Cody “No Love” Garbrandt says he was MERCIFUL to Dominick Cruz — claiming he could’ve knocked him out “multiple times” at UFC 207 … but was having too much fun toying with the guy.
Cody joined the guys on the “TMZ Sports” TV show (airs Tuesday night on FS1) — and said he could pinpoint the moment he knew he had the fight locked … but carried Cruz to the 5th round “for fun.”
Garbrandt says he had such a great time beating Cruz he wants a rematch — and says next time, Cruz won’t make it past the 2nd.
