@comicstooge: That's where it gets interesting. Johnson is very fast on the feet and very accurate. Dillashaw's footwork has improved to the point where this fight could go either way in stand up.
@those_eyes: IMO, Cage Ranked also says Mighty Mouse has an 80% of beating Mark Hunt. It's pure stats.
Catch weight it obviously is different for some calcs. You cant got that far off of the weight difference and except calcs to help. calcs can only get you so far.

By calculations johnson has this won.
But it can still go either way imo!
Did you just use calculations/stats to analyze a fight? Are you serious dude? That is one step away from people who use power-scaling on DBZ forums.
Everyone who watches MMA knows that calculations/stats are THE LAST thing one should use to form an opinion on a contest. Every fight has so many variables that pure stats can't account for; different opponents, external factors (injuries, training camps, short notice), varying weight-classes etc etc.
It doesn't take a rocket-scientist to figure out that using pure stats in a MMA discussion/debate is pure silliness. Hell, people who really understand the game don't like using FightMetric to even judge a fight. And you used Cage Ranked, that is even sillier.
Cruz, who's fought both, has said that DJ would beat him.
Because Cruz said that DJ beats Dillashaw, we should accept it as empirical fact? Have you ever stopped to think that it was because Cruz is biased against TJ Dillashaw? Cruz also said that Diaz would beat McGregor again.

Cruz has also never fought Diaz and McGregor, it's one thing to analyse someone as a 3rd party, but to have fought both of them means he understands what both men can do intimately. It's not the be all and end all of information, but it's relevant.
@WarBlade539: Maybe....Once he stopped loading up and looking for the headkick K.O, and started pumping the hands as a distraction while looking for the leg kicks, he took the last two rounds... I can't deny that.
Well, TJ has come out and said that he struggles to keep weight on, and weighs 150 while eating alot of food and engaging in a regular weight training regiment. He's in fabulous shape, but he doesn't drain himself to reach BW at all...
There is literally no evidence for this. Barao was dominating the division in Cruz's absence. Barao's slump started after he got demolished by Python Killashaw. When top tier fighters suffer devastating defeats, they often end up slumping in form. Its often Mental. There is alot of revisionist history around T.J TBH.
Also we may get this fight as I'm fairly certain UFC are going to give Cruz Cody cause wolf tickets, and TJ may not feel inclined to wait around and fight the winner. Plus UFC are running out of FW's for DJ and they more about looking for quick fixes than building up the Flyweight division as a whole. So to them a DJ vs TJ fight could make sense to them. TJ has expressed interest in fighting in FW as well.
