"I don't even know if I can fight Dominick Cruz anymore. After this fight dude, he's not really on my radar, he's kind of down like, like he might have to ask me for a fight. He lost that, which is not a good move for him. Me calling out Dominic Cruz after I get a win whether he wins or loses is just like, people kind of they're gonna still want to see it but what is it? I don't know, is he even main eventing the prelims anymore? Poor guy!"

Sean O'Malley and Dominick Cruz will share the UFC 269 card
Sean O'Malley will face Raulian Paiva at UFC 269. A win over Paiva could lead to O'Malley breaking into the top 15 of the stacked UFC bantamweight rankings. On the back of a few impressive wins, O'Malley could have a tough task ahead of himself at UFC 269. However, given how impressive he has been lately, one could certainly expect 'Suga' to put together another clinical performance.
Dominick Cruz will face Pedro Munhoz in another exciting bantamweight showdown at UFC 269. Munhoz is coming off a loss to Jose Aldo and will aim to get back into the win column with a victory over Cruz, who's coming off a win over Casey Kenney.
