I dvr'd it. Great free card as you note.
Wish they'd have run it Sat night instead of Sunday tho I get why they didn't want to compete with football.

Couldn't avoid results so not worried about spoilers... sounds like a mix of split decision fights and one sided blastings.

Ya wasn't as good as I was hoping.

TJ got robbed, he won the 1st, 4th and 5th without question. Yea Cruz was tough to hit, but at the same time TJ did by the most damage with his leg kicks and 3 kicks to the head of Cruz.

How 2 judges can watch the same fight and see it 49-46 for 2 different fighters is amazing. One cant help but wonder if they have trouble seeing the fights from ring side or something.

I don't know mma judging is always crazy.

I gave 1-3 to Cruz and 4 and 5 to tj.

I had it 3-2 Cruz. Was happy to see that POS Dillashaw get beat. Wished he'd have faced someone capable of knocking him out.

Close fight. I don't particularly care for either fighter. I don't have a problem with Cruz winning. I think it could have gone either way, it was close enough. Neither of them are really all that impressive to me.

LOL. Cruz comes back after years and takes back the belt he never lost against a guy who has looked unstoppable and you're not all that impressed. Meanwhile the entire MMA world is calling it the greatest comeback they've ever seen and I agree.

 

[Szczepanik]

Cruz 4 to 1 for me. Those takedowns were worth a lot even if they didn't lead to a lot of control. Cruz did very well. I was worried about ring rust.

Okay.

Do you want a cookie?

I forget that you believe everyone has to agree with what you or others think.

I base my thoughts myself without the crutch of what others tell me to think.

Well, forget about what I think. The entire MMA world is calling it an unbelievable achievement to do what he did. You're literally the only person I've read calling it not that impressive. Even those that think Dillashaw won the fight can't believe how a guy can come back from 1 fight in 4 years, 3 major injuries and fight at that level.

Good for them.

I'm happy for them and him.

I don't find Cruz impressive. I never have. I probably never will.
