Dominick Cruz has the best MMA mind on the planet.. From striking to grappling, nobody was as technical as Dom in MMA at everything, except maybe GSP.. These 2 guys when they talk about MMA, you listen.

[@jerryrice8507]

Nah he succ

[@andrewvellos9735]

Great breakdown from Dom - as always.

Khalil and Cruz in the cult together lol

10/10 awesome video we need more Cruz with videos just like this

[@123-l5v1k]

Master class of breakdown

[@waynzignordics]

Excellent. Cruz should do these for every main event at least.

[@HOMELANDERarmenian]

Dominick make your own channel

[@matthatter93]

Rumor has it as soon as the cameras cut off Cruz fell to the ground with another injury

[@stevensullivan1664]

I hope this stupid comment was worth it, you are what is wrong with the Internet. Why would you take time out of your day to mock an athletes injuries in pursuit of his dream. Keep on climbing fake rock setups tho...

[@ryansearles6078]

Buff one

[@beaualoevv]

cruz the bantamweight goat. got fluke ko’d by a journeyman and everyone forgot.

[@mixitel947]

@@beaualoevvits horrible to see. And dom was winnjng before chito fluked him

[@beaualoevv]

@@mixitel947yeah ):

[@KrisAdamsTV]

Dom is so smart with MMA tactics! Thanks for doing this :)

[@KrisAdamsTV]

Also, give some love for that dude who is clearly a training partner of Dominic Cruz. Cos Dom just looks at him to tell him to do the next move while talking to the audience. They must have trained together a lot to get that understanding.

[@ayo30s]

No Doubt!!! 👊🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸

[@ayo30s]

@@KrisAdamsTV True That!!! 👊🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸

[@JayLee-od8ob]

When Rountree tries the knee kick the bouncing AP is watching for it and is going to make it slide off and have Rountree fall his weight towards Alex and Alex will counter with the left uppercut/hook and it's all over.

[@RattlesnakeMilkfarm]

Thanks for these! Informative.

[@JBreezzBeatz]

This was a great watch!!

[@KrisAdamsTV]

Jumping back into this video to say I thought Khalil might grab this victory. But the way Alex was powering up towards the end of the fight was incredible. That man is some kinda fighting video game!

[@theprolificnetwork4670]

This breakdown is probably longer than the fight 😆

[@Lil_l.o.f.e...]

😂😂lol

[@davelipsiea1553]

Great analysis Dom.

[@donaldchin7205]

Dom's such a great MMa teacher/analyst. When he breaks down all the strategies of the fighters, its easy to digest and the brillances of these 2 fighters.

[@JavierMartinez-rz4vc]

Buen análisis 🙌🏻

[@joeyd.589]

Nobody is beating Pereira right now. Bet the freaking house on it! The only thing Rountree has is a sick last name.

[@nelsondu2333]

I don't know. I was watching that oblique kick and thinking about Pereira's age..Poatan favored for sure but Khalil's a live underdog. Poatan has talked about the injuries he's been fighting basically since he won the title, I'm sure one of the reasons he's fighting so frequently is even he knows at his age he only has so much time and fight/training minutes before his body gives out so he's collecting as much from PPV as he can while his body holds up. The stage he's in, any fight could be his last as an elite fighter-nothing against Pereira and I'm a fan, just how the sport works.

[@surf9ska]

This is masterclass and needs to be mandatory for Cruz every fight night

[@drich2579]

That was a great break down! I’ll definitely be looking to see those knee stomps from Khalil

[@kayodeijila1720]

This man is a great fight analyst… The greatest I have ever seen… Attention to the slightest details 100%

[@PepitoKin]

Wow best analysis Ive seen. Defenitely a legend of the sport and the best ufc commentator also.

[@edwardthegreat1382]

Dom and khalil part of the same cult

[@xkoan-yy7lg]

Magats are in a cult.

[@Heathennation1976]

so what

[@Tdubbz44]

Honestly, D Cruz is an MMA genius. I wish he made more videos.

[@allwecanseeisaboveusnow]

UFC content is getting way better

[@np494609]

Dom’s fight IQ is insane, he’s the best analyst the ufc has .

[@114D]

More Cruz breakdowns please 🙏🏽

[@VladimirMiyazaki]

Watching fights in 6Ofps looks so much good.

[@Shooter_Mcgavin93]

Great breakdown

[@FontoLeaf]

Only the details the champs know great vid Dom

[@AnthonyGarcia-sy3yk]

Dominic, Dan Hardy , luke Thomas , whatever order you want to put always the best one ,, I like dominic a bit more because he actually does the movement so that is always nicer

[@karlricardo4088]

When Dan Hardy was able to use fight footage I found his breakdowns so informative. His enthusiasm for martial arts is infectious and his insights are great. Luke is also my boy. Shout out to Jack Slack too.

[@AnthonyGarcia-sy3yk]

@@karlricardo4088 Dan focus more in nuisance and little details, I didn't see jack as much , going to check out more from him .

[@Squidrito]

Luke is a fraud. Armchair expert.

[@CODMOBILEGAMRS]

If khalil moves well and counters good Alex will ko him in round 2

[@GorillaSanctuary]

The side kick to the knee is pathetic to do in my opinion.

[@EKk8819]

Cruz just broke this down better then most guys coach/team ever will..

[@Texmma]

Was waiting for this one

[@fabolousjada5070]

The whole video is Dom giving Khalil the plan 😂 his buddy

[@saadalikhan3031]

Its Nice to see intelligent and knowledgeable people like Cruz and Sandhagen actually Breaking down fights Instead of people like Antony Smith and Cejudo who would be like:”the thing you have to watch out for is the left hook!”

[@CaseyKCRichards]

and a new .. by Ko but not by punch but his secret that Dominic hinted on ❤

[@overtblowfish4439]

"He doesn't like that hand" 🤣

[@jacobflynn9939]

Great breakdown. I like both these guys, honestly wouldn't mind either winning, but Pereira is so much fun as champ. High activity and great finishes make a Hall of Fame champion.

[@Leyofuniversal]

Dominic Cruz is a legend 🔥🔥🔥🔥 greatest minds in MMA

[@Fredhamleclerc]

We won’t have Dan hardy breaking the fight for this one folks😂😂😂😂

[@xxmarvelknightxxgaming]

Khalil hand fighting is hilarious 😂

[@robsondeoliveiradeoliveira6811]

Poatan, The best of The best. 👊👊.Chama.

[@joshthemediocre7824]

Totally unbiased expert break down, surprising seeings how Dom & Khalil are in the same cult.

[@gumzo2509]

🌟 Huge praise for Dominick Cruz! 🙌 His breakdown of the light heavyweight title fight between Alex Pereira and Khalil Rountree Jr. was top-notch! 🥊🔥 So insightful and thorough!

[@liso6998]

Man those Khalil odds are more tempting now 😅

[@LaForce1notdone]

I honestly think it’s a 50 50 fight and ends within 2 rounds. Whoever gets touched first is gone.

[@trxppy.cartel3813]

Ok. So a lot of MMA media is predicting Alex Pereira to win, however, Khalil Rountree is a dangerous kickboxer and a seasoned UFC veteran. There is a clear path to victory for him. While Pereira is the more technical, high-level striker and is known for his devastating power, Rountree is more unpredictable and could end the fight with an unexpected knockout

[@woa4ever]

What's the lighting bolt on your shirt represent Cruz?

[@frankthetank819]

Awesome breakdown, I can see rountree knocking out Alex his mentality is different he’s hungry he’s been through so much came back from nothing and when you come from that you have nothing to lose. Alex is great but his weakness is his defense and gets hit a lot. Now Alex is facing a guy who’s stronger than him faster and more power. And Muay Thai dangerous you’ll see

[@MicheleHarrell-m6b]

Periera!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@Ike-Mi]

khalil might be the most explosive ufc striker alex fight so far. fast and powerful. dunno how he compare to alex previous kickboxing ops

[@deJuanX]

So tired of everyone incorrectly enunciating an "h" into this man's name just because it contrasts the spelling and therefore sounds/feels more "authentic". Also, it's probably a little easier and more fun to ignorantly mispronounce. I truly dislike people...sometimes💯

[@tigpowerleck998]

How will height and reach affect the fight? Rountree has been successful recently with new mui Thai style, but Alex is has multiple belts in kickboxing.

[@frankthetank819]

Rountree gonna shock the world let’s goooo smash time

[@Brownmumba8973]

I wonder is Khalil is going to wear down and exhaust Alex by letting him punches his face for three rounds before he attacks and executes his master plan 😂😂😂 Man every time I see Cruz that’s the first thing that comes to mind… that dummy’s analysis 😅😂

[@ZackDilon]

I think the ones who are going to win are: Pereira Pennington Bautista Holland Harrison

[@darcy3706]

I wish this fight was at sea level

[@savagescvngr4776]

Dominick Cruz the WEC goat. Fight for the title at 135.

it will be hilarious if roundtree shoots for takedowns out of nowhere😂

Lol he is making him tired by getting punched in the face. Legendary commentator dom cruz on commentary(khabib vs conor)

[@DropDeadDream]

Look up country roads Dream!

[@metalheadblues]

Alex left is like khabib wrestling. You know its coming but can't avoid it.

[@Doofster]

I doubt Khalil is going to wanna go to the fence. I feel he's going to try to counter pereria

[@KevinD-fr9sg]

Cant counter if you're sleeping. He needs to go for it, he's the smaller guy so it'll be harder to counter if alex keeps just out of his range

[@GoldStandardd29]

Alex Periera vs Cults

[@newchannel416]

Cruz rooting for his cult brother😂😂😂😂😂

[@omnipotentaus]

Somebody explain this cult everyone is talking about Khalil and Dom being apart of, like details please, not just they're in a cult.

[@fabolousjada5070]

They do weird stuff to the people that go there

[@solo-tea]

Pereira is tough but i think rountree is going to defeat him regardless.

[@Mmastrikes205]

Khalil by ko Want Pereira to win though

[@geesung4444]

Exact opposite for me. P by KO. Want K to get the win though.

[@bobsagett]

Dom could make another run with Pereira’s style

[@rockverso55]

Pereira, not "Pereria ". Chamem a atenção do estagiário. 😉

[@newoldskool9737]

where’s Cejudo

[@Theodore_ML]

This might be Alex's easiest defense

[@AlanSchildroth]

So, no karate!

[@adamska2012]

Doms not the best Alex stand in, he's like 3 feet shorter than Pereira

[@Ziggyvu]

Wow what a great and insightful observation. We’re all smarter for reading that

[@geesung4444]

you sound like a hater. but hate only comes from below. you must be short. lol

[@theprolificnetwork4670]

Izzy knocked Alex out but Alex couldn't put Izzy away. He got no Respect for that. Izzy has lost some battles as Champ and is still underrated.

[@nvndoC]

alex already put him out cold before the ufc

[@newchannel416]

Gynosanya is actually overrated as f. Not even top 5 in Pereiras KB wins.
