Given that the Bantamweight division is in a bit of shambles after the champion, Aljamain Sterling has announced that he won’t be able to fight the former champion, Petr Yan, anytime soon. Sean O’Malley believes that this is his best choice. On his YouTube video, Sean said, “Sup, Dom? Heard you’re looking for a big fight.

Who’s a bigger fight than me right now? Cory [Sandhagen] is about to beat the EPO out of TJ [Dillashaw]; Rob [Font] is about to knock out Cody [Gabrandt] for the seventh time this year; Petr [Yan] is disqualified for cheating; Aljo [Aljamain Sterling] is still knocked out from the knee. Who’s a bigger fight?”, said Sean O’Malley.

After being called out by the rising star, Sean O’Malley, UFC veteran Dominick Cruz was asked about this fight in a recent interview. Though Cruz did not technically call Sean out, he responded to the similarities between the two fighters. “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. He 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…”, said Dominick Cruz in the interview.

Cruz recently made a comeback against Casey Kenney at UFC 259. The former two-time bantamweight champion won the fight via unanimous decision. Cruz has a record of 23-3-0 in his career being one of the best bantamweights in the promotion. Do you think Sean O’Malley and Dominick Cruz could possibly make a good fight?
