TJ clearly lost both imo
The striking totals were close in the Cruz fight, but percentage wise TJ was punching air 75% of the time. Cruz had him looking silly sometimes.
And Sandhagen easily won rounds 2 and 3, hurting and/or dropping Dillashaw multiple times in those rounds, and he also took the 5th by outstriking TJ by a decent margin. Dillashaws aggression while once again hitting air during that last minute probably gave him the round in the judges eyes.
I dont understand how taking a guys back against the fence and doing absolutely nothing with it is in any way scoring points. Tbh, TJ attempting and failing multiple takedowns should be counted as effective grappling FOR SANDHAGEN who is successfully defending, thus dictating where the fight takes place
