Dominick Cruz Isn’t Interested in Fight with Raphael Assuncao

Dominick Cruz isn’t down with a possible fight against Raphael Assuncao. MMAjunkie asked Cruz about a possible fight with Assuncao after the latter called Cruz out following his win at UFC on FOX 23, and the former bantamweight champion had other fights on his mind.

“It’s not a question of if I’ll fight him,” Cruz said. “I fight the best in the world. I’m ready to fight for the belt. That’s what I’m in line for. That’s who I’m here to fight – the best. That would be the next guy who thinks they’re the champion, and I can take the belt from him. That’s not Assuncao, and I’m not the guy for him. … I’m fighting for the title when I come back, and that’s the end of it.”
