I never once said he was the best. I simply asked what it would take, seeing as he is the clear no. 2 at BW and no. 1 at BW without Cruz.Defend his title maybe?
I love the MMA crowd these days. Every fighter becomes the greatest ever as soon as they get a title.
And TJ is 2 SDs away from being 17-1, 6x defending champ on a 12 fight UFC win streak.It's still a possibility for him to avenge both the Cruz and Dodson fights.
Dodson was 2 split decisions away from being the number 1 contender.
LOLBeating Garbrandt again and by stoppage is huge imo.
Then beating any combo of Rivera Moraes and/or Assuncao, again.
Thoughts?
Obviously beating Cruz (and I think he would in a rematch) would be big for this to come true; however, I don't see Cruz coming back soon, sadly.
Dillashaw's resume has wins over: Barao x2, Assuncao, Lineker and Garbrandt right now. He is only 32, so I think he definitely has time to get more big wins, if he doesn't chase Demetrious Johnson.
Really... re-watch both fights, pleaseLOL
He was humiliated by Cruz.
Then he was losing to Cody until he caught him with a lucky punch.
he will need a lot more than that to surpass Cruz.
I did. And yes, it was competitive, but you are blind if you don't think Cruz had that fight in the bag well before you heard from the judges.Really... re-watch both fights, please
