Video: Dominick Cruz: I had some what cleaned up the division, now it’s no where near that, it’s been reset

“I had some what cleaned up the division, and now it’s no where near that, everything has changed, it’s been reset. A lot of the top 5 guys are still in the same position, but it’s all mixed around. There a lot of fighters that I haven’t faced yet. So absolutely it makes it exciting for me.”

Former WEC & UFC 135 lbs champ Dominick Cruz returns following a lengthy hiatus. Healed, healthy and hungry he meets a totally new landscape in the bantamweight division in comparison to the one he left 33 months ago.

Can he change with the times or is there too much change to allow for a fighter of his generation ?

About UFC 178
When UFC 178 lands in Las Vegas this week, the lineup will feature one of the best cards from top to bottom for all of 2014. The flyweight title is up for grabs in the main event as Demetrious Johnson looks for the fifth successful defense of his 125-pound title as he takes on top 10 fighter Chris Cariaso — but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone is back in action as well at UFC 178, welcoming in UFC newcomer Eddie Alvarez, who brings with him one of the nastiest reputations for any fighter in the lightweight division. Irish bad boy Conor McGregor also looks to conquer United States soil once again when he gets the biggest test of his UFC career in No. 5 ranked Dustin Poirier.
