Cruz winning would be brilliant. The champ who never lost his belt in the octagon comes back and schools the guy who took his style, his spot and his belt. Would-be a real achievement and 1 of the greatest come backs/feel good stories in UFC history
+Jordan Schlansky The perfect continuous present verb tense “hasn't been training” is incorrect; rather, the correct one is the simple past “didn’t train.”
Jordan Schlansky Your Mom is incorrect. "Hasn't been training" expresses a continuous action from the past up till the present, which is exactly what you meant to communicate. Sorry, but your Mom is a windbag.
How quickly people turn their backs on a fighter, it's hilarious. I remember when TJ was facing Barao for the 2nd time, people were sucking his nuts like crazy. I'm not a fan of TJ and I like Cruz but it will be very good fight, I don't think it will be a one sided fight, I have it 50/50 because TJ has been much more active and is much improved, that's my honest opinion. I'm cheering for Cruz though.
Ariel honestly i can't find better journalist of any martial art and sport generally journalist who can match your work . You are everywhere . You are ahead with distance.
awesome genuine motivation...what a champion Dominick..alot of times champions say things that will relate to you...and definately make an impact ..may you regain your belt...
this guy is so full of emotions you can see it in his eyes somthing about being that emotionally invested through out his live was key to his success.. cruz for the tko 2round
Let's fulfill this comeback story, Dominick! I actually do think T.J. is an excellent fighter, but America loves a good comeback story. So let's give it to 'em, Dom!!!
Cruz is a champion with or without the sport of MMA. His character distinguishes him from other athletes in the cage, but also from other men outside of it. Can't wait to see the Domin8r perform and show us all the depth of his determination.
I don't agree with what he did but how do you hate someone you don't even know or who has done nothing to you? That's weird behavior to be completely Honest
+KSH172 yes your right hate is a strong word, the community I was brought up in has no time of dishonest and disloyal people that's the way I was raised upon, sorry if you feel offended that's just my take on it...
+Fighting Irish I respect Tj for wanting the best for him and his family but if anything Dyan Ludwig is the one who is a snake , just watch Ludwig's on rogans interview and you'll see Ludwig has anger issues and social issues that's why he has so many domestic disputes sith different people in the fight game .

Anyone see on UFC Embedded when Dom mentioned all the things that happened when he was injured. Was hard to see him almost break down on camera, the man was clearly hurting bad. Hope he regains what is rightfully his.
As best as I can remember I think I followed Cruz in his (at the very least) last 4 fights before his first injury, I loved him. He was unique, he was awesome, he was a beast. Still is. But ... after 4 years, even when I was following his new injury updates a little ... I forgot about him and became a fan of other and new fighters. So with that said, being a big fan of TJ since his win against Barao ... I'm kind of rooting for both, but I'm leaning for TJ as he's arguably more powerful and. Well, who cares because I can't wait. You learn that in MMA anything happens. Can't wait. I'm thinking TJ will win by a tough fight of 3 to 5 rounds with a TKO. But, who knows. I'd be happy if Cruz wins too though, it'd be an amazing beautiful return story.
I think if Dominick is gonna win this fight he has to make Rounds 1-3 his because I see TJ taking rounds 4 and 5. TJ has been more active and has elite training. But Dominick can beat him and I'm rooting for him.
+joemoneytaker1 90% of the US population has been exposed to Herpes Simplex 1 (HSV-1) which produces Cold Sores. I am rooting for Cruz, but he's being an idiot here by picking on Dillashaw's Cold Sore.
I love how Dominick talk about overcoming his troubles on his own and doesn't use GOD at any moment... finally people are using reason and logic now lol
Remember when everyone was on the Dillashaw train after he destroyed Barao the first time, then comes along Conor McGregor calling him a snake in the grass right before he leaves TAM. Now he's public enemy no.1 and everyone is saying he's shedding his skin. How can anyone hate Conor and the influence he has in MMA!
that awkward moment when cruz says now he looks at how he presents himself "putting his balls on the table" and doesnt care what people think because there will always be haters...sounds like conor
6:40 Dom was right from the START, TJ is a very selfish man who only cares for himself and we truly saw that when he went down to Flyweight to in his own words get the division eliminated from the UFC all for his own gain even when he has friends who fight at Flyweight and did not care if he would lose them their jobs and ruin their life just for his own glory
It wasn't because the legend of Aldo was for 10 yrs being undefeated, And the rise of a new king coming to dethrone in McGregor For Cody n Tj, Tj definitely wasn't on the level of hype Aldo was, and this story was of an old King coming to regain his throne. So probably it was exactly opposite scenario
*"Ludwig picked Dillashaw when he was at his best, he didn't build him to be the best."* - _Dominick "The Truth" Cruz_
He was way ahead of his time.
Cruz winning would be brilliant. The champ who never lost his belt in the octagon comes back and schools the guy who took his style, his spot and his belt. Would-be a real achievement and 1 of the greatest come backs/feel good stories in UFC history
It would be movie worthy
+Thomas Buck
It's not gonna happen. Oh wait...
Smartest fighter in the UFC.
Yes he is
+Jordan Schlansky The perfect continuous present verb tense “hasn't been training” is incorrect; rather, the correct one is the simple past “didn’t train.”
+Alex Colberg cain is way smarter ZING
+Alex Colberg after the King and Lord and God Conor McGregor

Cruz should be a life coach when he retires his insight is wonderful
One of the best sports interviews I've ever watched. Still coming back years later. So much respect for Dominick Cruz.
The great thing about watching Cruz interviews is he doesn't sit and repeat the same crap. Each interview with him is unique and worth watching.
Dominic trash talk is smooth and fluid. Calm cool collective. He's going to win.
God damn that's a sharp suit, Cruz dressing like a champ
It hasn't hurt McGregor *shrugs*
+Zak A Ummm.... Hes wearing plaid with stripes and didnt shave...
He is a champ.
Might not have a belt, but the only thing he has lost is time.
Dominick Cruz is like the Floyd Mayweather of UFC.
Top Notch footwork, top notch ring IQ and always wins the decisions
Tj doesn't have to worry about having herpes, his skin will shed every fortnight anyway
+B.F. Skinner OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Best comment on here
+B.F. Skinner bonus points for using the word fortnight.
I was rooting for Dom this whole time, but TJ doesn't deserve the hate. He's a nice guy
Huh
Dominick Cruz = Rare Individual
Get your title back from the Serpent.
Did he just accuse TJ of having herpes? lol wtf
Yup lmao I started laughing my ass off
+Joshua Skiest Yea that confused me im like wait what? lmao
+Cherry Pauper He's gotta wife. Just 1 vagina for him.
Juan Rodriguez Or so we think
+Juan Rodriguez nah he sucked on Aisling's neck.
Surprised he didnt injure his jaw during this interview.
Worst joke of the Millennium!!!😒
He has character and strong focus to achieve.
3:31 what the hell is a smargasharga?
Lol wtf
+Tony Ellas smart guy sharp guy, AKA smargasharga
Damn that was a good interview. A lot of the ones from this week have been solid, great work Ariel.

"I' am thinking about being in front of you and your sweet coat" LOL love this guy, true words of wisdom.
Ariel honestly i can't find better journalist of any martial art and sport generally journalist who can match your work . You are everywhere . You are ahead with distance.
Agreed
Oh maaaan... Cruz's nonchalant mention of the "thing on his lip" and how it was staring at him... gold, Jerry, gold.
"They started this battle and I'm finishing it"
That man just reinforced the mindset you need to succeed.
awesome genuine motivation...what a champion Dominick..alot of times champions say things that will relate to you...and definately make an impact ..may you regain your belt...
that really is a sweet jacket..
this guy is so full of emotions you can see it in his eyes somthing about being that emotionally invested through out his live was key to his success.. cruz for the tko 2round
What an inspiration he is! Really has helped me get through the toughest time in my life! Congrats champ glad to have you back. -P
very inspirational. Im not a fighter but i can definitely use his mindset to overcome my problems
A true source of inspiration. Thank you for that.
Let's fulfill this comeback story, Dominick! I actually do think T.J. is an excellent fighter, but America loves a good comeback story. So let's give it to 'em, Dom!!!
Cruz is becoming one of my favorites more and more as time goes on
Very humble man he a beautiful soul. Very exciting fight to be had😁💯👍🔥
Ahh Dominick "that thing on his lip was staring at me". Hahaha. I seriously cracked up when he said that
Cruz is one of the most well-spoken MMA fighters in the game. I hope he wins that belt back :D
I'm rooting for ya buddy!
Cruz is a champion with or without the sport of MMA. His character distinguishes him from other athletes in the cage, but also from other men outside of it. Can't wait to see the Domin8r perform and show us all the depth of his determination.
Rooting for you Dom, even though I honestly feel as if TJ gets the W, I hope you prove me wrong I hate that freaking snake TJ!
I don't agree with what he did but how do you hate someone you don't even know or who has done nothing to you? That's weird behavior to be completely
Honest
+KSH172 yes your right hate is a strong word, the community I was brought up in has no time of dishonest and disloyal people that's the way I was raised upon, sorry if you feel offended that's just my take on it...
+MMA X that's a fair point...
+Fighting Irish I respect Tj for wanting the best for him and his family but if anything Dyan Ludwig is the one who is a snake , just watch Ludwig's on rogans interview and you'll see Ludwig has anger issues and social issues that's why he has so many domestic disputes sith different people in the fight game .

the original unorthodox style, sweet switching stance. float like a butterfly sting like a snake in the grass. =)
I think Dominick analyzed everything to a T. Smart Guy.
A lot of wisdom shared by Dominick Cruz for all to learn from-
The King is back!!
Anyone see on UFC Embedded when Dom mentioned all the things that happened when he was injured. Was hard to see him almost break down on camera, the man was clearly hurting bad.
Hope he regains what is rightfully his.
Such a cool guy. Please win that belt.
Snake comments.
Snake comments everywhere.
Conor bless.

Can't wait. I'm thinking TJ will win by a tough fight of 3 to 5 rounds with a TKO. But, who knows.
I'd be happy if Cruz wins too though, it'd be an amazing beautiful return story.
I can totally relate
Great interview
What a Champion! he's going to win, he deserves it.
Dominick ''The Dominator'' Cruz vs TJ ''Parseltongue'' Dillashaw
Dom looks so handsome 😍😍❤
Gotta love Dom, hes got the confident arrogance with the skill to match. This should be a good fight,
Cruz , I would think he'll be doing commentary for a living somewhere down the road .
Great interview .
5:55 GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think if Dominick is gonna win this fight he has to make Rounds 1-3 his because I see TJ taking rounds 4 and 5. TJ has been more active and has elite training. But Dominick can beat him and I'm rooting for him.
words from a true champion!
good luck Dominick! wish u the best in your fight. hope on a great war with u winning it.
great video guys!
LOL "it was staring at me." :D
I love this guy,he will make a lot better champion!
Dominick Cruz. *True* Champion right here, ladies and gentlemen.
Ludwig was too damn tall to be the head coach. Faber even said five foot six is pushing it.
Huh?
One Snake disliked this video!
Lmfao, UT oh tj has herpes
Wrestling herpes! Lamisil won't fix that
Lmfao
+joemoneytaker1 90% of the US population has been exposed to Herpes Simplex 1 (HSV-1) which produces Cold Sores. I am rooting for Cruz, but he's being an idiot here by picking on Dillashaw's Cold Sore.
+Tönie mäc ohhhhh man lmfao haha, poor Cruz gonna get the herp
+George Ou dude, it's not 90% lol
I love how Dominick talk about overcoming his troubles on his own and doesn't use GOD at any moment... finally people are using reason and logic now lol
he is no vitor belfort
couldn't agree more. Thor helped me recover from this! by the grace of Zeus!
Oh but he did mention God tonight wining the fight
+Rvqsx because he is brainwashed
+Alex Nelson ignorance is bliss
a Cruise win would be one for the story books, or a Rocky like motion pic.
Cruiz be lookin like a Scott Adkins brother haha
I'd love to see a comeback story. CRUZZZZ!!! #ANDNEW
Class act
How do you not root for Cruz with coping with all this adversity ? Let's go Cruz!
Remember when everyone was on the Dillashaw train after he destroyed Barao the first time, then comes along Conor McGregor calling him a snake in the grass right before he leaves TAM. Now he's public enemy no.1 and everyone is saying he's shedding his skin. How can anyone hate Conor and the influence he has in MMA!
Omg Dominick Cruz is the best
that awkward moment when cruz says now he looks at how he presents himself "putting his balls on the table" and doesnt care what people think because there will always be haters...sounds like conor
this guy is wiser than most spiritual assholes and gurus
"It was staring at me"
KOBE #GOATBEAST. Dominick Cruz fire is as hot as it ever has been.
yes sir he is. (smartest) hope he wins.
How can you not want Cruz to win?
I just became a true fan of Cruz
you're black af
That's right Dom, win this battle and stomp on that little snake !
Trying to like Cruz. Failing. Calling out everybody for being arrogant, but honestly that compliment seems more fitting for himself.
"He didn't say anything, because he knew it was staring at me." L M F A O
Dominick "the Decisionator" Cruz
Cruz straight up said that TJ's wife has the clap
Cruz is irritating to me in a way, but I like how much strength he got from the Peaceful warrior :)
he looks his age now with the scrubble
And STILL the undisputed UFC Bantamweight Champion on the World......DOMINICK CRUZ !! !! ;D
IT WAS STARRING AT ME
Dominant Cruz is gonna walk through this snake like a Conor through an Aldo.
'they had a whole lot to say before they said something back' YES dom lets fuck this SNAKEEEEEE up!!!!
6:40 Dom was right from the START, TJ is a very selfish man who only cares for himself and we truly saw that when he went down to Flyweight to in his own words get the division eliminated from the UFC all for his own gain even when he has friends who fight at Flyweight and did not care if he would lose them their jobs and ruin their life just for his own glory
luv cruz but im i the only one that feels like he is about shear a tear after every pause ...?
Dom is quality
3:29 "You're shmarga sharga" xD
Keep the beard Cruz
Weight cut must be hell, even Dominic slows down talking when weigh-in in there.. Or he is really tired or something..
jewelwani gotta have an ad every video. (he likes jewels)
The lip comment had me die!
finding out more about Dominick Cruz, I realize this fight is equally as exciting as Mcgregor VS. Aldo--- It just doesn't have the same hype.
It wasn't because the legend of Aldo was for 10 yrs being undefeated, And the rise of a new king coming to dethrone in McGregor
For Cody n Tj, Tj definitely wasn't on the level of hype Aldo was, and this story was of an old King coming to regain his throne.
So probably it was exactly opposite scenario
I have a feeling Cruz will be crying again real soon
#TEAMCRUZ
UFN 81????
If cruz really thinks dillashaw is dumb then he's just being a bully.
