I like Chito, but Cruz is a true symbol of resilience! 3 ACL surgeries…a real legend!#UFCSanDiego

Cruz looking solid! Vera needs to capitalize on those heavy shots or Cruz will dance around him all night. #UFCSanDiego

Cruz up 2 RDs. Vera needs more activity. I think he’s waiting on the TD attempts. #UFCSanDiego

Cruz winning , fighting the perfect fight and just couldn’t make mistake with chito. Chito can lose the whole fight but find that kill shot at any moment lately. Always dangerous and very hard to hurt

Sheesh still mad love to the OG Cruz. Just one of those styles where age shows. Chito vs Yan would be hectic!

Holy Crap what a head kick Chito @JasonKHouse !!!! @ufc #UFCSanDiego

Father Time is truly undefeated. I said before this fight, that it may be the passing of the guards. Chito can still take a shot, Cruz, not so much. It’s the circle of life in this game. Chito caught him at the right time in both their careers. Great win! #UFCSanDiego

Waited for the right opportunity and @chitoveraUFC capitalized on it. The Head kick that’s taking him to the top contender spot! #UFCSAnDiego
