#4 Dominick Cruz
The former UFC Bantamweight Champion might have lost the title to a younger, possibly hungrier opponent in Cody Garbrandt at UFC 207, but going into the fight, Cruz once again proved that he is a master tactician.

In the past, Cruz had defeated his opponents long before they traded punches in the cage. While Cruz is known for his scientific footwork, and his ability to use the ‘bait and switch’ technique, Dominick is also one of the most polished trash talkers in the fight game.
Unlike the other fighters, Cruz doesn’t use expletives during his promos. Instead, he breaks down the psyche of his opponents and tries to wind them up going into the fight. While Cruz seemed to have found success doing the same against Cody, the young prospect managed to keep his composure, and ended up beating the Dominator at his own game inside the Octagon.
