Surprisingly, considering it's only on Fox Sports 1, we are getting a full length Embedded episode for this fight.

I have to say I'm really pleased we are getting this, as this fight is probably the biggest fight in bathamweight division history. For me, bigger than the the last Cruz/Faber fight. Again, like the Weidman/Rockhold fight, it's probably the two most talented fighters we've seen in the division coming up against one another, and there's the added incentive of there being bad blood between the two.

 

Add that to the above counter punch show, come fight night, this is going to be great.

I think Dillashaw v Cruz will either be brilliant or shit and not much in between. 

 

Agreed. Either it will be a war with technical brilliance, or a fight where the footwork is so good between the two where no one gets hit.

i was paying for it Dave, but if i can get it free just by viewing shit i wanna read anyway i'm gonna do it :)

 

I don't expect Cruz/Dillashaw to be a barnburner. I think TJ's aggression may make it ignite but if Cruz dictates the pace it'll be a technical but likely frustrating watch. Cruz was basically the original Mighty Mouse. From a skill/gameplan standpoint he's awesome but he'll never bend for the need of the fans.

So, am I the only sap on this forum who actually pays cold, hard cash for Fight Pass?

I signed up for 6 months just before the Duffy/Poirier fight - had subscribed before but cancelled. And I pay for BT Sport too.... but I still download all UFC shows to archive on a hard drive. But yeah - I essentially have 2 x UFC subscriptions; Fight Pass & BT Sport.

Pretty much the same as me then. I quite like FightPass to be honest, being able to throw on a fight whenever I want without loading up my laptop and all that jazz.

yeh it's gonna have to be a monday off for me. A boy i work has just started taking an interest in the UFC, already think he's an expert but think it's hilarious to give me hints at spoilers for shows i ain't yet seen. It's a problem.

 

An example was on the Fox show before Xmas he said something along these lines:

 

"let me tell you who won out of Cerrone/Dos Santos", when i said "no don't say a word" (and yes, he said Dos Santos), he said "you won't mind me telling you Nate Diaz won though will you?", i think he realised from my reaction that i didn't find it very funny.
