This is going to be a great fight.

I think this is going to be just like the Benavidez fight, but with Cruz being far more dominant!

cruz is just too big for MM. he will stay from the outside throwing jabs and kicks, and will stuff MM's TD attempts.

I wish the judges would've given the MM fight to Miguel Torres. He won that fight. And he'd be much more competitive against Cruz.

I disagree.  I thought MM won the fight.. and remember, he was fighting on a broken leg for 2 rounds.

it was the worst example of LNP imo torres was the one on control, even on his back. sweeps, sub attempts and strikes x takedowns

Honestly what Johnson did to Torres was 100 times worse than what Guida did to Pettis. At least Guida attempted to punch and advance. Johnson just laid there and took elbows to the dome...

Nothing is worse than that Guida fight... It was horrible.  But remember guys .. darn.. he had a busted leg.  I understand your point though.  I'm usually the 1st one to agree with people in situations like this.  I guess I'm giving him too much credit for competing the way he did on a busted leg.
