I thought the stoppage was on the early side but what can you do? Cruz got timed and hit by the knee, kinda sucks seeing your favourite fighter starched like that but ultimately that's just how it goes.
Naw it was the knee, he timed it perfectly and was looking for it the entire fight. Credit to Cejudo I thought he was going to get styled on but he has now beat:
Also, he finished 3 of the 4.
Dominick Cruz
Marlon Moraes
T.J. Dillashaw
Demetrious Johnson
I get you man and fair enough but his bladed stance will probably not produce many knockouts at all, and there's a reason why you don't see that stance in boxing much or at all i.e no kicks.
I like you both as posters so I'm not gonna take sides, mainly because of 90% of the reading.
As for the rest, I'll bring the lube, see you boys Sunday.
I disagree that you have to KO people with both hands to be the greatest puncher. His style is designed to lead people into his left hand. His hand traps, kicks, and feints are all designed for one thing, his left hand.
Also what does kicking even have to do with him being the greatest puncher...
I kinda agree with this actually. The only thing I disagree with you is that. First, those fighters you listed have the good enough footwork to beat Cruz. And secondly, that footwork and fast hands alone were enough to beat Cruz. I for one think Cody's head movement played a massive role in that...
Let's not go that far. I would say Bas could hand with Mirko and Fedor. I mean I think Fedor would tap him or just decision him and I think Cro Cop would send his head into orbit but he would definitely be able to put up a good fight against the 2.
Yeah lol even Bas said he had no idea how the ground worked and even in his prime he was really easy to take down considering how much he squared up. He never really looked truly unbeatable.
Believe it or not Dana didn't like Cruz's fighting style much. I'm pretty sure they were banking on Faber/Barao/TJ winning. The big favours they really did him was the Faber v Cruz 3 and his fight vs Cody but I'm pretty sure they did that because Cody had a lot of hype and Faber's name had some...
