No Immediate Title shot for Cruz upon return

[acewayne]

Preview for UFC tonight just stated it before the commercial break. I wonder what the stated reason will be.

Edit:
Cruz's camp stated he's looking to return to the octagon in 2-4 months.

They also asked how Cruz's camp felt about fighting Mizugaki and they said they liked it but the UFC is taking it slow to see how his body responds before booking him in another fight.

He needs a warm-up fight before a title shot imo. Hes been out for a while now.

A warm up is necessary. October 2011 was a long time ago.

Cruz vs Dillashaw - "Motion Sickness"

 

[One Inch Punch]

A warm up is necessary. October 2011 was a long time ago.

Shit almost 3 years

Man i can't wait for Cruz to come back and domin8

Either right before or right after UFC 173 Dana said he won't deny Cruz a Title shot if that's what he wants but he thinks that Cruz should opt for a warm up fight first

Cruz vs Mizugaki title eliminator for the next contender after Assuncao.

 

[BROWNPRIDE]

give him roop he needs a warm up fight

 

[SenorGuillen]

Cruz vs Dillashaw - "Motion Sickness"

Except Dillashaw's face will be a mess just like what Barao did to him.

Good. I prefer it that way. He definitely needs a few warm up fights to get himself back to his cocky self.

 

[goldentoe]

I dont like it. he was the champ he should be fighting for the belt...I lost a lot of respect for cruz.

todays fighters sure are soft.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Can't wait to see his return! One of the best.

Finally Dom is getting back, it feels like he haven't fought for years...

 

[Steveston]

Takeya Mizugaki Vs Dominick Cruz would be neat.

 

[manapua]

No shit he's not getting a title shot. He's been out for like 10 years already.

 

[Scheme]

So? The kid has fought nobodies since 2011.

 

[Billthebutcher2]

It's definitely best that he gets a warm up fight, or even two.

 

[Chramelated]

2-4 months man? Fuck that's depressing.
