Dominick Cruz against T.J. Dillashaw is an awesome fight. What goes into awesome? Just a bunch of the usual ingredients…air casts, cadaver tendons, the scalp of Nosferatu, protractors, a few sands of the hour glass, the soul of Takeya Mizugaki, things like that.
Back when he’d only been shelved in the neighborhood of three years with ACL surgeries, a debate swelled up as to whether Cruz should be rushed back into a title fight against an active beast like Renan Barao. The competitor Cruz wanted it, and it was momentarily booked for UFC 169, but people were a little skeptical.
