Be a cool story if Cruz won tonight given all the injuries he has dealt with but I think Dillashaw takes it. He hasn't fought comp this good in a long time.

Meathead Mitrione is still fighting? didnt even know that

The year he was on TUF with Kimbo was like the only one I watched I think. I remember he fought Kimbo a few months after that and it was a PK line and he smoked him.

ya it's going to work against him that he won 3 rounds early, judges will give one of them to TJ

Wow. I had TJ the last few rounds to seal it. I guess it was the takedowns, and TJ never really did that much damage. The low leg kicks were super effective, shouldve went to em earlier and more often imo

TJ fought a pretty dumb and reckless fight and deserves the loss but still looked like the better fighter imo

He was the better fighter, I think pretty clearly, but Cruz won the fight

If that fight continues w/ no clock Cruz is done. Nick Diaz would be king in the land without time.

49-46 Cruz is a joke too. Rounds 4 & 5 were clear wins for Dillashaw.

Very close fight.

Thought TJ won rounds 4 and 5, while round 1 could have gone either way.

I say rematch, Faber deserves a shot in his hole. Lately he's just been struggling to beat cans on the prelims. Give him Barao, Raphael Assunção or thomas Almedia and see how he gets on.

Yup, tony weeks is probably the worst mma ref, i am kind surprised this guy is not banned from mma fight.

Ok for boxing but for mma is just terrible .

Anyway, at least cruz won it .
Takedowns took the the decidion.

Ps: i would love to see faber fight TJ after all that controversy

It's pretty clear that Weeks values striking far more than technical wrestling or submission attempts.

Boxing mentality.

TJ vs. Faber as a title eliminator/interim belt (once the severity of Cruz's injury is known...and we all know it will be awful). TJ vs Cruz after assuming Cruz isn't done.

I'd be pretty surprised if Faber doesn't get the shot assuming Cruz won't be out for an extended period of time. Maybe TJ fights Assuncao again?

Driving around LA in a (forget car he said), dressed like el chapo, wearin anacondas on my feet!

Anyway I got a question, is there a reason when a fighter pulls out of a fight it is always around that 2 week mark? It seems like this happens a lot, is there some deadline you need to pull out by or you get hit with a fine or are liable for anything?
