Dominick Cruz has some fun options ahead of him after beating Pedro Munhoz at UFC 269. Jose Aldo has emerged as one of those options next.

The fight could make sense for both men as they are in the hunt for a title shot at bantamweight. The two former UFC champions could participate in a legends matchup.

“What I’m hearing most from people — I haven’t really made a decision, I haven’t talked to [UFC matchmaker Sean] Shelby or anything, but I’m hearing most that the old legacy fight that never happened between me and [Jose] Aldo is, like, right there,” Cruz said on The MMA Hour following UFC 269. “And I think that that does it. I can completely understand that. I get how that’s an interesting fight for the world. To fight Aldo, it’s an honor.”

Dominick Cruz is not in a rush and wants to make sure he makes the right decision before agreeing to take on Jose Aldo. The two men both competed in WEC and UFC and people have wanted to see the fight for a long time.

“Think of the things this dude’s done,” Cruz said of Aldo. “And he’s also been through the ups and downs of his career, and now made his way back in an extremely respectful form. So that fight, I understand how that can make sense. But I’m going to sit down and, you know, we’ve got to do the talks and see what happens. But you know me — I show up and I do my job, and I’m not a pick-and-chooser. Obviously, people have been calling me out my whole career, people have been comparing me to other people my whole career.

“I’ve done a really good job of not allowing that to make my decisions for me on my own end, and I’m not going to start doing that now. So let’s just see where we go.”

It will be interesting to see if the UFC is interested in a fight between the two men. Both seem interested but would most likely need some kind of promise of a title shot.
