I, for one, am shocked that Cruz isn't -300 or -400 against a very unproven Garbrandt. I mean Cruz was -425 against Faber, who I would still favor over Garbrandt if they fought today.
Cruz has the PERFECT stylistic matchup to frustrate the hell out of a young, relatively inexperienced guy like Garbrandt. Plus after all the interviews showing how big of a hot head Garbrandt is and how emotional he will be in this fight. I feel like if your not betting Garbrandt KO round 1, you are just throwing you money away because after that adrenaline dump wears off and he starts to build up that lactic acid in his arms from swing at air for 5-7 minutes he is going to be fodder for Cruz's takedowns. Hell, I could see Cruz even getting a finish from GnP in rounds 2-4.
