Cruz brains Cody's brawn

Prediction: wrong Cruz   wrong Decision  

I think Cruz's lack of REAL power will encourage Cody to take more chances, which will get him gassed alot sooner. Cruz is the best defensive style fighter sport has ever known. I see a ton of missed shots being thrown and as young as Cody is I see that playing a factor on him mentally. I would LOVE to say "Ok this is where Cruz is fixing to SCHOOL this kid"..but Cody's damn good.. a tad "straight lined" but hes damn good.. I still got Cruz in a decision.,.

Prediction: wrong Cruz   wrong Decision  

Greatest defensive fighter to ever be in the sport..I think he frustrates Cody for much of those 5 rounds and keeps his tank near empty for much of the 3rd,4th, and 5th

Prediction: wrong Cruz   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 4  

Cruz is going to be too wily for Garbrandt, he'll miss most of his shots and then wear himself out because he puts so much power behind them. I feel like Cruz has a chance to finish him in the later rounds (4 and 5) after he's gassed himself out. I think people sleep on Cruz's power, he dropped Faber multiple times at UFC 199.

Not sure it will be easy, I think Gabranth will drop Cruz one or two time but Cruz will do enought to win the other round and get the decision

Prediction: wrong Cruz   wrong Decision  

I think Cruz wants to fight Garbrandt now rather than once he's had a lot of experience. He will be fighting as undefeated fighters ordinarily do, more or less unaware of how they might lose. I see an easy decision for Cruz.

I think Cody is gonna be top 5 for a while, but Im not sure he has what it takes to defeat Cruz, if he can find him he can put him out but the same can be said of most of Cruz´s opposition. I think Cody is gonna feel frustrated and its gonna  open up by the third rd, and that´ll make Cruz job easier and he is going to glide to a dominant decision.

Can't wait for this fight. Hope Cruz ll take Cody to school for 5 rounds and make him look useless and ineffective so this kid will learn respect.

Cruz will outpoint Garbrandt like he does to everyone. I think Garbrandt got this fight too early and is not ready for it.
