“I don’t know, I just got cleared by the doctor so I’m good to go,” said Cruz. “I’ll talk to (UFC matchmaker Sean) Shelby, I’ll talk to everybody. I’m on track though. So I will be going to fight. I’m going to fight before the end of the year is my goal so we’ll see what happens. ... I know T.J. Dillashaw and Cody are fighting and I should be having the winner of that.

“That’s what everybody wants to see so hopefully somebody gets some wits about them and gives me that fight right away. We’ll see what happens.”

Cant wait to see him back in there. Hope he can keep that glass body of his from breaking longer this time.

Will cruz ever regain the title? Or better yet.... should he even fight for the title next?

Cruz is a legend. Beats TJ again and then Cody. Goes down as top 5 of all time.

 

[Haj01]

Cleared to fight.

for now...

 

[Ace88]

Nice. Top guys need to be fighting more often. I’m not a huge fan of Cruz but I like watching the best fighters compete at each weight class and he’s definitely one of the best.

 

[jonnyboy316]

That would be fair on Marlon Moreas. Not

 

[dildos]

bullshit, he will get injured tomorrow.

 

[juanM3]

I think Moraes is ahead of him. Cruz vs Assuncao for next.

Cruz is kind of like Gus. Both great fighters who definitely could win the title but just barely fight. They've barely fought but are still holding out for a title shot.

 

[quantiqus]

Dominick Cruz is the BW GOAT for now and one of the smartest fighters, but give a chance to Moraes or Assuncao, for fucks sake!

 

[joeyjoejoe]

It’s been so long since he fought I thought he retired, was he out with an injury?

 

[SaigeVanZant]

He should get ready for next week. We still have a week of event pullout to come.

 

[chinarice]

Cruz has zero business fighting the winner of these two.

He should be fighting Moraes, Rivera, lineker or assuncao.

All because Cruz is their little lover boy. So silly. If him and TJ fight again, I hope TJ headkicks his stupid head off. If he fights Cody again, I hope Cody humiliates him again.

 

[The Domin8or]

Cant wait for the GOAT to get his belt back and defend his belt for at least 4 more times then go down as one of the GOATs

That would be fair on Marlon Moreas. Not

But if Moraes gets a title shot that wont be fair on Assuncao either ? Rankings and Resume>Hype

 

[IMPmmath]

He needs to fight Assuncao first.Moraes earned his ts after back to back ko's over Sterling and Rivera.

 

[Morning Star]

WME will let him cut the line. This is the same company that gave BS title shots to GSP/Hendo at MW, gave a BS shot to Faber, and is about to give a BS shot to Cody and Brock. They only care about numbers not rankings.

 

[PokerMage]

i like Cruz and glad he is back healthy well for now. future hof fighter for sure.

but i want to see Cruz vs DJ II at 135 winner gets a titleshot.

 

[Matthew Fedler]

Give either Assuncao or Moraes the next title shot and the other can fight Cruz.

Edit - If TJ/Cody fights Mighty Mouse then Cruz vs Assuncao and Moraes vs Lineker.

 

[Deleted member 436105]

Often injured. Got waxed by Cody and hasn’t fought in a year and a half. No that’s ok. I deserved to leapfrog Moraes and Assuncao

 

[Deleted member 436105]

He honestly shouldn’t even fight those guys. He should be fighting sterling or lineker

Assunsao doesn't finish fights, has a loss to the current champ already which was an uncompetitive snooze fest, and only two judges and assunsao's mom don't think he should have lost to Marlon in his debut.

I'm not disagreeing with you, you make a solid point. But there are points in the other direction too.

Either way, Cruz is behind those two.

Cruz is kind of like Gus. Both great fighters who definitely could win the title but just barely fight. They've barely fought but are still holding out for a title shot.

except Cruz was the dominant champ of that division for a few years while Gus has always played second fiddle.
