UFC Live on VERSUS: Cruz Wins Tough Fight

You gotta give it to Mighty Mouse. Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson, the part-time construction worker, gave UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz the toughest fight of Cruz's career on Saturday night. Johnson was a much more difficult challenge for Cruz than the much-more-hyped Uriah Faber ever was. Johnson was at least as quick as Cruz, and was an excellent boxer. His cardio was also as good as Cruz's, and between the hand speed and the pace of the fight, Cruz got away from the oblique angles and capoeira footwork that make him special. It didn't matter in the end, though, because Cruz adjusted, went to his wrestling, and body-slammed his way to victory with two impressive suplexes.
