Cruz got memed on for the most part of the fight. Beaten at his own game and even rocked multiple times. The 4th round should have been a 10-8 Cody.
I had a lot of money on Cruz and wasn't a fan of Garby before that fight but it's hard not to appreciate an amazing performance like that against one of the GOATS. That's how you win fans.
It was a 10-8. Cruz got beat up for one round. The rest of the fight was fairly close. Give the BW GOAT the respect he deserves you dweeb. He took shots you couldn't even take to your ass if it was padded with titanium.
Funny you say that, I don't think Cruz's fans are anywhere as obnoxious as some others. The man himself on the other hand...
Garbrandt is just too young and athletic for Cruz. I love Cruz, he is one of the GOATs of MMA, but he is losing a step and I don't want to see him end up the same as guys like Shogun and Liddell with a bunch of KO losses. I hope he retires in the next couple of years.
Cody out cruzed Cruz. He made me eat two whole servings of humble pie. Honestly though, when I realized Cody was almost as tall as Cruz, I knew he would be a harder challenge for Cruz.
We're not really generally cocky I didn't think. He was unquestionably the best ever at 135 leading into this fight. He got beat soundly. Cody looked better than ever. Still my favorite fighter, regardless of what happens next.
