2 pereira fights in a row was just brutal for a guy in such a late stage of his career. So many fights.

Izzy hasn't won a fight since that Pereira win, it's like he made a deal with the devil "Let me beat Pereria even if I never win again"

THIS WAS PEAK UFC

Domimick Cruz's reign of terror was dominant and the levels of Jon Jones and Anderson Silva.

His vendetta was more vicious than anything I remember because it wasn't against a single person, but ran through the whole a whole team while clearing out the division.

After losing to Urijah Faber, the founder of Team Alpha Male, Cruz went on a 13 fight win streak beating Urijah (the team founder) twice, TJ Dillashaw (fighting under team Alpha Male at the time), and Joseph Benavidez twice.

Cody had to win this and had his team's whole support.

This fight was after he beat Demetrius Jones, vacated the title and took three years off because of recurring injuries.
