Agreed. Cruz should prove first that he can stay healthy before taking any titleshot. At this point I think TJ has evolved beyond Cruz and finishes him in round 2.
As a huge Cruz fan, I even think he needs at least one fight before fighting for a title.But you never know with the ufc
I have never understood how Cruz started being considered one of the best overnight. Faber beat him the forst Fight, and I thought Faber edged out the second Fight. I just haven't been very impressed with Cruz. TJ has improved by leaps and bounds. I think TJ win by TKO in rd 2.
LULZ, the first Faber fight was at 145 8 years ago. The second won Dom CLEARLY and decisively won. TJ is just going out there lately and doing a mediocre Cruz impression.
Lol. It may in fact have still been his had he shown up to defend it. Barao was the top dog in the division for a few years, and now TJ is. Dominick has fought once in the past four years.
Can't disagree with Dilly here, but as a champion on PPV points he should be doing everything in his power to fight Cruz when the alternative is a rematch with Assun
