"I’m sure we can find something nice for Jose"... Dominick Cruz vs Jose Aldo.... Could that be it?

[Kung Fu bb]

As the report below says, Dom doesn´t care about TJ and is more interested in a fight with DJ, Conor or Aldo...
Since DJ and Conor are already scheduled... That could be an opportunity for Dom to make history even further.

And for Aldo, since Conor is not coming back any time soon, this would be a big fight for him too. I believe he would find it nice enough....

and so would everybody.

Dom would have to go up i´m guessing, since it would be hard for Aldo to cut down to BW... and making a catch weight fight would mean no belt... and i´m sure Dom would like to go up and try to get Aldo´s belt at FW.

What do you guys think about this possibility? And about this fight?

Jose Aldo has no promotional value. He was finished by Conor.

Cruz better ignore Aldo and look to fight Conor. That's the only fight that matters.

Aldos a bum at this point

Once again Nielzabub you lack all sense of nuance

 

[Kyler Ruxin]

Would love to see Dom/Aldo at 145.

 

[Leinster Rugby]

Great fight but don't see aldo going for it. Seems he wants a shot at Conor and that's it

 

[The New Sweet Science]

I think Cruz should stay in his division. He has plenty to fight: Garbrandt, Dillashaw, Lineker, even Caraway. Conor was a special exception to the rule and Cruz doesn't have that kind of drawing power. Plus, Aldo is not worth the risk. Like @Ar145984 said, Aldo doesn't have promotional value, especially relative to his skill.

Cain was still esteemed/valued after he got KO'd by JDS.

 

[The New Sweet Science]

For Aldo, it would be a smart move. You get to fight someone a weight class below and would give you nice exposure. Cruz will definitely help sell the fight.

Aldo wants no part of that like Cruz is running from all threats in his division.

Who's Conor's best win?

Not trying to start shit, but other than Cruz putting off the TJ rematch, who else would he be running from in that division?

 

[soulsstealer]

I dont see it happening.

"I tore one ACL once, the other ACL twice, and currently have plantar fasciitis. Lets call out Jose Aldo." - Dominick Cruz

Seriously, you've got to admire the balls.

 

[DS7]

Cruz has his hands full at 135 right now.

lol... imagine what those leg kicks would do if they landed.... shit.

Yes, he does. But let´s face it, the risks are getting higher and the rewards are low, even financially speaking..... He could make more money and history with a fight vs Aldo than with a fight vs Lineker, Garbrandt or TJ..... so why not take his chances?

That`s true but i highly doubt that Aldo wants this right now and i don`t think there is a chance in happening in the near future.

 

[Kung Fu bb]

Also, it´s the best time to make it... Aldo is unhappy with so many lies and empty promises.... the ufc is making this kind of fights for the fans.... nobody is getting reeeeeeally screwed over at BW, Lineker should be next but he isn´t making weight, god damit Lineker!!! Garbrandt doesn´t deserve with only Almeida and Mizugaki and TJ had his chance and we need to give Dom a big challenge..... i can´t think of a bigger challenge for Dom than Aldo.

 

[Adamant]

Cruz vs Aldo would be an awesome fight!

 

[Ramon Antonio]

Aldo should just fuck up the FW division by retiring or sitting out and getting stripped of the interim belt then. Considering how the UFC is with making promises, 'something nice', probably means they'll strip Conor of the FW belt and let him fight Max for the FW belt or some bullshit like that.

You can say what you want but losing the current number one FW (Conor) AND the current number two (Aldo) would be a huge hit for the FW division. Even if Max or anyone else would become champion, there would always be that * that he only won the belt because the number one and two were gone.

 

[Frode Falch]

Aldo vs cruz? Sound like a smart match up. The battle of who pulls out first.

Kinda like trying to make pettis vs kabib
