Is there a more boring champion in UFC history than Dom?

[Jorge Luis Borges]

I'm also in the middle. But he has yet to defend.

So until he fights Aldo he's the most boring champion in the UFC. And yes, I do believe that fight - if it happens, is gonna be fireworks.

By that logic wouldn't a champ who has previously been stripped due to inactivity more boring?

I really enjoy Cruz' footwork and overall game. I understand that he is not everyone's bag, but he's very exciting, imo.

I like Cruz.. he is super talented and skilled. He is not boring, But I admit I would like to see him finish more

 

[giantveggie]

don't they base part of the score on agression and effective striking?

I enjoy watching Dom, if for nothing else than to see how he makes great fighters look average.

His defense and angles are GOAT level.

If he had big power, he would be insanely popular. That's his main caveat.

what makes him good is what makes him have less power: his running around doesn't allow time for him to plant his feet for power strikes.

I like watching Cruz. His head movement and footwork are really fun to watch.

Anyone with intention to not get hit is boring and are cheating us out of money.

I gassed watch Cruz vs Dillashaw.

 

[FrankensteinMMA]

boring? his matches are like chess.

kasparov vs deep blue aint got shit on dom cruz.

 

[Sjb1888]

GSP runs him close.

Cruz has been doing the same thing for a decade. Credit to him for still being successful with that style but if you've seen one fight you've seen 'em all.

Odd timing for this topic

Faber is 37 years old who barely beat Frankie Saenz and was losing to Cisco who is about to be cut.
