“Am I interested in fighting in (2021) again? Yes. Do I need to call out one specific person? No. Am I saying no to one specific person? No. And I could also see how that could be a matchup that people are talking about. He feints a lot. Uses his range well. He is tall, he is long. I am tall, I am long. I use feints. We have a lot of similarities.”, Cruz said.

Whether a fight between Sean O’Malley and Cruz happens is unknown, but if it does, it would be great to watch. The fight happening is a high probability, As Cory Sandhagen is all set to face TJ Dillashaw, while Garbrandt and Font are also scheduled to fight. This leaves O’Malley the best option for Cruz and vice versa.
