It’s a rare night when Dominick Cruz is the second-best counter-fighter in the cage, but that’s what happened when he met Cody Garbrandt.
The bantamweight title bout was the co-main event of today’s UFC 207 event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
Cruz (22-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) entered the fight as the champion and a puzzle few opponents have ever been able to come near solving. Garbrandt (11-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) fought a patient fight, keeping distance and tagging Cruz with hard punches throughout the bout.
Garbrandt scored multiple knockdowns on his way to becoming the new bantamweight champion by scores of 48-46, 48-46 and 48-47.
