Honestly, what do you expect when a guy has 4 years OFF, when the talent pool is constantly growing and improving their skills by actively fighting the best in the world?! Cruz is the GOAT at Bantamweight, but time has passed him by.

Dominick literally just made Henry think he was walking to the wrong corner. Keeping him guessing. I saw it as it was happening. #ufc249
