BREAKING: @TheDomin8r returns in 2016 facing @TJDillashaw for the title 1/17 on @FS1 ?? Story: http://t.co/S0TsRbLbda pic.twitter.com/HWBMbc82cY
— UFC (@ufc) September 10, 2015
Both fighters possess some of the best movement ever seen in all of mixed martial arts and will be something of a grudge match as Cruz has recently responded to suggestions that Dillashaw had stolen his style.
Speaking to TheMMAHour in July, Cruz said: "When I go out there, people will see T.J. Dillashaw is nothing but a wannabe, and I look forward to going out there and proving that I'm the best in the world."
Dillashaw, meanwhile, was a guest on this week's edition of Ariel Helwani's show and he responded to the Dominator, saying: "I think I'll finish Cruz faster than I finished Barao."
With Weidman v Rockhold and Aldo v McGregor slated for December 12th's UFC 194 and now Dillashaw v Cruz scheduled for January, we're looking to seeing the best possible title fights in some of the promotion's most competitive divisions.
