There was a point in Dominick Cruz’s career that it started to look unlikely that he would be returning to competition after he re-injured his knee back 2012.    Cruz has since been healthy after his last successful knee surgery and appears to be in top form heading into the title bout with champ TJ Dillashaw next week.

Dillashaw has been under an onslaught of verbal abuse from Cruz prior to their match-up, however, Cruz has made great points about the match-up, Cruz considers that both men will have trained, prepared and conditioned themselves for the title bout leaving the “mental” edge factor the difference between who wins and who loses Sunday night.

Will Dillashaw make it three title defenses?   Will the “Dominator” pick up where he left off with another W and the gold?
