Dominick Cruz, former UFC lightweight champion, has revealed his career plans. According to Cruz, he would like to have two rematches - with Marlon Vera and Henry Cejudo.
"I would like to rematch Marlon Vera. I gave away three competitive rounds in my fight with him and I know I can perform well in a rematch. I would also settle for a second fight with Henry Sejudo. Either way, those two guys are on my radar right now. I lost to both of them," Cruz said.
Recall that Vera Cruz lost by knockout in the fourth round, and Sehudo lost by TKO in the second round.
Henry Cejudo, former UFC champion in two weight categories, commented on the title prospects of the promotion's middleweight prospect Bo Nickal. According to Henry, Bo needs to win 10 more fights to become champion.
"Nickal needs to have a full three-round fight. He needs to get a feel for it. After all, if he wants to be champion, he's going to have to have five-round fights against Strickland, Costa, Whittaker or Cannonier. There are a lot of tough guys fighting at middleweight. So he needs to hold his horses. I think he needs to win about 10 more fights to become champion," Sejudo said on the YouTube show Pound4Pound.
Earlier, Robert Whittaker, former UFC middleweight champion, said that Nickal is not ready for top-10 opponents.
Henry Cejudo, a former UFC champion in two weight classes, has named Islam Makhachev as the main threat at the moment to the organization's current lightweight champion.
"I don't think Tsarukyan won by split decision. In my opinion, Arman definitely took the second and third rounds. And his ability to get out of the choke hold in the first round says a lot about Tsarukyan in general. This guy is the biggest threat to champion Islam Makhachev. Because Arman can fight, because he's short, and Makhachev has problems with lowly opponents. Arman Tsarukyan should fight the winner of the Islam Makhachev vs. Dustin Porier fight," Sehudo said on the YouTube show Pound4Pound.
Henry Cejudo, former UFC champion in two weight categories, shared his opinion on the upcoming fight between Islam Makhachev and Dustin Porier. Sehudo believes that this fight is extremely important for Dustin because it will be his third title shot.
"Stylistically, Makhachev is an improved version of Khabib Nurmagomedov with a better striking game. Great top control like Khabib. Islam continues to learn from Khabib and that makes him extremely dangerous. Khabib has already fought Dustin Puryear. And in general, it's a matter of life and death for Dustin, because this is his third title shot," - said Sehudo on the air of the YouTube show Pound4Pound.
Recall, Makhachev's fight with Puryear will take place at UFC 302 in Newark (USA) on June 1.
Henry Cejudo, a former UFC champion in two weight classes, has reacted to allegations against Jon Jones that he assaulted a female employee of the anti-doping agency DFSI.
