There’s no such thing as rust. Rust does not exist unless you don’t train hard enough @TheDomin8r ✌#AndNew pic.twitter.com/3Mup9FTBhG

It's because TJ didn't hit hands in the beginning. That's bad luck #UFCBoston #UFCFightNight81

— Jim Alers (@fightJim) January 18, 2016

I had @TJDillashaw , I think the Judges watched a different fight.

— Rafael dos Anjos (@RdosAnjosMMA) January 18, 2016

I just don't understand how those 2 judges didn't see at least 1 of the first 3 rounds for tj Aggressor and landed bigger shots

Thought Dillashaw won but I'm sooooo happy that Cruz got the belt! #UFCBoston #farytalecometrue

I swear @TheDomin8r you are my fucking hero!! Love you bro!!!

— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) January 18, 2016

What an amazing feeling!! Well deserved win for Cruz. Must be hard having your belt stripped from you due to injuries. That's amazing @ufc

To put on a fight like that after one fight in four years is nothing short of astonishing. Win, lose or draw. #UFCBoston
