UFC Boston video recap: Cruz edges Dillashaw, reclaims title

After almost a year and a half on the sidelines plagued by injuries, Dominick Cruz was able to reclaim the UFC world bantamweight title through a razor-thin split decision victory over TJ Dillashaw at the main event of UFC Boston.

As expected, the two elite 135-pounders used their footwork and angles to set-up and land their shots. For Cruz’s part, he did not look like he was coming off a lengthy lay-off, as he was able to impose his game plan by using movement that in turn, had Dillashaw missing a lot of his strikes.

For the entire fight, Dillashaw was moving forward and pushing the action.
