Dominick Cruz Interested in Taking Conor McGregor's Belt

[ReadWrite]

A move up to the featherweight division is not beyond the realms of possibility as 'The Domin8er' has stated on numerous occasions that he's willing to fight anyone.

That would almost invariably involve a fight with McGregor, who has yet to defend his 145-pound title.
Cruz has never shied away from a challenge in his career and wouldn't do so if he was offered a fight with McGregor.

"I've got no issues with fights with any of those guys. They'd have a hard catching me and they'd have a harder time hitting me. And, a harder time stopping my takedowns.

"I'm a problem for anybody."

Would watch.

Cruz is goat material imo, McGregor i dont know.

There are no great fights left for him at BW. He should move up and try to make a fool of Conor. His footwork is probably better.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Conor KO.

 

[HomeRun916]

Cruz out works him to a finish.

Agreed, the only interesting fights for Cruz are superfights.

Cruz vs. Edgar

Cruz vs. MM

Cruz vs. McGregor

Cruz, please stay healthy and defend 135 by beating Dillashaw/Assuncao winner, the Garbrandt/Caraway winner, then somehow force Demetrius to fight you at 135 and beat him yet again, then move up to 145 and fight Conor and Edgar (or whoever has the belt), and retire as one who could legitimately be called the GOAT.

Cruz can't take Conor's power but can Conor hit Cruz?

 

[Lay N Pray 101]

Conor doesn't want none.

Fucking lol. That fight would be so one-sided. Conor can't wrestle - unless he's panicking - and Cruz is one of the best wrestlers in MMA.

Conor also hasn't fought anyone even remotely close to Cruz on the feet. Siver? Mendez? Give me a break.

 

[KONE]

LMAO Conor missed a fuckton of his strikes against Diaz, who wasn't even in optimal fighting shape considering he had no training camp and didn't spar at all

Imagine him trying to hit Cruz.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

Sounds like a big money fight for all involved. Let's do it.

 

[El_Diazo]

Cruz would run circles around him. Could outwrestle him too.

 

[Voyageur]

Conner was getting rustled when he could not land on Nate. He will probably go insane when he fights Cruz and doesn't land a single strike.

 

[themainman]

But Nate has the mcgregor belt

Aldo is pretty good.

 

[Chris John]

I like that fight

 

[Get_that_yayo]

Conor is a lot bigger than him and has much better stand-up. It at least would be interesting. Personally I think that 135 division is a joke and makes it hard to gauge how good Cruz really is.

 

[xhaydenx]

Aldo is pretty good.

Yeah, Aldo is. That fight just didn't go long enough for us to learn anything other than Aldo was gotten to and got sucked in to rushing forward, chin out.
