Cody's head movement in that Cruz fight was masterful. Seemed like he wanted to prove a point on his path back to becoming champ he lost his fundamentals. My god that footwork and head movement was clean, if he can find that form again everyone should watch out
he's just born to beat Dominick Cruz, and also born to lose to TJ Dillashaw. funny enough that he's having an easy time on Cruz, while the one who KOd him twice can't even land a clean punch on Cruz. this is the Ali, Foreman, Frazier of UFC.
@Ali Abdelaziz definitely. I actually scored the Cruz vs Garbrandt 48-47 for Garbrandt. No doubt it was a brilliant performance by him, but Cruz' work was actually overlooked by how Garbrandt floored him down more than twice. Cruz actually made it competitive.
@Ali Abdelaziz Cruz is a hard man to beat on decision. Cody was the only one who managed to outpoint him, but it was because of the punching power difference hence why Cody was flooring him down almost over and over. Uriah and Henry are the only fighters who finished Cruz.
@IVEY 96 Exactly. Cody is better than his last couple fights. He was winning most of those fights until he got pissed and got reckless. First Cody and Tj fight for example, Cody was kicking his ass then got excited. Got sloppy and TJ capitalized.
The ufc bantamweight history is weird. Tj wins barao, Dom beats Tj, Cody beats Dom, Tj beats Cody, then triple midget comes and wins in like 30 seconds😂
Cody said he was in 'Flow state' in his fight against Dominick. The only way I can describe it is like being in a state of mind where you are fully relaxed, focused and in control. He felt like he could dodge all of Dom's punches and counter with ease.
The No Love title win was the single greatest performance by a Bantamweight ever, Dillashaw over Barao was crazy but Cody beating Cruz like that was unbelievable.
@@lukecasio9810 style on another fighter for over 5 rounds? Cruz won the first 2 rounds lmao what fight you guys are watching? Dominick Cruz was schooling Cody until the headbutt in 3rd round.

I guess that depends on what you like, but these dynamic movements, quick combos..that makes this division really special and an enrichment for the sport!
yes, but he also has serious problems in his defence, he always drops his left hand when loading on the right. TJ knocked him out twice with the same right hook when he was loading on the left.
@Hue WongNo you are wrong, it wasn't the loading that's flawed but the holes in his defence, his hands are down when he is loading standing in front of the opponent and it wasn't the speed or power of TJ that Dom didn't have which cost Cody the fights but TJ's timing and his coach's Ludwing's ability to find this hole and exploit it.
@Hue Wong it's not about if he was better he'd be better as this can easily be fixed under the right coach. On the emotional aspect idk man maybe he can get better with guidance but idk
@Mal Theri He's never been knocked out though, and the only tko loss on his record is very controversial. Before Cody, Cruz had never been knocked down much either.
@@benz431 i dont think its too late persay.. he's young and obviously talented. Just brawls off of emotions. I think he just needs to leave where ever he trains and work for greatness with better teammates

You'd think if you loved Cruz you'd listen to him when he constantly repeated over the past 6 years that ring rust is a myth. Maybe he had too many injuries and he's past his prime, but ring rust? nah

Cody's performance against Cruz was one of the best displays of MMA out there. His first fight with TJ wasn't awful either up until he lost. Then he gets emotional in the rematch and can't stay composed and then gets too eager and desperate to win a fight against his next opponent that he does the same thing. I think some time off to recollect himself and learn how to stay composed will allow him to go back to being a high level fighter
Khanh Do he cheated for the Henry fight and paid the price. If you think he was cheating the whole time, you’re admitting it’s possible usada isn’t catching everyone and you have no idea who’s cheating and just not getting caught like he was. It’s also a bit ignorant to completely write off his performances against Cody when EPO doesn’t make you a better fighter, it helps with Cardio and TJ finished Cody within the first 2 rounds both fights. Also, what’s your excuse for Cody getting worked by Pedro?
Kane K. He definitely cheated before, or else how did Cody accurately called it with him on EPO way before he was positive? The way Cody explained it, he knew of it when they were still teammates way back then, so was TJ ever a champ clean? I doubt it.
And you‘d know he‘d dump his sweaty balls right in your face and there would not be a thing you could do against it 😄 so you can talk as much as you want (as long as your breath smells like balls 😂)
Seriously you dudes don’t understand how important weight is, if you’re in good shape know how to punch and grapple a little and have over 40 pounds on these guys you’d demolish them all
That Cruz vs Jorgeson and against DJ in those WEC days was so fun to watch! Chip on his shoulder something to prove mean and big for the weight at the time but so tactical technical fast and elusive. Watching him go unorthodox one two head kick leg kick straight left under hook knee pick was a thing of beauty. I don’t think anyone flowed better them him mixing a well rounded skill set together offensively like that. Simply because the guys that could like Jones and Gsp weren’t as fast but were bigger and more powerful but seeing him do it with his Manny like angles and speed then mix a shot in was fucking awesome!
the more times I watch the cody cruz fight the closer it looks and the less mystical that cody becomes it seems like the cut and cruz's will to win played a major part. Cruz never looked bad in that fight going backwards and codys best moments coming from eating punches..
Cody had the potential to be a p4p great. Instead we got one of the most masterful performances in a championship fight to date, followed by immeasurable disappointment... (with the boys)
Ya it's pathetic how the UFC just allows these cheating scums too continue too get a shot at the belt SUCH A DISGRACE THEY SHOULD HAVE TOO START FROM THE BEGINNING
It's like watching your two little brothers fighting but instead of breaking it up you're impressed with both their fighting skills so you watch in awe lol That was an exceptional fight.
I don't care for the guy personally, but TJ's win over Barao has to be up at the top. Barao was undefeated at the time and was the heavy favorite in the fight. Flawless performance by Dillishaw.
Henry's run was unbelievable. Imagine the odds if somebody had told you prior to DJs defeat that Henry Cejudo (person that had lost before to DJ) would end DJ's champion streak (longest streak in UFC history), defeat TJ (Bantamweight Champ at the time) defeat Marlon ( who was on a 4 fight win streak with 1st round finishes) defeat Cruz (arguably one of the best Bantamweights ever) You would think he's Delusional. Odds of that would be 1,000,000/1
It's so crazy to think that this division used to be super looked down upon and there were no stars in it besides Urijah Faber lol. Now imo 135 is the toughest and most exciting division in the game next to 55.
Hard to say hes the best since he keeps losing, but his performance against Cruz was legendary. I was so sure he was gonna reign for a while after that, then he just crumbled... it was so wierd
I was at UFC 149 in Calgary when Faber fought Barão. Around round 3 or 4 they weren’t doing much. The crowd was booing hard. Then, these two drunks guys stand up and look at each other, point to each other, walk towards each other and then start throwing haymakers. It was wild! The crowd started cheering really loudly for the two drunk fans fighting. Faber & Barão thought it was for them, so then they started fighting a little bit harder. Hahaha, what a time. A memory I will always remember.
psyche cody was playing smart actually. Didn’t wanna go to the ground with cruz and didn’t wanna rush in thinking he’s hurt so he doesn’t get caught coming in. The dancing and taunting was just a distraction
That cody was in his own league but he is too hot headed now even in tj fight he dropped tj but went reckless again and lost even pedro cody should have fought smart he has a chin but use his iq more than just punching and get back with his old striking coach
God damn Cody was truly doing some magic the night he became champion.
@Pompous Psycho was that the night he got the belt?
@Pompous Psycho you think you're cool just changing the subject and talking about useless stuff?

@@quarohnholliday don't bother

I would love to see that rematch.
Cody and TJ both hold claims. TJ was a nobody mainly known for getting heem’d by Dodson at the time with little to no hype. Dominated Barao
Dominick cruz 24 victory
He would have went on a tear if wasn't such an emotional fighter.
Cody 'flow state' garbrant
The fact that Dom came out of injuries after years and schooled EPOshaw shows his greatness. He will go down as one of the GOATs

At this point it isn't even debatable that he's the greatest Bantamweight of all time.

I don’t think anyone flowed better them him mixing a well rounded skill set together offensively like that. Simply because the guys that could like Jones and Gsp weren’t as fast but were bigger and more powerful but seeing him do it with his Manny like angles and speed then mix a shot in was fucking awesome!
Faber's accomplishments in the WEC are absolutely just as impressive as any bantamweight UFC champion -- without a doubt.
It's a nice thing the bantamweights are sharing the belt with eachother so everyone gets a turn 🤣
I always love when Henry does his bear cub face. Hilarious!
God damn a clear Cody carbrandt is on another level
Was! WAS!
Betting that was an epo performance
5:28 greatest performances in the ufc history
bow wow absolutely, wonder what happened to him
If Dom wins he’s the goat? 🐐
@UFC Free fights Wtf, no he isn't. Not even close dude.
@UFC Free fights 135? I thought we were talking pound for pound. Yeah, 135 is Cruz, could've easily been Garbrandt though.
@@H.K.5 Petr Yan might be the goat since hes an amazing striker with power
@@galaxyvulture6649 True. He beat Aldo who is a legend.
Dom wins what? He's a loser that smells like alchohol & cigarettes
the more times I watch the cody cruz fight the closer it looks and the less mystical that cody becomes it seems like the cut and cruz's will to win played a major part. Cruz never looked bad in that fight going backwards and codys best moments coming from eating punches..
Cody had the potential to be a p4p great. Instead we got one of the most masterful performances in a championship fight to date, followed by immeasurable disappointment... (with the boys)
Top Cody is a joy to watch. I hope we'll see him again after his last splendid KO victory.
2:29 'you don't know were the jab is comin from'
Me in my head: idk maybe from his FUCKIN HAND
I'm such an idiot 😂😂😂
the fact that Cruz is all over this video AND the fact that hes the CoMain event in this weekends bouts speaks to his goatness
Imagine them putting Aljo in the video lol
6:19 Cody the man
It’s so hard to validate tj’s win over Cody after popping for EPO
Ya it's pathetic how the UFC just allows these cheating scums too continue too get a shot at the belt SUCH A DISGRACE THEY SHOULD HAVE TOO START FROM THE BEGINNING
Brilliant showcase of all the champs. Should do this for all the weight classes!
Barao was so excited, i loved his reaction
6:27 Ultra Instinct unlocked
Well after watching all of those, one thing is for sure. Tomorrow night is going to be epic! Dom vs Cejudo for the BW Title. I’m excited!!
Bruh dom is still the greatest bantamweight ever his footwork not the same after the injuries but let's keep it 1000 he was n kinda is the greatest
you can tell whenever Dana is happy whenever he wants to win.. he always smiles whenever putting the belt on.
Crazy how good Cody was in that Cruz fight looking back. He suddenly turned into Anderson Silva it was something else
5:10 Dom holding an empty Monster can here still, how times have change
6:30 man what happened to this cody
He met right hook EPO
His emotions came into it especially with TJ 'EPO boy' Dillashaw. He fucking hated him and saw him as a judas.
Lmao that EPO really got me
It's like watching your two little brothers fighting but instead of breaking it up you're impressed with both their fighting skills so you watch in awe lol That was an exceptional fight.
It’s just that his chin is made of glass so he’s either knocking people out or getting knocked out
The disgust in Danas face when he sees Renan screaming like a girl lmao
Much love from Albuquerque New Mexico!
I don't care for the guy personally, but TJ's win over Barao has to be up at the top. Barao was undefeated at the time and was the heavy favorite in the fight. Flawless performance by Dillishaw.
"Fling on a string yeah."
Dominique Cruz is amazing but I can’t see him getting the win over Cejudo ring rust or not
Henry's run was unbelievable.
Imagine the odds if somebody had told you prior to DJs defeat that Henry Cejudo (person that had lost before to DJ) would end DJ's champion streak (longest streak in UFC history),
defeat TJ (Bantamweight Champ at the time)
defeat Marlon ( who was on a 4 fight win streak with 1st round finishes)
defeat Cruz (arguably one of the best Bantamweights ever)
You would think he's Delusional. Odds of that would be 1,000,000/1
This was a great video. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It's so crazy to think that this division used to be super looked down upon and there were no stars in it besides Urijah Faber lol. Now imo 135 is the toughest and most exciting division in the game next to 55.
I think Cody is the best fighter in the division, but he's an idiot.
Dom really brought out the best in him. Hope dom outclasses Cejudo.
Hard to say hes the best since he keeps losing, but his performance against Cruz was legendary. I was so sure he was gonna reign for a while after that, then he just crumbled... it was so wierd
I'm not gonna lie I have never seen Urijah Faber win a fight, ever.
No goat Aljo?
Awsome video man so cool evolution
I was at UFC 149 in Calgary when Faber fought Barão. Around round 3 or 4 they weren’t doing much. The crowd was booing hard. Then, these two drunks guys stand up and look at each other, point to each other, walk towards each other and then start throwing haymakers. It was wild! The crowd started cheering really loudly for the two drunk fans fighting. Faber & Barão thought it was for them, so then they started fighting a little bit harder. Hahaha, what a time. A memory I will always remember.
Was that TJ winning by TKO or EPO?
Howzer The man he’s tested negative for the last 5 fights he only fought dirty in Cejudo fight so tj won by tko if that’s what you were asking
David Targos cody fans cry about it to this day
Let's go dom!!!!
@UFC Free fights haha my heart hurts leave me be
Dom will bend the knee to Triple C!!! 🥇
@@Toxic_Glich944 we will see tomorrow buddss
Do people really think that dillashaw was cheating the whole time?
You know how it is with these casuals; if a fighter gets caught the 1st time, then they did it their whole career. Its really stupid.
Well USADA tested all his samples and they found EPO only in the Cejudo fact
Fight*
love Dom's story one of the best comebacks
2:01 dude acting like he just got an N64 for Xmas
But did you know Henry has a gold medal??🤣
If Cody wasn’t acting like a fool by taunting him he would have finished him.
psyche cody was playing smart actually. Didn’t wanna go to the ground with cruz and didn’t wanna rush in thinking he’s hurt so he doesn’t get caught coming in.
The dancing and taunting was just a distraction
Kannyrado TV I respectfully disagree, it’s not like Cruz is a submission specialist, and Cody literally took him down early on in the fight.
@@psyche3565 I see your point but maybe Cody wasn't comfortable with the ground game. Plus he was doing well standing up.
TJ’s titles should be stripped because he’s a cheater, it doesn’t count
Ok then, Silvas shouldn't, Jon Jones, Lesnar etc. I can keep going
That's not how it works. He didnt test positive for those fights. Only the Cejudo one.
Cejudo's heart is probably unmatched in the UFC
I don't think I've ever seen a fighter walk through the fire like he did in that Marlon fight
nah, Frankie Edgar's heart is the most unmatched heart in UFC history and arguably in combat sports as well.
Dom's movement always fun to watch. Will always be one of my favorites.
That cody was in his own league but he is too hot headed now even in tj fight he dropped tj but went reckless again and lost even pedro cody should have fought smart he has a chin but use his iq more than just punching and get back with his old striking coach
