Dillashaw wants Cruz next

With a dominating win over Renan Barao this weekend, TJ DIllashaw has his eyes set on the only other man to hold the bantamweight title: Dominick Cruz.

In a perfect world, Dillashaw would like to face Cruz for his next title defense so they can settle the debate once and for all who is the only true UFC bantamweight champion.

“(Dominick Cruz) that’s the biggest fight,” Dillashaw said at the post fight press conference. “That’s what’s going to make my name the biggest, fighting Cruz, at this weight class. As soon as he’s able to come back.”

The problem Dillashaw has with that matchup is Cruz’s ability to stay healthy enough to actually make the fight happen. As dominant has Cruz has been when he’s fighting, it’s his own body that’s prevented him from climbing back into the cage time and time again.

“If he stays healthy. I don’t know if he can. Come on Dominick. Let’s get after it,” Dillashaw said. “He used to be the champ.”
