[@wideopenthrottl]

Cody Garbrandt vs Dominick Cruz might've been a cleaner dominant performance for a big upset in a title fite. Not as big of an upset since Cruz was only -227 favorite, but he was long considered the GOATof that division. Izzy hadn't surpassed Anderson Silva's shadow yet so few consider him the middleweight GOAT. For fans of De'Sean Strickland it wasn't as big of an upset since we knew he had the tools to win. Especially after 30-26ing him in the press conferences leading up to the fight. Izzy beat himself mentally after being exposed online and then got booed hardcore in his own area of the world. I honestly thought De'Sean was going to win by mixing in a take-down or two. The fact that he won a pure striking battle against one of the supposed greatest MMA strikers of all time is perhaps the most shocking part.
