I think Frankie could take it to Cruz if he really can make 135 and have a good cut while doing it. Frankie has the footwork to rival Cruz's but Cruz starts to fade a slight bit in the 4th and 5th rounds due to his overly frenetic footowrk while Frankie usually has plenty left in the tank. Even after a tough fight and after taking some wicked leg kicks, he still usually has alot of spring in his step at the end of the fight. Frankie has more power behind his strikes as well imo but still it's a question mark as to how the cut would go, especially since he's only had one fight at 145.

BTW, nice call on Overeem-Silva, Bork. I totally counted you out in your first sig bet.
