Legacy fight, anyone?
Both Dominick Cruz and Jose Aldo were WEC champions in their respective divisions, then UFC champions after the 2010 merger. They both went 2-0 in 2021 and are still very much relevant as title contenders.
Cruz recently appeared on The MMA Hour to discuss what’s next for him, and while nothing is set in stone, the former bantamweight king is interested in taking on the ex-featherweight titleholder.
“What I’m hearing most from people — I haven’t really made a decision, I haven’t talked to [UFC matchmaker Sean] Shelby or anything, but I’m hearing most that the old legacy fight that never happened between me and [Jose] Aldo is, like, right there,” Cruz said (via MMA Fighting).
