Can't ******* wait. Not even gonna mention the 'I' word. The fact this isn't even a FOX card, just a regular Fight Night, is insane. Hope Cruz gets the belt. I need to see Cruz/Mighty Mouse II in the future.

I might be wrong, but I recall a video of Cruz saying that Dillashaw had copied his style. I can't believe that because Dillashaw actually finishes fights.

I can see either this fight, Aldo/McNugget, or the Weedman/Tiger Nut Clutch fight not happening.

Pretty bad post when Cruz just decimated Mizugaki in the first while Dillashaw tends not to finish guys until the 4th or 5th, flying_frontkick.

And I don't think I'll expect this fight to happen until they make it past weigh ins. Clearly the UFC doesn't, otherwise they wouldn't put this on a Fight Night.

"When I was doing things, it was ‘awkward, herky jerky, never seen before.' I got this ‘weird style that doesn't make sense," Cruz said at the MMA Hour. "Now, my style is being appreciated. When I go out there, people will see T.J. Dillashaw is nothing but a wannabe, and I look forward to going out there and proving that I'm the best in the world."

"When people make a comparison, they don't know what they're comparing. Four years ago when I used this style, nobody knew what it was. I had coaches, Joe Rogan, all these people saying that I was just 'awkward' and 'weird'. Now it's a style, because T.J. Dillashaw took feints, footwork, and switching stance from the style that I created -- those are the only three things that he took from it -- now it's become something that's respectable."

"So I gotta say, it's a good thing T.J. went out there and kept fighting and kept getting famous and kept winning, because now, when I come back, I have a match. I cleaned out the division four years ago. Cleaned it out. And it hasn't changed."

I don't think Cruz cleaned out the division. He never fought Barack when be was almost unbeatable.

It will be epic if Cruz can take his title back.

I think Cruz does what they do better, but all that time off for Cruz makes it a tough pick.

Prediction: correct Cruz   wrong KO/TKO   wrong Round 5  

Ever since Dillashaw beat Barao the first time, I've been waiting for this fight.


Now I've said previously that when Cruz beats Dillashaw.  He should fight MM again.  Superfight.


Now I'm not one to care about down votes but people acted like that was a dumb idea.  Really?
