Seems like it was just yesterday: Cody Garbrandt picking apart Dominick Cruz, peppering him with precise punches and viciously-timed dance moves for five perfect rounds.
It was a performance for the ages. No one had done that to Dom—a living legend in the sport—and few had claimed a UFC title in such spectacular fashion.
That Garbrandt was something special, a loud-mouthed, awe-striking knockout artist who had as much potential as he had tattoos. Even when he was wearing the UFC Bantamweight Champion belt, Garbrandt’s future shined brighter.
