I like writing alot in any free time I have, and I'm also pretty passionate about MMA and Boxing. So I will start making threads where I posts pieces like this where I break down the best career performances of a fighter. This thread will be for BW legend Dominick Cruz one of my personal favorite fighters.

Since its pretty long, I broke it into junks on rap genius here:

Definitely against TJ

Definitely against TJ

IMO his performances against Jorgenson and MM were more dominant. The TJ fight was still really close and a split decision

TJ looked unstoppable and Cruz was out a long time yet still did enough to beat him.

True, even a injured cruz after a 2 year lay off was able to outlcass and make TJ look subpar.

 

[Head Movement]

His rubber match against Faber, complete domination, Faber could barely land a clean punch.

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

His rubber match against Faber, complete domination, Faber could barely land a clean punch.

Definitely this. I thought Faber/Cruz II was closer than most, but III was a blowout.

 

[taugrim]

IMO his performances against Jorgenson

That fight was a great example of breaking a challenger in a title fight mentally.

By the 3rd round, Jorgenson looked absolutely miserable, all the fight gone out of him. He was getting hit repeatedly and had no idea how to land cleanly on the champ.

 

[HaulParris]

1st Benavidez fight. Not trying to be an MMA hipster, but watching it live on Versus network was mind-blowing. Non-stop, video-game-in-real-life type of deal.

 

[Paladin]

I think he was full beast mode vs Mizugaki.
Completely wrecked Fabre in their last fight.the TJ fight was a great fight, showed how good he was.

Yeah alot of people forget about that fight, which was a very entertaining fight. People also forget about the ian mcall fight as well. Benavidez and Cruz are actually friends, and made this funny video:

 

[Erocthadon]

His rubber match against Faber, complete domination, Faber could barely land a clean punch.

My pick as well
