I think TJ takes the rematch, but it'd be a good fight.
? clever troll or completely delusional to what factually happened in the aftermath of this fight on Sherdog'?
The majority went with the narrative "TJ swung at air all night" even though he landed more strikes than Cruz did.
Link me the threads contradicting my statement of how Sherdog reacted. I'd love to see all these imaginary threads that were overwhelmingly in TJ's favor.
Landed 64 of 343 head punches thrown.???? Where did you get these incorrect stats? TJ had over 100 significant strikes land.....
130 of 430 for TJ
122 of 312 for Cruz
130 of 430 is not 1/5...
Cruz's shots are thrown with 100% arm, which is why he basically hurts no one in 25 minutes and doesn't leave a mark on them. TJ actually does damage and landed roughly the same amount of strikes. Cruz could barely walk after the fight so I'd say it's safe to say TJ did more damage.
Not just me... several people. Btw, we were talking about judges, not about comparassions between pro fighters and others. Get it right.Yep.If NaughtyBoy said so..I mean who are pro fighters compared to NaughtyBoy??
Cruz needs to bypass injury first.I'd love to see a rematch. TJ is definitely a different fighter now. A lot more patient. However Cruz is also very good at picking his shots. I wouldn't mind seeing them go at it, even if Cruz bypasses other contenders.
I don't give a fuck about you or other people.Whoever you guys are can't be compared to pro fighters.Not just me... several people.
Yeah we are talking about judges.And i'm saying pro fighters sometimes are more reliable than shitty judges.Btw, we were talking about judges, not about comparassions between pro fighters and others. Get it right.
You know when you hit the body or legs, that counts too right? It is extremely significant when discussing the fight, seeing as TJ fucked Dom's legs up so bad he could barely walk after the fight.Landed 64 of 343 head punches thrown.
19% (actually 18.6%) < 1/5 or 20%
I was commenting that's TJ was punching air all night.
This doesn't even got nothing to do with the topic, but good for you.I don't give a fuck about you or other people.Whoever you guys are can't be compared to pro fighters.
Yep, sometimes. Not in the TJ vs Cruz fight. That's for sure.Yeah we are talking about judges.And i'm saying pro fighters sometimes are more reliable than shitty judges.
These tweets disagree with you.Keep living in your little world.Mr.no controversyYep, sometimes. Not in the TJ vs Cruz fight. That's for sure.
Yes it does.You said you are sure judges got it right.Well according to pro fighters they didn't.This doesn't even got nothing to do with the topic, but good for you.
Dom did try shooting for TD'S against Cody, but ate a knee every time. He was even out wrestled by Cody.
I don't know that the judges had an agenda. If the judges are corrupt then the whole sport is ruined.
In a lot of cases we could point to incompetence rather than corruption. Incompetence is by far more acceptable and I think is more the case.
In this fight I didn't see it as a robbery so for me no controversy really exists, either man could have won and I would not have been super shocked.
It's bias, not incompetence.
You can sense it in Sherdoggers. They WANTED to have Cruz as the champion. I'm pretty sure the UFC is aware of all these tings.
I am not quite sure how to respond to that. I would guess that there are sherdoggers who wanted Cruz to win.
It may be a bit harder to convince me that the wishes of sherdoggers are carried out by the ufc to the extent that they influence judges on our behalf.
No! I want to argue for another 2 years.There is only one satisfying way to settle this and that's via rematch. I honestly don't care whether Cruz or TJ should've won back then, let them fight again and put it to rest.
Defense is its own reward. Accuracy isnt in the scoring criteria. Its who lands the more impactful strikes.Another person who can get past their own bias. TJ connected on less than 1/5 of his punches thrown (he landed 64 of 343) meaning he was swinging at air most of the night.
64/343 = about 19% accuracy

Did he though? He scored 4 take downs but Dillashaw was on his feet within seconds. Dillashaw took him down and nearly finished him in the championship rounds.Pretty amazing that Cruz, a high school wrestler dominated TJ, a NCAA div 1 wrestler in wrestling
It's not hard to convince you that UFC wants more money, therefore they prefer to "make" stars that bring more audience (money).
Did you not hear Cruz's post interview where he said he came INTO the fight with a foot injury?You know when you hit the body or legs, that counts too right? It is extremely significant when discussing the fight, seeing as TJ fucked Dom's legs up so bad he could barely walk after the fight.
Which was Cruz 112-109Defense is its own reward. Accuracy isnt in the scoring criteria. Its who lands the more impactful strikes.
