Since Cruz beat MM at BW, Johnson has went on to win the UFC FW title, go unbeaten in his last 12, defend the belt 9 times (usually in dominating fashion), AND become the #1 P4P fighter.
Cruz beat him at BW, and I think he would again. But, do you think Cruz would win if they fought at FW, providing the 5' 8" Cruz could get to that weight at this point in his career?
What is the point of speculating how someone would do at a weight they can't make and have never fought at?
GSP vs McGregor at 145, who takes it?

Do we know for a fact he can't make it?
Also, we already know he beat MM at BW. The question is if he could do it at FW. Christ, Kenny Florian went from 185 to 145. It's not impossible and is just a question.

He is already cutting from somewhere between 150 and 160 to 135. That is over 10% of his body weight. A cut to 125 would make Rumble Johnson blush.
He already convincingly beat DJ once before too. He won't cater to him and drop down.

I'm not asking him to drop down. I'm asking who you think would win if they fought at FW?
Do you have a response to this question?

DJ via not dying
I think MM has improved a fuck ton since that fight. More than Cruz has imo.
I'd say a fight at either weight would be close. A big factor in one at Flw would be how the cut affects Cruz's cardio. Assuming Cruz can bring his same game, I'd take Cruz via size advantage.
But it wouldn't surprise me if MM won at either weight.
