I thought Cruz got humiliated hard

[murphythecat7]

Yes, but that takedown plus those 2 knockdowns got him the victory. if it wasn't for those, Cruz would've retained.

wrong

 

[HereToSlay]

agreed. the massive cut didnt help. cruz def won 1 and 5.

Nope. Cruz won 5 but not 1. Cody outstruk him and took him down in 1

 

[giantveggie]

that isn't what matters. Effective striking, grappling, aggresion, and octagon control. Little kicks off your back foot and feeler taps don't win fights like this when Cody was tuning him up.

Cruz did more damage with legal strikes.
Cody got a couple knockdowns, and cut him with a headbutt (at least according to Rogan, I'm not convinced).
Dancing near the cage and laying down out of range isn't aggression or octagon control.

So you thought Cruz won?

Cruz outstruck Garbrant.

EVERY SINGLE ROUND.

you aren't trying to suggest Cruz won the fight are you?

 

[Relentless chase]

Give those 2 rounds to Garbrant, it's still 3-2 Cruz.

The takedown in Rd 1 make a difference on the scorecards. without the takedown, it could've been a toss up round.. I had Cruz in that round, but the takedown is what I believe got Cody that round.

Buncha casual new weirdos cause of Ronda. Did you hear the hate Dom was getting? LOL

Unprecidented.

[sharkcat]

Cruz was humiliated almost as bad as Conor was when he tapped like a chicken against Diaz

lol give up dude, Cruz got tagged, dropped multiple times. We didn't even have to wait for the decision to know who won the fight.

Cody out performed in striking, TDD, wrestling and every aspect of the game.

But this is why numbers alone never tell the whole story. Cruz landed a couple of good blows but for the most part he was just poking at Cody and never did any damage. Garbrant was never even in danger. It was pretty clear who was controlling and winning that fight - even without the knockdowns it's a clear decision for Garbrandt. And with the knockdowns, a split in Cody's favor would be an outrage, because that amounts to a pretty clear ass beating.

 

[Relentless chase]

So basically what you're saying is if Cody didn't attack Cruz at all he would have won?

LOL these guys

Bitch read what I said. Cruz lost because of the takedown and 2 knockdowns.

Yes next time he should ask Cody to not knock him down

O RLY?

Significant strikes 20 - 12 Cruz
Head Strilkes 9-5 Cruz
Body Strikes 4-3 Cruz
Leg Strikes 7-4 Cruz
Strikes from distance 20-11

Am I wrong? Didn't Cody get taken down first and was able to pop back up?

Unless your name is bisping and you are getting your ass beat by hendo...

 

[Aegon Spengler]

It's very odd Cody didn't try to finish Cruz in round 5, or even go after him at all. I guess he didn't want to hurt him, or maybe his hand was broken?

 

[SamboPunch]

Dude hasnt been the same since he came back

Cruz drew blood from Cody with legal strikes, Cody not so much...

 

[MMASpeculator]

Instead of making Cody whiff air, Cody Anderson'd Cruz with his head movement. On top of that, Cody knocked him down a bunch and just pointed at him. That was very embarrassing after all the trashtalk and I wonder how Cruz will handle the press if they rematch.
