TJ Dillashaw vs Dominick Cruz has the makings of one of the best bantamweight fights of all-time. Dillashaw has run through every opponent in the past 2 years, including previous champion Renan Barao. Many thought Dillashaw’s improved striking, which loosely resembles Cruz’s hectic movement, was the main reason for his growth.
Cruz is healthy for only the 2nd time in 4 years and he’s coming for the championship he never truly lost. At only 30-years-old Cruz’s best years could very well be ahead of him but the reigning champ, Dillashaw, stands in his way.
