Dominick Cruz, the former UFC bantamweight champion and one of the brightest minds in MMA, has made it clear he’s not done yet.
After years of injuries, comebacks and silencing critics, Cruz is determined to make another run at the top.
In his most recent comments, he confidently reiterated his plans to return to the octagon, pointing to potential matchups that already have fans talking.
One of the fights people are most excited about is a potential matchup against Jose Aldo, a legend in his own right. Jose Aldo recently came out of retirement to face Jonathan Martinez at UFC 301, winning by unanimous decision.
Cruz believes the time could be right for the two to square off in a dream fight between two of the best fighters to ever step foot in the cage. A clash of legacies, Aldo vs. Cruz would be a fight that would be talked about for years to come.
But Cruz doesn’t stop at dream fights. He’s also mentioned the possibility of settling unfinished scores. A rematch against Cody Garbrandt-theman who dethroned him in 2016-could be on the horizon.
Garbrandt’s fall has not gone unnoticed, and a second fight could be the perfect opportunity for Cruz to prove that defeat was just a stumble along the way.
And then there’s Henry Cejudo, the man who handed him his most recent defeat and has not stopped provoking him. Cruz sees a second chance against Cejudo not only as a personal mission, but as the road back to a title shot.
If they meet again, expect a high-stakes war where both will have a lot to prove.
For Cruz, this isn’t just about a comeback-it’s about cementing his legacy as one of the best bantamweights of all time.
With names like Aldo, Garbrandt and Cejudo in the mix, Cruz’s return could shake up the division. Fans know one thing for sure: when “The Dominator” is focused, you can’t miss it!
