There are moments in the history of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) that transcend the banal technical details of how many punches and kicks were thrown and landed, and should instead be appreciated as a graceful ballet of violence in perpetual motion.
We were treated to such a fight last night (Sun. Jan. 17, 2016) in Boston, Mass. during the main event of UFC Fight Night 81, pitting bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw against former champion Dominick Cruz.
For those who could appreciate the fight for what it truly was, we watched the ceaseless ebbing and flowing attack of two men at the absolute pinnacle of their sport in a contrast of styles for which the slow motion replay was invented.
