Cody Garbrandt håller inte tillbaka när han bemöter kritiken från Dominick Cruz. Den obesegrade slagskämpen gjorde nyligen något ovanliga uttalanden om sin kommande motståndare.
Nu är det bara två dagar kvar innan bantamviktarna Cody Garbrandt (10-0) och den regerande mästaren Dominick Cruz (22-1) kommer att stå öga mot öga. ”The Dominator” Cruz har länge haft en rivalitet med det träningsläger som ”No Love” Garbrandt representerar och nu kommer det på nytt att göras upp.
HETAST JUST NU
Inför den efterlängtade fighten har båda slagskämpar varit i luven på varandra ett antal gånger och nästan rykt ihop backstage. Det är uppenbart att de inte tycker om varandra och i en nyligen gjord intervju med Fight Society så förklarade ”No Love” varför han kommer att vinna:
“He’s got that job at FOX, good for him, he’s a good commentator. But he’s getting ready for the next chapter of his life, it’s evident. He knows. He knows that he is getting ready for the next chapter of his life without the belt. When you’re thinking of that already and you’ve got a savage in front of you like myself, that’s been grinding to take this from you, grinding so hungry – There’s that saying, the wolf at the bottom of the mountain is more hungry than the wolf at the top.
“He just can’t fathom that I went from unranked to fighting him in the same year. I went from unranked to world champion. He’s about to lose it all. He’s feelings the pressure. He’s talking all this s**t, he knows that his time is up. He’s already getting ready. You see his posts about how he didn’t need the belt, he realized he didn’t need the belt to be happy, so he’s getting ready for that next step. I can applaud him for that, he’s getting ready to step down and give me my belt. He kept it polished for me this whole year. I’m very thankful for that. He took care of it and I can’t wait to give it to Maddox.”
Han avslutade med att jämföra sig själv med en haj men gav det hela en ovanlig twist:
”It’s like a shark when it smells blood and I smell blood all over that pussy.
I have one more man in my way. One more man that is a fucking busted up, crippled, decrepit old man trying to stand in my way… I am going to be world champion. You can put 10 Dominick Cruz’s in front of me, I’ll knock them all out. 10 out of 10.”
Cause you're not a real man until you get a little blood on your sword 🗡🍣 https://t.co/s5iFJU8yKz
