  6. @3:10 I wish you would have ran the cruz/dillasaw duel bumping clip back another 2-3 seconds from where captions end and footage rolls. I know cruz spends a great deal of time nearly squared up or floating in between stances/levels of trunk flexion/weight distribution (all that jazz that makes him an outlier), but clip doesn't do the bump example in question justice when starts with cruz in a transitional non-concrete southpaw or orthodox stance…
    I"m not bitching… big fan ect ect…
    Just a thought… don't mind my rant, that's alpine being alpine xox

  19. Merry Christmas and thank you again BJJ SCOUT 🙂 Can we see a Max Holloway or a Khabib Nurmagomedov breakdown soon? Those fighters are red-hot in the media of late. Happy Holidays!

  27. Two shot to the head he is training him the other guy is thinking he is aiming my head I have to protect my head. Cruz identify that the guys is protecting his head and then target his body. Easy does it.

  28. Again Cruz moves right then left then right. This guy is reading Cruz movement like a open book he think. He dont know that Cruz wants him to read his pattern of movement and then exploit it to his advantage.

  31. My theory is that Cruz got lost in his own movement patterns against Cody. The pattern did nothing for him in that game Cody read his movement pattern as a open book.

  33. Dominick Cruz is a great fighter but he drops his hands alot when he is throwing combinations. If he keeps his hands up he would have a more professional looking boxing style.
