Cruz’s record is outstanding, he has held multiple titles and was also the final WEC Bantamweight champion. Cruz is a veteran and knows all about performing at the highest level. He knows if he fights well and keeps moving up in the division, a title shot will eventually come.
While in conversation Cruz said,” I’m here working up the division just like I’ve always done like you said in 2009 I faced Joseph Benavidez for three rounds and that led me to the next fight which became a title shot.”
So it’s like each fight gets you closer to where you’re looking to be. I’m always looking to be at the top but I’m not sitting here like waiting for something, I just gotta take what comes and the only thing I got to wait on is my body being healthy, when my body is healthy I perform at a championship level.”
