Dominick Cruz: ‘T.J. Dillashaw is nothing but a wannabe’

Dominick Cruz may still be rehabilitating a torn ACL in his right knee, but his name seemed to be the only one on everyone's lips post-UFC on FOX 16.

After handily defeating Renan Barao for a second time on Saturday night, UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw turned his sights directly towards Cruz, calling out the division's former kingpin who last year vacated the belt due to a series of debilitating injuries. Cruz and Dillashaw's styles are often compared -- both rely heavily on unique movement and angles, and a fight between the two is currently one of the most intriguing stylistic match-ups in the sport.
