Bloodbath

You won’t need to go to the judges’ scorecards to see who won this exchange.

Anyone tuning into UFC 195 in the wee hours of Sunday morning was treated to special interview with TJ Dillashaw and Dominick Cruz in between all the high-octane MMA action.

The two warriors are set to slug it out in a fortnight in what could be the most highly anticipated UFC bantamweight title fight ever.

Former champion Cruz (20-1) famously never lost his belt, but was forced to relinquish it in 2014 after injuries meant he was unable to stay healthy enough to defend his belt. Dillashaw won the title by usurping Renan Barao, who was promoted from interim to full champion in Cruz’s absence.

Cruz and Dillashaw went toe-to-toe with their smack talk in a segment played during last night’s broadcast, and it was the former champion who completely dominated Dillashaw. Check it out in the video embedded below.
