Lesson for defending champs... touch gloves before the fight 
UFC FN Boston "New Year, New Champ?": TJ Dilla (c) vs Cruz, Shelftime Pettis vs Alvarez, and More
- Thread starter THEREALBRAND
- Start date
Wait a minute neither one of the was. 4-1 . How do you give the last 2 to Cruz ?????
yeah i can see that. personally i've always liked watching him cuz he's so unusual. but like the other dude said, if he had power, he'd be a lot more entertaining, especially for the more casual fans. but calling him a disaster as 135 champ is silly...his storyline alone gets him points.
and now cruz is tired and has a bad leg...tj's finding him...
I don't care about the power. No one really has that at those lower classes except John Lineker. Its just the uber defensive style. Dart in, hit a hook, dart out. Schuffle. Dart in. Hit. out. Reset. I'm not a fan of that. I'm not a fan of low output fighters.
RD 1 was the deciding factor in this. (as far as the first sane judge went)
5th round no one did anything of note. could've went either way.
cruz clearly won the first 3

Just a rivalry
I think Cruz could be reasonably awarded the first 3 and maybe the fifth.

It started when Cruz was left off an event poster and he signed his signature over Faber or something like that.

Great fight. That shyt was incredible. Cruz had 1 minute of fight time, 3 ACL tears and a torn groin in over 4 years and he fought like that against the champ 
48-47 either way imo. VERY close fight. Glad Cruz got it

Straight up, this is one of the most inspirational things I've ever witnessed in MMA.

2 really good, close title fights to kick off the new year 
with the WW and BW title fights.

I'd say it'd be pretty hard to hit with power with style like that. He never sets his feet so, anybody who fights like that will have power issues

Whatever you feel about the fight Cruz came back from being out damn near four years, went five rounds with the champ and won. You gotta respect that
i'm saying...that was some incredible shyt.
tj dillashaw is a guy that murked who was considered one of the top p4p fighters in the world, twice...earning the strap and looking like an unstoppable force at his weightclass.
and then here comes a dude that had how many acl surgeries? both his knees got fukked up...plus a groin tear? a former champ who's had 1 fight since 2011 and has watched the mma game progress from the sidelines? then he, of all people, comes back and beats the guy who's a tier above everyone else in his division? come on...that's pretty fukking epic.
i mean, even if you scored it different and gave tj the win...what cruz did was amazing. that type of comeback, from those types of injuries, against that level of competition...wow.
