

Agreed

 

[omawho402]

Killashaw seems more technical, but Garbrandt is just as effective at finishing fights via strikes. KO power narrows the gap often on superior strikers

 

[Sinclair]

Striking technique - Dillashaw
Offensive/defensive/counters - Dillashaw
Head movement - Dillashaw
Kicking - Dillashaw
Footwork - Dillashaw
Aggression - Tie
Ability to take damage - Debatable
Punching power - Garbrandt

I personally think Cody's power and aggression will give Cruz a lot more problems than he's been used to. Dillashaw doesn't have the type of punching power as Garbrandt, nor does he apply the type of pressure Garbrandt can. He's more methodical and measured, which is superior for most opponents, but not Cody.

I hate snake little bit more than neck tats but ssssnake definitely has better striking

 

[Harlekin]

This thread shows that around 95% of sherdog never trained striking.

Kicking Dillashaw uses more but falls down on headkicks a lot
Footwork Garbrandt
Aggression doesn't count

[The Natural Born Runner]

Dillashaw and it's not even close.

 

[ThunderStruck]

Minus Cruz outstriking him for 4 rounds.

Outrunning.

 

[dontlaugh]

Dillashaw.
Cody's main atribute's are handspeed and reflexes.

Dillashaw has that and more.

 

[Polish Punisher]

Dillashaw.

But Garbrandt has more power by far. He is like the Rumble Johnson of 135.

So while he is going to have a hard time hitting Cruz, if he lands Cruz is in trouble.

 

[ArtemV]

I think Garbrandt only has the power advantage, TJ wins the rest

 

[Money509]

Garbrandt. He has faster hand speed and more power, also better boxing. TJ has better kicks though ill give him that.

 

[French Canadian]

Everyone knows it's TJ. That being said, it's MMA. It's not because TJ was a better striker that Dominick will win; everyone has it's chance. All it takes is one punch while Dominick is moving. Statistically, it's very possible that Cody wins.

 

[Morning Star]

Dillashaw, hes the best striker in the division and yes that includes running man Cruz.

Sorry HI, but TJ is the better striker of the two. He's got better accuracy, lands more often, has more power, and has 5 times the finishes that Cruz does. In fact when Sherdog used to do the articles UFC Champions by the numbers which showed the stats of all the current UFC champs Dom always came in dead last in striking accuracy.

Now if you argued striking defense that's another story, but the stats don't lie on who's the better striker.

TJ is leagues ahead in everything except power.

You don't even need to look at stats.

The eye test alone will show anybody that knows anything about striking that TJ is technically much better.

 

[OriginMMA]

Dillashaw is literally one of the bttter overall strikers in the UFC with footwork included.
