If Cruz dominates when he returns, will that diminish what Barao was able to accomplish in Cruz's absence to you? For the sake argument, let's say that Cruz walks through Mizugaki and the Dillashaw/Barao winner, in your eyes would that mean that Cruz is one of the best in the world or would he just be king of a weak division? I've never been a huge Cruz fan, but to me if he walks though his competition that will put him top 2 P4P in my eyes.
Conversely, if Cruz beats Mizugaki and then loses to Barao/Dillashaw how much more impressed would you be by the champion than you are now?
