Duane Ludwig spoke to Bloody Elbow about Dominick Cruz and the war of words between Cruz and Dillashaw ahead of their showdown on January 17th at UFC Fight Night 81.
Former MMA fighter, kickboxer, and current MMA striking coach Duane Ludwig told Bloody Elbow on Monday that Dominick Cruz's sustained barrage of verbal attacks on his star pupil T.J. Dillashaw are, "Just another aspect of the entertainment industry."
"It's something that entertainers do," said Ludwig. "Rather than fighters and martial artists."
Ludwig continued, "[Cruz] prefers being in front of the camera talking instead of doing, he's just used to that routine.
