Dillashaw picks Cruz to win at UFC 249: Cejudo isn’t all what he cracks up to be

Dominick Cruz hasn’t stepped inside the UFC Octagon for nearly three and a half years now. On Saturday at UFC 249, he will try to reclaim the 135-pound title from former two-weight champion Henry Cejudo.

And according to former foe TJ Dillashaw, “The Dominator” might just pull it off.

“I actually think Cruz wins the fight, I think he wins a decision,” Dillashaw told ESPNrecently. “I don’t think Cejudo is all he cracks himself up to be. He’s very good, don’t get me wrong. He’s a great athlete, he’s done some amazing things in the combat world.
