At UFC Live on Versus 6, Dominick “The Dominator” Cruz showed why he is the bantamweight king. Normally Cruz uses angles, quickness and superior striking to subdue opponents. When he saw that using these traits would quickly lead to a loss, he did what all champions must do at some point in a successful reign.
He adjusted.
He came to the realization that his challenger, Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson, was faster than him, but he also realized that he was stronger than the natural flyweight-sized competitor. He used his size and strength to literally throw Johnson around the ring en route to a unanimous decision.
This brought up the obvious question.
Has he actually done what Dana White always says Georges St-Pierre and Anderson Silva need to do?
Did he clean out the division?
