Jack Slack’s Film Room: Cruz vs Dillashaw

As the quarantine starts to get on everyone’s tits, I’m heading back to the Film Room to watch through some old fights and provide alternate commentaries. Sometimes I haven’t seen the fight, most of the time I remember the fight wrong, but rambling over fight is something to do and some readers say they enjoy it. Today we’re starting with a couple of free fights, available for everyone on The Youtube, and then we’ll go to Fight Pass and cover T. J. Dillashaw vs Dominick Cruz.
