Joe Rogan Previews Cejudo vs. Cruz - UFC 249

Am I crazy to think Dominic Cruz can beat Henry Sahutto in decision? Dominic Cruz is a legitimate bantamweight. Henry Sahutto beat Marla Marais, but Marla Marais, it seemed like kind of fell apart. Got tired and fell apart. He got broke. He broke him. Dominic Cruz, we haven't seen in a long time. He doesn't get hit really. I mean Cody Garbrandt fight, but... Yeah, but he got real emotional with Cody Garbrandt fight. We don't know where he's at physically. He just got off another surgery. He's 36, 37 now, which is old for a 135-pound fighter. Very old. But, you know, this guy's a fucking... His movement, dude. He's a winner, man. And Henry Sahutto starts slow. I see him getting down in rounds to Dominic. Dominic's impossible to hit, man. And his movement is pretty substantial. That's a big factor. It's so weird, too. It's awkward since wrestling's now switching the feet. If it's Dom in kind of that fashion, I don't know, man. It's a tough fight for Henry Sahutto. Well, Dominic Cruz is a tough fight for everybody. He's not an easy fight for anybody. And also, you know, I mean, he's got to realize there's not a whole lot more opportunities left. Not at all. At his age... If he wins this one, there are. But if he loses it, it's kind of like... Yeah, if he loses it, it's over. Just being an analyst for a little bit. Well, he's great at that. The best. He's... Yeah. One of the best. Yeah, he's for sure one of my favorites. My favorite's you, Anak, and DC, though. Well, me and DC have a fun time, man. We get silly. Well, DC's one of the guys. Yeah. DC's like us. Yeah, yeah. DC texted me the other day. He's like one of the guys. Yeah. He gets silly. He's getting mad waiting around for Stipe. But I think... I think he's a disservice to DC. I love Stipe, and he has the eye issue, and he's talking about, I came in a cage. Well, guys are figuring out. It's like, dude, if you're not gonna fight, then we gotta figure something out, because the heavyweight division... The UFC gave him some sort of an ultimatum. I would imagine. That's what he said. Oh, did he? Yeah. Yeah, there was an article about it today where there's some sort of a discussion. Well, what I don't want is Stipe to come back too soon when he's not ready and lose that fight, and then ruin a little bit of his legacy. Dude, wait it out. Get the eye. Better let these guys do the thing when you come back. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I don't know if Stipe's ever gonna be able to fight again, and maybe he shouldn't. It's not worth it. He's a great. Whatever he does, he's still a great. He got poked quite a bit in that first fight. I rewatched that first fight. He got poked bad in the eyes. The first fight with DC. I don't know if that's where the eye injury came from, but could have been. God, I don't see DC jumping out of bed to fight Francis. Fuck that. I think if Stipe backs off and says, I'm done, my eyes are too precious, I think DC retires. Agree. Unless they come up with some sort of wild 205-pound fight for him that allows him to make that cut again.
