UFC Fight Night: Dillashaw v Cruz

CatFromHue

haven't a clue who won that.

Cruz's leg looks in a bad way though

Moral victor is Cruz,down to the judges now tough enough to score.

Also if Cruz did his ACL in that fight, he may very well call it a day. There's no way he can come back from another serious knee injury.

Kylo Ren

3-2 Cruz. Very close however. Being the champ may win it for TJ.

PM me nudes

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

49-46 cruz? How can the score that.

Dillashaw via Submission

That's one hell of a comeback story, some Rocky shît right there!

Kirby

I'm happy for him but that's some wonky scoring from the judges.

Kylo Ren

Absolutely delighted for him. What a man.

killwill

Delighted for Cruz.
Great fight.
Dillashaw in shock.

Gamebred

Dillashaw via Decision

Absolutely delighted for Dominic to come back from them injuries is incredible,also the fact dillashaw is an absolute snake for turning his back on his team its great to see him lose the strap.

Kirby

"Kenny florian....quit copying and pasting man!"

epic.

mikeruurds

So happy for Dominick. What a fight!

Gamebred

Dillashaw via Decision

Fair play to TJ being humble in defeat there,2 sick athletes.

JustTheOne

How can one judge score it 46-49 and the other 49-46?

Kirby

One values aggression and the other values ringcraft? dunno. There is no way in hell that fight was 49-46 for either fighter. The only round up for debate in my mind was round 1. It was a 3-2 fight every day of the week.

Foxtrol

Judges could have gone either way but delighted for Cruz.

Hopefully his foot/leg injury isnt too bad and can fight again soon.

Deadst4r

Couldn't decide who won but definitely didn't think Cruz won that unanimously.

Top fight. Fair play to TJ, remained composed and man it was close.

Great stuff! Cruz is like a ghost.

newbbieb

Dunno what the judges seen i had Cruz first three rounds and TJ 4th and 5th.

Deadst4r

Anyone have a link for post fight conference?

Man Cruz he is so elusive, if you had 6 arms you'd still have trouble trying to tag him. Absolutely delighted for him. Hopefully he stays healthy for a few years and dominates.

Ouch.

Deadst4r

Journalist just asked Travis if he would take a rematch given the controversy.

He was absolutely RAGING, said 'rematch with who?'

'do you think it was controversial?' to the journalist.

Deadst4r

Cruz showing a real lack of class here to be honest.

TJ was very respectful in his post fight speech, but Cruz kicking a man when he's down.

TimRiggins

Cruz via Submission

Thought the fight could well have been 49-46 Cruz, But I gave him 1,2,3 and 5. TJ punching at air for most of the fight. Cruz landing at at far higher percentage and landed the bigger shots and securing rounds with Takedowns.

ASOT

Absolutly delighted for Cruz, his footwork while his foot was absolutely ****ed was amazing, thank God by the early reports it's not his knee this time, but still looked a serious enough injury. I wonder if this is where we see the rift between Ludwig and TJ.... It will come. I know he switched camps to get money from team elevation but really if it's not broke don't fix it, he's after shooting himself in the foot here.

Edit - and after that performance I have full confidence in Khabib being able to come back from similar and by the looks of things he will have no problem clearing out the division.

T J Dillashaw was lackluster i thought. Probably deserved not to get the decision. How one judge gave it to him by 3rds i dont know.

LaGlisse

BT recording cut out midway through 5th round of Dillashaw fight, i guess you have to record the program after in case it runs over?

smilerf

Cruz via Decision

It was definitely 3-2either way. 49-46 is shocking. The commission needs new judges badly

Ah no you serious! Was hoping to watch it this evening!

Pettis - what a disappointment. He's got savage ability to finish but there's a clear hole in his game. Guy has never won a convincing decision.

Totally agree. Cruz a clear winner for me.

Wonder if he will cut down to 145, he should strongly look at its he's getting bullied by bigger guys badly. Either that or there's another reason why he's performing so badly that I won't go into, but I wouldn't put it past anyone anymore.

Mine cut out just as TJ was about to be interviewed so you might get away with it.

He never struck me as the type (he's never been that athletic), but who's to know.

Me either but either did Silva, hopefully it's just the injuries having am adverse effect rather than anything else but it just looks weird how you can go from being on top of the division to that in such a short space of time!

Cruz via Submission

Absolutely beaming for Cruz, more so as I thought TJ won the fight, wasn't expeciting Dom to get his hand raised. I was hoping they would get Faber in there to face off with him.

Was hoping for a LOT more from Pettis.

Sickened for Matt

Yeah that should do the trick alright.

Delighted for Cruz, it's crazy how elusive he is in there. Loved watching that fight.

I gave him 1, 2 and 3.
TJ 4.
5th round was close, could have gone either way so the 49-46 Cruz doesn't surprise me too much.

Pettis was very disappointing, where does he go from here.
Pressure him and don't give him space and he's in big trouble.

Browne is a scumbag, should have had a point taken away.

Gamebred

Dillashaw via Decision

I gave Cruz 123 tj round 4,5 but I'd have to watch it back again,TJ was putting the pressure on but he was hitting thin air Cruz was touching TJ I thought but never really hurt him,

It just goes to show what Cruz could've been imagine him with them 4 years of fighting and training would be twice as good,



Pettis as I said before has a problem and he wont fix it by working tdd,he needs to use his footwork better stay away from the cage because thats the tool everyone uses against him,RDA will be trying the same technique except Conor has the brain not to stand near the cage and circle off.

Cruz via Submission

Delighted Browne and Rousey have each other. Two incredibly detestible figures

FollowMyWay

It is such a pleasure to see Cruz fight. I had Cruz winning the first three, he was making TJ miss and landing good combinations plus the takedowns. TJ clearly won the fourth and edged the fifth. Tony Weeks gave Cruz the fourth, not sure what he was watching.

Both 49-46 decisions were pretty outrageous, the fight was close.

Faber Cruz III probably going to be the next fight.

Pettis was disappointing, his movement was poor, should of looked to control the centre instead got backed up to the cage and takendown. When he landed he had Eddie in trouble. Fair play to Eddie, I don't think he'll go much farther than this though, Khabib supposedly up next for him.

Cruz via Submission

Just finished watching this, managed to avoid the results all day in work and on the facebook timeline and on the mats in the gym so happy with that. Good night of fights, absolutely delighted for The Dominator, thought he looked fantastic and even though it was close I thought he deserved it.
