Dominick Cruz vs Demetrious Johnson [FIGHT HIGHLIGHTS]

[OmegaRugal]

New vid that popped up on my youtube. This fight looks a lot closer in these highlights than remembered.

Seems DJ won the standup despite the size difference but the grappling is where Cruz took over and won ... definitely partially thanks to this massive size advantage.

Cruz looks like a giant compared to Mighty Mouse.

DJ is over rated, his tiny size allows him to move at the speed he does. he isn't P4P unless he can be successful at multiple divisions

14-2 is pretty successful...

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Mighty Mouse was just to small for Cruz. The fight changed a lot for him. Johnson is now the 125 GOAT and about to break Andersons record of title defenses.

He was successful at a higher division for years

[Chivas GDL]

That's cuz most people have only seen gifs of Cruz suplexing DJ and think OmGZ DJ wuz DomiNATED!

 

[Lawblaw]

Cruz outclassed him, size difference had a lot to do with it but it wasn't the only reason.

[xMaxPower]

The size difference is insane.

Exactly

Dj is usually at a size disadvantage at 125. His ideal weight class is probably 115. He is just that good

Nah, it's the only reason. Size is a big deal. Size implies longer reach, heavier and stronger.

Yep.

It was just a competitive fight with an obvious winner in Cruz. In no way was Mighty Mouse 'dominated'.

 

[Khabib Fan]

Looks like he belongs at 135. MM is ducking his rightful division.

 

[OriginMMA]

People are crazy if they don't think DJ would do well in todays BW division.

 

[evilstevie]

DJ is awesome. But he could seriously fight at 115. He is small at 125. That said I'd love to see him fight necktats or TJ at 135.

The fighters he is dominating at 125 would do well at 135.

 

[Sano]

MM is a beast, kept coming forward. He was so much smaller than Cruz though. The thing is that he's improved a lot since then. I honestly think that he could go up and beat Cruz. At least have a good chance of doing so.
