Cruz says, “The guy smelled like alcohol and cigarettes, so who knows what he was doing? I wish they drug tested them.” Along with this, he requested Nevada Athletic State Commission not to appoint Keith Peterson as a referee in his fight.
He added, “I would hope that they wouldn’t do that, Marc Ratner reached out and said that he could make sure that the commission doesn’t put him out there to ref my match. I don’t really feel safe with him as a referee.”
“But you can’t control the commission. The commission runs itself. It’s an outside entity on purpose. If they decide to do that, I don’t know why they would do that, but they might. What can you do?”
“On the night of, I don’t think I could do anything of it if they decided to do that. I think I would just be in that position.”
