Dominick Cruz has the best skillset of any MMA fighter.

[InvertedCross]

Without question most guys aren't as complete as he is I believe he could be champion in any division the only guys that come close are Jones and Mighty Mouse.

Werdum should be in those talks as well as Rockhold and Weidman

You could argue that he has the best footwork, fight IQ, and fluidity in his transitions, but to say he has the best skillset overall is debatable.



Regardless he's a solid fighter. If he can stay healthy, its gonna be fun watching this guy try to cement himself as the #1 p4p fighter in the UFC. He has the tools to do it.

im a cruz fan but the he lacks power.

 

[Large Hound 77]

Isn't this a pound for pound thing?

 

[InvertedCross]

Ok so he lacks Power.

Still he has great striking, movement, TDD and wrestling he's not weak in any area

yeah he lacks power thats an area.

 

[HIMBOB]

What about the guy who just outstruck him in a very close fight?

Who also has more than 1 finish on his record in the past what half decade, decade?


IMO Strikes landed should be what counts.

Not being able to finish a fight is a massive whole in your game.

After last fight I was left with very little doubt that TJ is better.

 

[InvertedCross]

No it isn't Power isn't some skill you can acquire you either have it or you don't. You don't need power to beat people

If wonderboy can develop a BJJ game he will be the GOAT

 

[InvertedCross]

Jones doesn't have power either nor did GSP. Power doesn't mean anything

Let's say it's true. That means TJ can be champion in any division as well. TJ landed 130 strikes, Cruz 122 with his pillow fists.

The biggest thing that stops him from holding that title imo is the lack of submission wins.

I think Dillashaw and Cruz 2 would go very differently still Cruz had the skills to beat TJ and that's why he won that fight you have to look at more than strikes landed.

That's because his bones are hollow.

Are we talking KO power or strength?
