Honestly it’s irritating. He NEVER evolved his skills. He has great physical attributes but just kinda plateaued and that’s not something you can do in his weight class
Cody's a lot slower these days. At least he had his time in the sun. When he was great, he was great. It's the bittersweet thing about MMA. A fighters prime is like a blip in time.
@@excelsiusprimepeople like you only exist to hand us fast food in the drive through after a night out . Other than that , not really much that you offer the world tbh .
Bro he is literally coming back. He is actually a lot faster than O’Malley. Do not know why he would go down to 125. He definitely is still champion material.
And everyone and their mama was on Erceg just after 2 fights Edit: I meant to add but was forgetting how I wanted to word it, Still massive respect to Erceg and I hope he bounces back
Cody is so underrated tech wise. Its his glass jaw. He'd be an excellent coach. Like Tim Welch. Not excellent as a fighter, but explosively knowledgeable about the sport.
Man Cody was using fight IQ. He saw the double jab feint and stood looking at him for the cross to come. This actually was a better showing from him regardless of the result
I love to see Kai win, since seeing him on tuf I’ve always liked how he has a kind soul and used to be bullied for being small. He doing trash talk much and barely talks at all at pressers but he’s a warrior and I think he can beat pantoja
Cody has never the fight IQ, he was good very fast and entertainment. But very stupid fighter that almost never protect his head and always trow hands with no controle. He is a easy money for most opponents.
Yeah everyone always used to talk about him having a terrible chin.. his chin is fine he just stands in front of guys swinging for the fences with his chin in the air
Garbrant was one of the quickest fall from graces I've seen. Dude had like 3 fights that made him look incredible. Then for some reason he couldn't bring that old Garbrant back. It was so cool when he won the belt and gave it to the kid to wear who was overcoming leukemia I think it was.
I know Cody’s been having a tough run lately, but people seem to forget him when he was on his steam roll run. The way he did Dominick Cruze…. His speed was first class.
I’ve liked Dan through his lows. Dude missed glory by inches and half seconds. String of bad luck. I know he’s put the work in. Most people are just now seeing his dedication and skill in the sport. Dudes a real level of the game. Respect
Cody Garbrandt is a phenomenal fighter when he is on. In the last few years he has seen a dramatic change in his MMA career. Injuries, personal issues, new crop of young, hungry warriors. That's a lot to adjust to.
Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy. Guy had the performance of his life, and then his ego went undefeated to this very day. He's still not learned a thing.
I mean once you take a couple of KOs you’re never the same again. It is truly sad to see in many great fighters including Cody. The brain just can’t keep up with all the damage.
What Kai must have felt. Boom. And for that matter what Dan felt living through Kai and knowing what its like to feel that feeling .. Boys High on life in that momento l😊
Kai Kara is a beast I read a lot of comments about Erceg putting him away before their fight and he put Steve away made it look easy bro their feening for Kai to faint 😂
Almost everyone KO'S Cody. He's damaged goods. Let's see how he does with top contenders in their prime. If he does it again, then he'll earn everyone's respect.
Dan Hooker in the corner , never knew he had a coaching role that’s dope 💯 hangman by knee tomorrow btw 💯
@Jdr-j5phe is a coach
@Jdr-j5p only trusted people are usually accepted as corner men/women? .. by the fighter... it is not for everyone
Hangman gets ragdolled
But where is Zuck
good advice to feint too, luckily he doesnt apply it to his fights and just blocks with his head and punch back XD
dan is a very good , calm and calculated coach, that's surprising considering the punishment he takes in his fights
I was just about to comment this lol. Very calm, still giving Kai advice in the wild moments.
Yeah you’d never know lol
He was running a gym for yrs while he was still active in ufc. His prodigy tauzemup ( Aaron Tau ) will be in the ufc mark my words should be already.
It's often easier to give advice than take one's own
Everybody has a plan until they get punch in the face. It's not easy at all that's why I respect professional fighters a lot.
Really sad to see how quickly Cody declined. Wasn’t a big fan of his back in the day, but he’s become a lot more of a humble personality these days
Cody vs jourdain would be cool
Getting pushed into a bed wetting state on live TV will humble a man I presume. I agree with your take on him tho
Honestly it’s irritating. He NEVER evolved his skills. He has great physical attributes but just kinda plateaued and that’s not something you can do in his weight class
he stopped drinking with the boiz
And alot more technical.
Cody's a lot slower these days. At least he had his time in the sun. When he was great, he was great. It's the bittersweet thing about MMA. A fighters prime is like a blip in time.
Yea but he did get dropped before he could do anything
An absolute blip. That’s why you get trash talk so they can earn more.
He was great for one fight. 😂
@@excelsiusprimepeople like you only exist to hand us fast food in the drive through after a night out . Other than that , not really much that you offer the world tbh .

That last 3 punch combo that sat him down was beautiful
I love the “ come at me, bro” when you’ve been dropped three timesalready.
This guy had one magical fight, and he never found it again
He basically trained years for that fight, Cruz destroyed all his team mates at alpha male so he was programmed to just beat cruz
Lovely duck from Cody, into the double leg 🔥
still remember him doing that move against Cruz on the best night of his life.
COdy has the highest highs and lowest lows
no inbetween
Into a KO 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
telling kai to come at him then shooting straight away? what a loser
"so, you're a wrestler now"
It would have been fire 🔥 had he not got flatlined
That was a Great Ko!
Bout knocked his nose off 😂
Yeah, right, like this is the 1st time Coby has been KO'D 😅. That dude is damaged goods.
Kai hits too hard to stand and trade with him. He just flattened erceg. Crazy
And everyone and their mama was on Erceg just after 2 fights
Edit: I meant to add but was forgetting how I wanted to word it, Still massive respect to Erceg and I hope he bounces back
Cody is so underrated tech wise. Its his glass jaw. He'd be an excellent coach. Like Tim Welch. Not excellent as a fighter, but explosively knowledgeable about the sport.
Explosively knowledgeable?
😂😂😂😂
That’s why he walked into tjs right hand 3 times in a row 😂
I know everyone hates Izzy at the moment but that gym has had some fantastic fighters.. and still are fighting.. Izzy,Hooker,Kai,Ulberg
You forgot the fucking conqueror, Alexander
Not even a mention of Volk
I did forgot Volk my bad 😂😂😂 I will try and use the excuse of he doesn’t train out of there full time
@@crookieee DDP as well
@@fallenIights really? In New Zealand? I thought they trained once in Thailand
Garbrandt’s fight IQ was always interesting, to say the least
Pretty sure a honeybaked ham has more cage awareness than Cody
This clip shows him actually thinking when he recovers, stands up high to bait the right hand, and then he lands the takedown.
Kai France has dynamite in his hands for his weight class Fr.
Telling him to come forward and then take down was actually genius. Give him time to recover. But didnt last i guess 😂
This was pure gold! Great coaching coming from that corner! Not to mention the reads Kia Kara made in every right moment! Closed the show like a BOSS
"It'll come again! Don't rush it!"
🔥🔥🔥
Sick
Kai kara France so underrated he will be champ one day. Funny how cody wanted to fight sean o'Malley bet cody dont want that now
Dan is lowkey one hell of a coach, he’s been in kais corner before and gives him solid advice
Thanks for your super cool opinion
Damn Hangman’s a very decent corner man, love that
Garbrandt vs right overhands.
Same scene, same result
Kai said fuck the feint
Man Cody was using fight IQ. He saw the double jab feint and stood looking at him for the cross to come. This actually was a better showing from him regardless of the result
Dan when his teammate gets brutally KO'd: 😁
Dan when his teammate KO's his opponent: 😐
‘And a knockdown for the Kiwi!’ Legendary call out from Jon Anik ❤
Beautiful, the way Kay was listening, that's the way to win
I never get tired of seeing Cody go down to the canvas!
It doesn’t matter how.
Hater!!;;;
Weird to hate on someone you don't know and somebody who doesn't know you exist
Love how Cody says bring it on then gets dropped😂😂😂
The timing on the straight right as soon as cody went for a leg kick was too perfect. Not gonna say that was luck. 👀
Quiet amateur
Lovely corner work from Dan ‘midlife crisis’ Hooker, a coaching career awaits 😃
😂😂😂 haha defs got it in em
Mid life crisis? Hahaha take a good look at yourself brother 🤣🤣🤣
Bro has a coach route or commentator route. I believe Jon Anik recommended Dan for the role
I love to see Kai win, since seeing him on tuf I’ve always liked how he has a kind soul and used to be bullied for being small. He doing trash talk much and barely talks at all at pressers but he’s a warrior and I think he can beat pantoja

@@sus425it worked when he had that amazing speed at 25 yrs old
Kai Kara Is a beast. Never betting against the man ever again
Kara France is a savage 💪🔥💯
The composure of Dan Hooker is the real highlight of this video. 😅
Props to Cody for having a steel jaw and scoring a takedown mere seconds after getting knocked down.
Great advice by Hooker there, and incredible technique and presence of mind from KKF to largely heed that advice in the heat of the moment.
Garbrant was one of the quickest fall from graces I've seen. Dude had like 3 fights that made him look incredible. Then for some reason he couldn't bring that old Garbrant back. It was so cool when he won the belt and gave it to the kid to wear who was overcoming leukemia I think it was.
Brain trauma
Great coaching with a cool head in the heat of the moment salute to Hooker!
Great cornering and great finish
I remember my old boss saying cody woukd beat seans O'Malley ass. God that aged so well
Your old boss a casual?
@@rodjjt7742 nawh I was, if you said Sean beat anyone in the top 15 back in 2019 you were definitely a casual, I can admit that
@@GGGame72749Technically you weren’t, because you were right. It’s not a casual opinion if it’s true dude
Kai is really that good! 👊🏽
The Hangman is that dude, ice cold gang
UFC 269. If I remember right. December 2021. Oliveria vs Poirier headlined. Nunes Vs Pena 1 co main.
I know Cody’s been having a tough run lately, but people seem to forget him when he was on his steam roll run. The way he did Dominick Cruze…. His speed was first class.
13 first round finishes for that little warrior, sick!
Dan and kai kara tough mfs! 🇳🇿😎💪🏾👌🏾❤️
that was beautiful combination , i love this sport
So many instructors/coaches yelling punch this kick this etc and he is yelling feint gotta love it
Coach knows when it's over... He is so locked in...
To do that to Cody is special, Cody is a beast!! 😮
Out of all the fights that night, of course I had to miss this one 😭
Yeah that's what,a true great fighter, does they exercise patience!!🎉🎉❤🎉🎉
Cody is all heart, but no brain ❤❤❤ love him
I’ve liked Dan through his lows. Dude missed glory by inches and half seconds. String of bad luck. I know he’s put the work in. Most people are just now seeing his dedication and skill in the sport. Dudes a real level of the game. Respect

Bro, this guy is sooo gifted
5'4 with a freaking 69 reach, nd huge KO power
14 Knockouts in his carrer, man that's a LOT for a 125er
Dan Hooker coaching: 😦
Dan Hooker fighting: 😝😂
Cody's like maybe I should've danced more? 🤔🤷♂️😁
Both played well🔥🔥🔥🔥
Future champions
I did NOT know Dan was in KKF's corner, nor did I realize he was that good of a coach
Lmfao telling kai faint while he's in kill mode is like telling Ronda head movement while she's in getting killed mode 😂
It's bcoz he's MAORI BRO! 💪🏽💯
Nz Mana good work bro 🎉
Cody gesturing kai to "come here" while he continues to run away is hilarious 😂 cody is a cocky joke of a fighter
I love Cody’s gameplan. Leave your chin open and try to land first 😂😂😂
Cody taunting after getting knocked down twice😂
This is why I love MMA now more then ever because it’s international fighting from all sides of the globe 🌎
You know you got nothing when you keep taunting your opponent
Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy.
Guy had the performance of his life, and then his ego went undefeated to this very day. He's still not learned a thing.
KKF has some serious power
Kodi pudo ser el mejor
Pero lamentablemente aún sigue luchando sin ganar mucho
Gran talento
That lead left is wild.
These CKB guys and their feints😂😂
Darn Cody blocked all the punches with his face. 😂😂😂😂😂
Nice composure Dan, you knew it was not finished until it was.
Cobra Kai Kara France
Cody was at the top of his class at one point now he’s get KO’d like he’s just taking L’s now
I mean once you take a couple of KOs you’re never the same again. It is truly sad to see in many great fighters including Cody. The brain just can’t keep up with all the damage.
@@therisingsun4828Ik just like Tony ferguson
I enjoyed more watching the hangman be a coach haha faint faint!! It’ll come! BAM knock out lol
Cody’s story is kinda sad cuz he had the most beautiful fight performance ever against Dominick Cruz ..then never fought well again rly
Абсолютное хладнокровие, чтобы так совладать с обуревающими тебя эмоциями... трижды пришлось ронять, невероятная выдержка и самоконтроль
What Kai must have felt. Boom. And for that matter what Dan felt living through Kai and knowing what its like to feel that feeling
.. Boys High on life in that momento l😊
Bravo 💪💪
That defeated one is a true warrior.
Kara france is a beast..
Kai Kara is a beast I read a lot of comments about Erceg putting him away before their fight and he put Steve away made it look easy bro their feening for Kai to faint 😂
He's definitely next up for title shot
30th December cody is still undefeated
Good refereeing by Herb 🌿 he knew Cody can bang so he gave him the opportunity to 👏🏻
KKF is like a flyweight Dustin Porier
Damn Khamzat roasted Till lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂
Dan the calm in the storm
Imagine taking advice from Dan 'I cant win a fight' Hooker 😂😂
Ranked 5th on a 3 fight win streak in the UFCs hardest division what you smoking casual
Sad to see the for Cody. If the Cody that fought Cruz showed up he’d have never lost the belt.
Almost everyone KO'S Cody. He's damaged goods. Let's see how he does with top contenders in their prime. If he does it again, then he'll earn everyone's respect.
When Garbrandt foolishly let go of the body lock he secured after the double-leg takedown, he was DOOMED.
He puts hands on EVERYBODY
Dan might not he a great fighter , but he seems like a smart coach.
My life is exchange of blows, and I am in it Cody 😂
Dans a great coach ❤
