Cruz and fellow Fox Sports analyst Michael Bisping held court at a media event Thursday evening here at the Fairmont Palliser, and the former UFC bantamweight champion was asked if a possible matchup with top contender Marlon Moraes could be in store for him with the winner potentially facing the winner of next weekend’s UFC 227 main event between current bantamweight titleholder T.J. Dillashaw and rival Cody Garbrandt.
Both men have crossed paths with Cruz before in title fights, with Cruz defeating Dillashaw at a UFC Fight Night in Boston back in January 2016 and losing to Garbrandt 11 months later at UFC 207.
