Dominick Cruz calls Marlon Vera and Henry Cejudo to Rematch
Cruz’s interest in a rematch with Marlon Vera stems from their previous encounter. The two faced off at UFC 299, where Vera secured a unanimous decision victory. Despite the loss, Cruz believes he can turn the tables and prove that he still has what it takes to compete at the highest level. Vera, coming off a recent loss to Sean O’Malley, presents an intriguing challenge for Cruz.
Henry Cejudo, a former Olympic gold medalist and two-division UFC champion, is another fighter on Dominick Cruz’s radar. Their first meeting took place at UFC 249, where Cejudo emerged victorious via TKO. Cruz aims to avenge that defeat and showcase his resilience. Cejudo’s retirement from MMA adds an extra layer of intrigue to a potential rematch, as fans wonder if he would come out of retirement for a showdown with Cruz.
As Dominick Cruz prepares for his comeback, fans eagerly await official announcements regarding these rematches. Both Vera and Cejudo have their own motivations, and their clashes with Cruz promise to be intense battles inside the Octagon. Whether Cruz can regain his former glory remains to be seen, but his determination and skill make these rematches must-watch events for MMA enthusiasts.
