i caught this short video today in YT suggestions, it is a perfect intro to Cruz footwork for those not ready to commit the time for a deep dive analysis.

He’s “awkward”
He is “Herky jerky”
He is “unorthodox”

“Nah man... he is just on another level and you aren’t ready for it yet, but your kids are gonna love it.”






That’s all for now. We will see if this turns into a derailed thread about something he said rather than an intelligent discussion of his exceptional technique and brilliant adaptation of old school boxing and various traditional martial arts footwork into MMA.

Cheers

Garbrandt already did kinda.

 

[SeaChad]

Good footwork, little power. Decisionator

 

[khabibsmesh]

Yep! He has amazing footwork, I believe he even offers a course covering footwork and other stuff, if I’m not wrong. Has anyone here bought it?

 

[humdizzle]

doms style doesn't generate much power. its more like just playing tag for 5 rounds.

 

[Street Bishop]

He had elite footwork even by today's standards. His handspeed and overall punching technique not so much.

 

[KID Yamamoto]

His style is super light on his feet to pivot and dart. But that means he can't sit on his shots at all.

 

[BearGrounds]

His footwork is probably the main reason he's injury prone from the waist down. On top of that, he can't even manage to get in position to drive power behind his strikes.

It's a lot of slip work to point fight.

 

[THEfightsAREfixed]

his hair is stupid and has been for some time so that retracts heavily from his overall appearances unfortunately

This. His punching technique is quite bad, imo, but if it worked for him for so long, who am I to criticize right?

My buddy bought it. He's still getting his ass kicked on the regular in street fights. But he has become the fucking king of Dance Dance Revolution.

Henry had that shit figured out. Dom's footwork is frustrating to deal with but the blue print is out there.

Stylistically, Henry is a nightmare for Cruz. I don't think many at 135 can do what Cejudo did.

this. every style or approach to fighting will have a weakness. some people act like having the "blueprint" out there "exposed" someone. sure Cejudo and Cody did well against Cruz, but very few were able to beat him as he 'danced' around the cage. not the most popular style, but he racked up wins doing so

Cruz's footwork?



It might be the single most overrated thing in MMA history. That and Pillowfists McGregory's left hand.

He literally shuffles around randomly, throwing punches like he's swinging a handbag. It's not even close to being elite footwork. He just happened to fight people who were too small and and not good enough to exploit it.

If he fought elite strikers his own size, his fights would look like the Cody fight. Someone with proper efficient boxing footwork would clown him 10/10.

He can break dance away from Dom all he wants but he's still running from that chit...
