What makes Dominick Cruz’s style so effective?

[Son of Werdum]

Men aren't used to fighting spastic girls, so his style is hard to prepare for.

Can you imagine being a "man" and losing to a "spastic girl" in an MMA fight? Must be pretty immasculating.

 

[markys00]

you shouldve seen how effective it was in his last fight

If u look at the score cards, Cruz could actually won

score cards have been way off and terrible alot of times in mma. Here is another example of it.

Cruz fans want to pretend this isnt a common occurrence in the sport though

 

[The_Buckanater]

He moves like Machida, minus the karate background.

And the uhhh... entertaining KO victories.

 

[Megatronlee]

Because he silly stumble around drunken boxing style keeps him safe in training so he doesn't have to miss out on a lot of fights from injuries.

Hahahahaha

Yeah, if the judges were scoring a pillow fight.

It’s 2018 for fuck sake. It’s a well trained, talented spastic girl. I’m sure it’s news to you that they can vote now too.

Rhythm, fights off beat..

 

[Dowdy]

He explained it on Joe Rogan's Podcast - he wanted a style where he was attacking and defending at the same time

You look like the kind of moron who would laugh off Rocco Siffredi if he declared that sometimes, very rarely, can't get it up

 

[Lawrence]

I didn't see it mentioned, but along with his footwork which some criticize but is clearly effective,

Cruz has EXCELLENT TAKEDOWNS, I think he uses them superbly and not just at the end of rounds.... I think his takedowns are really what seperated him from Faber in their close matches.

He whips his head all over the god damn place and cruises around like that turd from Lord of the rings


How the hell you sposed to wack that

...for the same reason that white men cant dance

I had a theory/joke from back in the day. It's not that white men can't dance. You have plenty that do. It's just that the majority of white guys with high levels of coordination and rhythm use it for shit like juggling, extreme sports, and shit like that. That's my half-assed theory from back when the X Games first came on the scene about twenty-three years ago.

 

[Black Paladin]

Isn't it because of the randomness of his movements. He is so unlike anyone and mixes it up so much that no one can guess what he will do (besides cody). So mysterious...

Cruz' Chaos Footwork™. He should put out a DVD.

 

[Badger67]

He pitter patters you and evades all fight. He doesnt really fight you exactly. Make a smaller cage for smaller fighters and his boring fights wont happen.

 

[Overhand Luke]

This, he also said every over martial art he studied involved attacking and defending in straight lines from your stance, so he mixes up angles when moving in.
