Best moments featuring Dominick Cruz & Cody Garbrandt in UFC 207
#UFC

[@fadikhousho7711]

For one night, Cody seemed like the greatest fighter in the world.

[@kyliesmith7903]

I agree

[@Wayf4rer]

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.

[@GlennyBoiiHD]

It wasn't "seemed", it just was. And that's one more night than most fighters ever get to be. Bantamweight legend

[@amarbhogal5244]

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.

[@amarbhogal5244]

I would love to hear Dominic explain what he thinks went wrong in this fight

[@user-oo8qg5in6l]

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.

[@DMV831]

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..

[@kyliesmith7903]

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.

[@loganmcdaniel9784]

@@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

[@hatemelboory7270]

[@oostangrauv9413]

For one night only, Cody was the best bantamweight to ever live.

[@Elmo914]

He unlocked ultra instinct, the flow state was strong af with him that night.

[@abrahamfarraj84]

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.

[@jesustapped]

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.

"Fight every future opponent like you are fighting Dominick Cruz." My advice to NoLove after seeing this video.

[@drunkenmmamaster419]

Cody has no chin anymore lol

[@DavidMarin-pt2wc]

@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

[@Eskify]

Amazing how the only top 5 fighter Cody ever beat was Cruz

[@cantucesar1988]

Cody was my guy, he was never the same after the first KO 😢

[@canadianbacon8220]

That is crazy

[@johngotti3487]

On arguably one of the greatest title challenges in UFC history 😭 against one of the slickest movers

[@Dre2665]

@@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

[@WarBrah]

Garbrandt brutally KOd Raphael Assunçao who was ranked 5th.

[@WolverineAndSloth]

that post-fight press conference by dom is iconic

[@rajasamra9543]

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

[@cristianlopez9684]

“Who tha fook is that guy” is all I can think of when I see Jeremy

[@guyhazlewood6088]

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.

[@ajcustodio4644]

I feel like a second fight is now possible between these two

[@Raghuveer2798]

The way Dom dealt with that loss was so amazing.

[@jeremybrown4489]

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

[@teamblackout1336]

Garbrandt was created to humble Cruz... The guy fought The perfect fight that night with a smile on his face. cheers Cody

[@Jay-wq6nb]

Imagine a rematch now, I think it would be a great fight!

[@kyliesmith7903]

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.

@@kyliesmith7903they both suck, but Dom sucks a little less.

[@Zaddy_Dynamite]

Cody would win again … it seems like Dom is the only person he trained to fight .

[@JustSendMeLocationPlease]

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.

[@user-nv2wt4hi8t]

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.

[@saljewsteinbergowitz]

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]

I mean, at 125 he was too depleted

[@jto3314]

@@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

Ever since Cody fought T.J. Dillashaw and lost both fights Cody hasn't been the same.

[@ericwhite9592]

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.

[@jesustapped]

@@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.

[@barryprince3249]

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....
