Why is Garbrandt stylin on Dom so underrated on this forum?

[Mind Mine]

The night I saw Cody get loose and start stylin and pop locking on Dom there probably wasn’t a moment I’ve seen that made me come out of my seat with a laughing cheer like that since. It was technical. It was hilarious. It was disrespectful. It was smooth. That night I came on the forum and there were crickets and people saying he looked like a fool. I understand we have different perspectives but Cody has top 3 moments of stylin in UFC history and literally signed his own fate. He got NO LOVE. What the hell is the deal?

You just saw this fight today didn’t you.

It’s ok to admit it.

Was it? People were hailing Cody as the next invincible GOAT

it's not, we were all raving about it quite a lot actually

and whenever there's a thread about dominating title winning performances his one is the first to get mentioned

That shit was here today gone tomorrow in attention. Cruelly underrated moment

Because it was obviously an anomaly and probably didn’t happen…. <.< >.>

It's because he was a flash in the pan compared to his trajectory afterwards. He fell off hard and that overshadows the performance. His decline was immediate and he reached the top quickly for a brief second so it wasn't like Anderson Silva who was at the top for a long time.

He got his props and then some

It was a great performance

but then his next fight (actually several fights) he shit the bed

its like saying 'why is tony's performance on prime RDA not getting any love?'

It is a cruelly underrated BRILLIANT performance with arguably the most “fun” moment in UFC history of a man getting loose. People only discuss who is winning not the most valuable memories yet they claim others aren’t true fans

Team Alpha Male game planned for an entire decade to beat Cruz.

Garbrandt’s entire career revolved around winning that one matchup.

I disagree that he ever got his full love for the mastery in that fight. Not his technical performance or looseness. He OWNED the stage that night

I get it. You’re one of those talk about what happened last weekend forget the past guys. Got you. Now get your fake fanning dollar ass off my post before I make change

 

[AmonTobin]

Who underrated it? He's always been unanimously praised for that performance. Perhaps a career best.

I always think about it when I think of best title wins. That and TJ vs barao

I seem to remember everyone thinking it was damn impressive, which it was/is. Problem is Cody has never looked that good ever again. One of those average careers with a singular, spectacular high point.

Edit: You know what, I think I could have chosen my words a bit better. Change that to 'An otherwise average UFC career with a singular, spectacular high point.'

Average? Yeah your average fighter gets the belt ok oal

 

[VAfan]

cody was absolutely on that night. but in a way it's a case of the old styles make fights, his problem was striking defense and (later on) a chin problem and dom wasn't really a hard hitter and wasn't going to lay him out.

was still an epic performance, almost like an anderson in the matrix moment.

 

[VinceArch]

That's literally all we talk about when it comes to Garbrandt. Fought the perfect style against an unorthodox striker and made him completely look ineffective. The loses the belt in his very next fight, loses the immediate re match and it's been completely downhill since.
