Lol. I think a lot of people thought he was great after that performance but it's not so. This sport is just weird Cody gets battered twice by Tj dillashaw and Cody beats Dominic convincingly and then Dominic out classes Tj. That shouldn't b the case yet it is.
By far my favourite UFC performance of all time. The confidence, the momentum and the electricity was just wild. Real shame about Cody. I still dont miss any of his fights hoping to see this version of him again.
I thought Cody had a LOT of potential, but he never fully developed his fighting IQ. Once Cody fought T.J Dillashaw twice and lost he's never ever been the same. Watching this fight and how good he was to now its completely shocking that he actually beat Dominick Cruz. Especially how he did. It's just crazy.
@@DMV831 since this fight he’s had 6 fights 2 tko loses to tj a tko loss to munhoz a win over assuncao then a loss from font and France three tko loses back to back and his last was loss by tko im not sure he if really anyone can come back from that although it would be dope if he did
@@DMV831 i realy think that Bec of Doms injury that fight,cody looked good,if Cody was good he would have beaten Tj,Pedro,Font,kai kara,i think dominick didnt want to vacate the belt again bec of an injury
Crazy how Cody looked untouchable against Dom and now it seems like so long ago. Cruz has stayed ranked in or around the top 10, but is nearing retirement. Cody's been finished time and again and could be forced into an early one. Also, Dom had one of the best post-fight interviews ever. Took the loss like the champ he's always been.
I watched that 207 post fight presser as I layed on a couch, defeated by life having just lost the love of my life because of my drinking and being depressed. It did move me, really helped in a dark time. I hated it at the time but since I got sober I really dug into it. Winners mindset. I've been sober from everything but herb since 5/25/17. I went in 1/17 but relapsed in program and went right back in. Thanks Dom.
@asonunique209 nah he looked like he had a solid chin against font. I think the problem is that he has no fight iq and his defense is shit. The kai fight was bad but to be fair, he should have never been to 125
@@cantucesar1988 if he doesn’t take that fight with TJ personal he would’ve walked through him. The best thing he did against cruz is he never over committed to anything. He knocked cruz a bunch of times and never over committed for the KO. He knew he could KO Cruz any time. It’s the same with TJ. Cody knew he could’ve knocked out tj whenever. He should’ve just kept doing what he did with Cruz. Never over commit. Cody definitely was never the same after those 2 KOs
It’s crazy to see the level Cody was able to tap into during this short period. Really wish he was able to maintain it, because he can be an electric fighter, and he’s pretty good on the mic. He had a glimmer of hope with that walk off KO against Raphael Assuncao at 250, but he hasn’t been looking sharp since. Hope the best for No Love Garbrandt
I like the sportsmanship at the end of the fight. Cruz acting like the loss didn't faze him in post fight interview is pretty funny though saying "it wasn't a tough night that he lost" ahah! He is obvi crushed especially after the smack talk before hand
The defence from Cody in this fight was incredible. I was shocked Rogan didn’t say anything about it. He slipped like a 6 punch combo - twice. Unreal fight. Sucks to see where he’s at now.
I'm never not disappointed by how Garbrandt lost twice to the snake in the grass after this. He could have gone on the biggest skid and I wouldn't care but to lose to the guy who became his arch nemesis, twice and once where he clearly had the tools to take the CEO of EPO apart but fought (either by choice or instinct) on pure emotion and threw his skills and head movement out of the window to brawl. Never fails to make me sad.
Keep that same energy with Jon Jones.. I bet you won't tho. Tj admitted to taking epo one time, and he was only caught once. Jon jones has tested positive 3 times now, and you will most likely call him the "goat" hahahah You're a joe rogan black nut hugger, just admit it
@@ifgwelf he was but it’s also because of his amateur boxing career. Too many repeated blows to the head, regardless of how he looked at 125; he just can’t take big shots anymore
Just wondering who do you think would win the rematch? Cruz would completely win. Ever since Cody fought T.J. and lost both fights he's never been the same.
Cruz has no business fighting anymore. His knees are destroyed from surgeries. He can’t move like he used to. When I saw him get head kicked I was just like damn. Prime Cruz wouldn’t have let himself get caught like that but that’s the game man. He had a really good run.
@@jto3314 It is dope. Cody's fault is not physical or technical. Its what's between the ears. He has some of the best stats for speed and evasion but lowest stats possible in fight IQ since this fight. I think it broke him. I hope he turns it around, he's young enough. If Alistair Overeem could, so can Cody.
Dom was and still is my favorite fighter and the UFC. He was the best Bantamweight to ever do it. But Cody was a beast. His confidence, punching power and accuracy was just on another level…..I’ll never forget this fight I wish I saw a rematch right away. I gave Cody no shot at winning but he shut me up.
Watching this Cody train for the fight is amazing I really hope he makes a comeback please get a W same with till I hope he comes back too sad to see fighters I love lose.
I don't know how I've never viewed your channel before, but I'm glad I found it on this sleepless night. Very nicely edited highlights! I've enjoyed binge watching them! Thank you for the content.
Cody has always had the skills. All of his losses since have been clear tactical mistakes. He can def make a comeback if he starts fighting smart again
If Cody had shown this type of patience and defense while fighting Dillashaw I believe he would’ve definitely won those fights. TJ was living rent free in Cody’s head and he fought with no game plan.... In both matches with TJ he had pretty much zero head movement and went for a knockout with every hook....
This was such a legendary performance by Cody. I still have hope for him to revive his career. I know he likely won't come close to the belt again but hopefully he can get some more wins
Also, he can’t revive his career lol. He was trained to barely beat one fighter in Cruz.. he will get absolutely dismantled by merab, O’Malley, yan and aljo. He just literally has no chance. Sorry bro
I honestly think you guys just listened to joe Rogan, who is high 24/7, say “it was the best title challenger performance of all time” lol it wasn’t bro. Tj dillashaw vs barroa 1… I think you should watch that
Cruz had both his feet shot up to make them numb to get over the pain of standing. He already had alot against him that fight. Dom is a warrior. He's my favorite fighter. Pure badass.
If they were to rematch who do you think would win? I think Cruz would completely win. Unfortunately Cody's not been the same since he lost both fights against T.J Dillashaw. He just completely went down hill. I don't think Cody ever developed his fighting IQ.
shit they mine as well run it back🤷♂️ a fight that would get cody going and train, he’s on his last limb in mma such a sad downfall was and still is one of my favorite fighters. i always hoped and still do that he turns it around. cruz is still a solid contender and this fight could get him going too getting this one back from years ago would be a good feeling at this point in his career. love them both they both bantamweight legends 💪
I dont think newer fans understand how massive this was. Dom was the mastermind of arguably the best division at that point. Nobody rlly expected Cody to do what he did. And the ppl that did are liars
If I could choose one fighter for one fight to be the greatest performance ever it would be Cody that night he beat Cruz! End of discussion. That was the greatest performance I’ve ever witnessed.
cody really was one of those short kids in high school that would call any kid f-aggot every single day but would be scared of the jocks because he's shorter than tom cruise 😆and when they'd say f you he'd swing and miss and lose alot of fights lol. Dude has the biggest RISE AND FALL story in UFC history was the champ then lost to TJ then decided to just swing and not have any tactical striking and got knocked the fuck out alot switched weightclasses and now is just a journeyman all within like 5 or so years it's crazy how far he's slid they should call him NO GAMEPLAN now.
Man Dom was so sharp in the trash talk and just fell flat on his face on fight night if he would’ve pulled off a dominant win that would’ve been some of the best Trash Talk of all time
Cody 'No Dad' Garbrandt is a cautionary tale on men who are raised by single mothers. Zero control over their emotions and just a mess all round. Fathers need to stay in their kids' lives.
For one night, Cody seemed like the greatest fighter in the world.
I agree
I don't think anyone before or since has felt the way Cody did that night against Dom. Beat him up from pillar to post and dominated the dominator.
It wasn't "seemed", it just was. And that's one more night than most fighters ever get to be. Bantamweight legend
Lol. I think a lot of people thought he was great after that performance but it's not so. This sport is just weird Cody gets battered twice by Tj dillashaw and Cody beats Dominic convincingly and then Dominic out classes Tj. That shouldn't b the case yet it is.
I would love to hear Dominic explain what he thinks went wrong in this fight
By far my favourite UFC performance of all time.
The confidence, the momentum and the electricity was just wild.
Real shame about Cody. I still dont miss any of his fights hoping to see this version of him again.
He’s only had like 3 in like 2 years and he’s lost 2 of 1.. His next fight he’s going back to 135 so let’s hope he’s determined like he used to be..

"Fight every future opponent like you are fighting Dominick Cruz." My advice to NoLove after seeing this video.
Cody has no chin anymore lol

Thanks Larone for once again posting a oldie but a goodie!! I appreciate you!

Complete and utter domination. Garbrandt giving cruz what he deserves

spoiling us with all these uploads brother
keep these coming man
Cody was on another level this fight. But, the way Dom handled the lose is even more impressive.
Cody won by a single round.
You make really good content. Keep it up 👍
For one night only. We witnessed greatness.

This is the only ufc fight I’ve ever attended. I was sitting in the nosebleeds, and so tired and drunk that I thought it was a robbery when Cody won 😆
Larones videos always slap cheers bro
YEEESSSS!!! Finally thank you Larone
His peak. We watched this man peak on live tv. Amazing performance
RIP Benny Harvey
GBNF, So long big fella
Cody has always had the skills. All of his losses since have been clear tactical mistakes. He can def make a comeback if he starts fighting smart again
lol his ko losses are all the exact same sequences bro. The guy has an african level iq
135 division simply became too full of killers not long after this fight
That division from 2017-now is so stacked straight killers from 1-15
If Cody had shown this type of patience and defense while fighting Dillashaw I believe he would’ve definitely won those fights. TJ was living rent free in Cody’s head and he fought with no game plan.... In both matches with TJ he had pretty much zero head movement and went for a knockout with every hook....
Tj is a better fighter than Cody. TJ was the complete package bro. Wrestling, muy thai, amazing footwork, head movement, and power

Cody was right, that was the best 25 minutes of his life
we need leon vs usman next keep it up videos are 🔥

It’s BACK
For once Rogan was wrong… there’s no way that headbutt caused that cut on Cruz’s eye.

Extraño a este cody 😓
Specifically in this fight cody had some of the best head movement ive ever seen in my life

“Mine as well” 😂😂😂 remedial.
Dominik cruz is a hall of famer for sure
Cody Garbrandt is a true fighter. Love him or hate his personality he wears his heart on his sleeve. Also top 3 fastest hands I’ve ever seen in mma.
Sucks that Dom absolutely destroyed Cody in the trash talking aspect, but ended up losing the fight.
No. It doesn't.
Hoe does it suck Dom was talking out of his ahh and got danced on😂
One of the craziest performances I’ve ever watched. Cody peaked here
I dont think newer fans understand how massive this was. Dom was the mastermind of arguably the best division at that point. Nobody rlly expected Cody to do what he did. And the ppl that did are liars
I always said Cody could beat Dom, but I was thinking more of a split decision, close fight sort of thing loool
“What’s up peewee” ffs😂
That fight was so great Dominick stayed standing until after the press conference cause he got sat down so many times during the fight.
another example of time being the undefeated gatekeeper
Was never a big fan of Uriah as a fighter but he's such a good coach and friend , the vibe at Alpha male seems like family
If I could choose one fighter for one fight to be the greatest performance ever it would be Cody that night he beat Cruz! End of discussion. That was the greatest performance I’ve ever witnessed.
21:56 the first wild fury Cody has thrown that would eventually be his downfall
This is one of the greatest title contender performances of all time
In an alternate universe Cody did a performance like this and went on to beat TJ and establish himself as the undisputed bantamweight GOAT.
Anyone know what the green stuff at 12:15 is? I know he puts epsom salt, but what’s the green liquid?
Cody was really emoting out there
cruz was more worried about his dog then the fucking fight hahaha
14:22 “ who da fockk is that guy “
Too bad Dom got injured in 2012 and was out for many years. He would have been one of the most dominant title defenders of all time.
