After Dillashaw&#8217;s complete domination of Renan Barao at UFC on FOX 16, it only makes sense for him to go up against the former champ. That&#8217;s the biggest fight that can be made currently, with he way the division is at this point, plus it would just be a great fight.<\/p>\n<p>Right after UFC on FOX 16, Cruz and Dillashaw started the minor smack talk, both agreeing that the fight needed to happen. Cruz keeps saying that Dillashaw&#8217;s a fake champion and has yet to fight a real champ, while TJ has said that he has the power to KO Cruz, something the FOX analyst lacks.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in their most recent spat, the two engaged in some name calling on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Check it out!<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Let&#39;s go <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thedomin8r?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TheDomin8r<\/a> heal that chicken leg up so I can kick your ass already.
