In one of the final UFC scraps of 2016, undefeated bantamweight fighter Cody Garbrandt put on the performance of a lifetime as he picked apart Dominick Cruz over the course of five rounds to secure the UFC bantamweight championship. In addition to picking Cruz apart, Garbrandt landed several big punches on Cruz that sent the champ to the canvas dazed and confused.

Following the fight, Garbrandt presented his friend Maddux Maple with the UFC bantamweight championship belt, many years after he promised his young friend that he would win the UFC championship belt for him, if he beat Leukemia for Garbrandt. While Garbrandt’s performance in the fight was certainly a big moment from the night, it was Garbrandt giving Maple the bantamweight championship belt that really left a lasting impression on the MMA community.

Following the event, UFC commentator Joe Rogan took to social media to reflect on the moment, complete with a video of Garbrandt explaining how Maple has made such an impact on his life:

One of the best things to happen this weekend is what Cody Garbrandt did for a young man that he's friends with that has been battling leukemia. He brought his young friend Maddux Maple into the Octagon and handed him the belt after he won it. He said he was going to go out and buy a fake one for himself. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen a guy do after winning the world title and it speaks volumes about what kind of a person @cody_nolove is. On top of that, he's a fucking hell of a fighter. A video posted by Joe Rogan (@joerogan) on Dec 31, 2016 at 8:38pm PST

Leading up to the fight it was revealed that Garbrandt planned to give Maple the official UFC championship belt, while he planned to have a replica belt for himself.
