The Natural Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Dominick Cruz dropped twice in the opening round but comes back to win taking the next two comfortably. Cruz's style is so unique with the movement, it's why I became a fan of his watching WEC then UFC. Still want Cruz vs. Jose Aldo in the battle of the Hall of Famers.

The Natural Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Accurate combo by Sean to stop the fight by first round KO. 15 wins, 11 by KO/TKO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Be interesting to see how Cody Garbrandt performs in his Flyweight debut, looked better on the scales than I expected. No Love's gone 1-4 in his last five, three by KO/TKO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Yeah Cody said he was doing this weight change the right way, and it looks it. Certainly looks like he has more energy just walking to the cage than he did against Font. If he drops Kara-France this division gets reeeeeally interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 That was the Kai Kara-France that I remember pre-UFC. That's what people felt he was capable of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post-championship flameouts in the UFC sort of fall between two categories - on one hand you've got people who stay talented for awhile but end up getting matched against killers, like Anderson, Weidman, Holm, Conor... Chuck? Penn? Then you've got people who just fell off a cliff a fight or two after losing the belt. Renan Barao. Johny Hendricks. Luke Rockhold. You've absolutely got to add Cody to that category.

The Natural Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) When I think of big fall from graces it's Renan Barao, Johny Hendricks, TJ Dillashaw going trying to become a simultaneous champion, failing pissing hot for EPO, Luke Rockhold, Cody Garbrandt, Chuck Liddell and BJ Penn.

John E. Dynamite Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I said to myself between rounds, "maybe Nunes gassed her arms out chasing that choke and Pena's gonna punch the shit out of her in the next round." I thought I was joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 Julianna Pena went from catastrophic, possible career ending leg injury to motherhood to undisputed UFC champion in a huge upset.
