The talk in the bantamweight division this week has been about Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber, but former champ T.J. Dillashaw wants his rematch with Cruz. Taking to Instagram on Friday, Dillashaw called out Cruz over the way their fight played out, and decided to drop any pretense of respect in hopes of goading his way into that fight.
Penick’s Analysis: Dillashaw’s got the strongest case for the rematch because there’s a real argument for him having won that fight with Cruz. Unfortunately for him, things seem to be moving in the direction of Cruz-Faber, and it seems likely that’s the fight the UFC is going to put together. It’s all hung up so long as there’s no clear return date for Cruz, but Dillashaw’s probably going to find himself on the wrong side of this one.
