Nah he arguably won the first fight (MMA publications are split on this) and Cruz tonight looked alot more sloppy and slow than he did in that fight, regardless of what Joe would like you to believe

Joke all you want, those publications are usually better than the judges sitting at ringside

Didn't beat a worse/injured version. Although I'd love to see them fight again.

unfortunately the judges are the ones scoring the fights. if the papers don't agree, it doesn't really matter since the records stand.

Don't get me wrong, I respect your opinion, but I really disagree. I think Cruz was actually better tonight than he was in his fight against Dillashaw. I really don't seeall this sloppiness.

He couldn't even beat rusted Cruz. What a garbage post.

no not really Cruz looked through even greater volume in this fight
in TJ's last fight instead of going for sheer volume he was throwing too much power looking for the knockout chances are he will make the same mistake again

I thought cruz looked sharper than ever. And I can't stand cruz most of the time. He barely got hit in this fight. Was landing some heavy shots and had faber badly hurt. While taking very very little damage.

I think that's what Faber was trying to do.

Yeah I saw that. Hope Cruz is amenable to letting the bad blood go. Especially since he won so decisively.

He was fighting his rival of 10 years. These two guys dislike each other. There is bound to be some bad exchanges
because of the animosity between the two. But Dillashaw's best chance was the 1st fight. If he could not beat a guy who
was coming off a massive layoff like Cruz, how is gonna beat an active Cruz? And the only reason TJ did anything in the 1st fight
was because of the injuries to Dom. He slowed down in the 4th and 5th, right when TJ started landing some shots.
