Dominick Cruz Excited For Barao Fight

[No More Sorrow]

And, apparently, the prospect of facing Barao, who “The Dominatorâ€￾ watched from the Fuel TV viewing area, excites him.

“I am looking forward to it. (Barao) is new blood,â€￾ said Cruz, who was part of the network’s team covering the event. “He was composed and is ready for a five-round title-fight with me.â€￾


Barao is now 31-1 and has not lost since his debut. Cruz, meanwhile owns a record of 19-1 with his lone loss coming to Faber at featherweight.

I'm actually looking forward to this fight as well, I think Barao takes it. The dude seems unstoppable and this combined with the fact that Cruz hasn't fought in forever and is going to be coming into this fight with a surgically repaired ACL-MCL is why i'm leaning towards Barao. Going to be a while before we see this fight though, maybe January-February before Cruz is 100%.

Barao will take this fight. I just can't see Cruz being able to stop him. Barao is a freakin beast. He is a machine. Plus the layoff for Cruz is going to hurt him.

Barao's beastly kicks + Cruz' fucked knee = new champ.
