Cruz is far from a finisher, all of his wins are by decision, I dont think he's ever even hurt anyone in his fights. He wins because he lands more strikes than his opponents, due to his super quick hands and outstanding footwork. Edgar is a similar story but I think he does fight to finish, he just doesnt have the power to finish everyone at 155, but he is so technical that if he lands clean, you are likely to go out, like Maynard did
and come on Jose Aldo not a finisher? The only 3 he hasnt finished as of late NEVER get finished. Mark Hominick hasnt been KOed since '03, Faber has only been finished twice in his whole career and Kenny Florian hasnt been finished since TUF finals when he got TKOed by a much bigger Diego Sanchez
Lets give Aldo at least another fight before we give him the GSP treatment
