Well, it was 3 years ago so back then a CE fighter was the second best after IC fighters. I think it was before the IE fighters came out.

By todays standards the original CE fighters are not that strong but back then they were strong and rare. And another difference there was a huge discrepancy in power between different CE fighters. Now...some NCE fighters are a bit better then others but all are good. But back then I had Johnson CE and later I got Cruz CE for free (like I said). Both are FW MMA CE fighters but not only does Cruz have a huge reach and speed advantge. His average damage is wat higher with a lot of easier moves to land. That in combination with the reach made him just a lot better then Johnson CE.

I still like to use Cruz CE from time to time during Live Events or H2H even though I have Dillashaw NCE maxed. Just so fun to play with and a very realistic skillset like a lot of the early fighters have.
