Cody Garbrandt Plans to Bring the Fight to Dominick Cruz

Cody Garbrandt spoke with MMAjunkie ahead of his fight with Dominick Cruz tonight at UFC 207. Some highlights are below:

On his plan for the fight: “I’ll bring the fight to him. If you look at his past fights when fighters brought a scrap to him – you know, a real fight – he had to revert to his wrestling. He’s going to find out he’s going to get discouraged in there, desperate, and he’s not going to be able to take me down. I’m a high-caliber wrestler, and he’ll find out early in the first round.”

On the matchup between them: “Just being a fan of the sport stylistically, you’ve got an evasive point fighter, and you’ve got a young savage in there that goes to look for the knock each each time.”
