T.J. DILLASHAW vs. DOMINICK CRUZ

Pretty Good Card on FREE T.V., Sunday Evening...

Dillashaw-Cruz, the Return of Anthony Pettis and Mr. Ronda Rousey vs. "Meathead" Mitrione...






REED:hammert:

 

Damn, didn't even knew that Cruz had finally came back from his injury. Prime Cruz should win this, but it's hard to know how much he has left after almost 5 years of inactivity (bar a one minute fight)

 

This is a very nice card. Really looking forward to it. Hoping Cruz beats Dillashaw up.

Hopefully Pettis does the business. Would love to see him vs. McGregor later in the year.

 

Alvarez always said he was a UFC level fighter. They sure aren't giving him any easy fights. Cerrone, Melendez, and now Pettis. Pettis should win this and make it look easy.

I'm hoping to see prime Cruz back in this fight. It sucks that he's missed some of his best fighting years because of injuries.

 

wow is that event boring so far

Alvarez deserved the win, but damn has he been boring since he went to the UFC

 

Neither fighter deserved to win that, zzzzzzzzz.

 

How did one judge have it 29-28 Pettis? He didn't win the 1st and he certainly didn't win the 3rd.

Probably gave him the first. I don't think he won it, but it was close enough that I can see why he scored it for Pettis.

 

Pettis landed the better strikes in the first round. Alvarez controlled more of the round against the cage. I could see giving the first to Pettis. Most judges would give it to Alvarez for the takedowns.

The fight overall was a big disappointment.

 

10-9 Cruz. Hes using a lot of energy though.

 

Cruz seems a bit less tight with his punches than I rebember. WOnder if this is a case of too much too soon. Still won the round imo.

 

close round. Cruz defense is superb, but he might not be active enough

 

third to cruiz

 

Cruz 3-0

 

i thnk it migh be all even before the last

 

could go either way. Decent fight

 

3-2 Cruz.

 

I gave rounds 1, 4, and 5 to Dillashaw. It really could have gone either way. I wanted to see Cruz win, and I'm happy that he's the champ again.

 

I wonder if this will make barao reconsider in weight. I think he has an excellent chance against cruz

 

That was an inspiring performance from cruz. Thought it super close and was a fantastic fight. Also good to see alvarez prove his naysayers wrong. He's proven that he's a premier world class fighter.

 

I really liked this card on paper. A solid ppv card, imo. Cruz got a little lucky. He lost 4 and 5. Gotta like him taking down Dillashaw, though.

Pettis needs to learn how get back up better or do something that matters when he's down. He's such a dynamic striker that it's easy to like him as a fighter, but he shouldn't be reliving the Guida fight at this stage of his career.

 

I don't think you know what way off means.

 

Sayin Cruz got lucky is miles off.

 

So you think Cruz absolutely won rounds 1 through 3? He didn't need to win rounds 4 or 5 on anyone's card because he was clearly, way ahead at that point? That's ridiculous.
