New WEC champion Dominick Cruz expects Jorgensen or Page

World Extreme Cagefighting's latest bantamweight titleholder isn't keen on facing the last guy he beat before the title fight. Dominick Cruz recently told SiriusXM Fight Club:

"They might want to match me up with (Joseph) Benavidez again. I'd rather fight somebody else in the division just because I just fought him less than six months ago, and it was a great fight, but I just want to fight the best guys in the world, and my division is stacked. There's tons of guys that are at Benavidez's level, at my level, and they're all hungry, and I think they should get an opportunity too."

Benavidez tapped out former champion Miguel Torres with a guillotine choke last weekend, on the same night that Cruz defeated Bowles to seize the 135-pound championship. Although Benavidez is the highest-rated bantamweight in WEC who has yet to fight for a title ? he's No. 5 in the USA TODAY/SB Nation consensus rankings ? he already lost to Cruz in August.

Cruz expects to make his first title defense in August against Scott Jorgensen or Damacio Page.

Jorgensen (9-3) raised his WEC record to 5-2 when he caught Chad George with a guillotine choke and submitted him in 31 seconds on Saturday.

Page (15-4) is 3-1 in WEC, including a win over Jorgensen, and hasn't fought since beating Will Campuzano in October. The card for next month's WEC 48 pay-per-view includes a bout between Page and Antonio Banuelos.

A quote from Hardy :mj07: :mj07: :mj07:

"I have had some support from other fighters in the division, and that's been a great help," Hardy said. "All the U.K. fighters I've spoken to are real supportive, and I'm getting a lot of messages from people. But you know, I'm getting messages from all over the world, not just from the U.K. To my surprise, I'm getting a hell of a lot of messages from Canada.
"They usually start with, 'I'm Canadian, but,' and then it goes on to explain that they like Georges St-Pierre, but they're ready for a change, and they want me to win."

Sell outs i tell ya. Sell outs

Hardy is such a buffoon.

I watched the countdown show, with all his shit-talking and playing to the camera. And that staged entrance with Matt Serra at the the end of the show. So ridiculous.

It kind of reminded me of the way Ricardo Mayorga would play to the cameras leading up to his fight with De La Hoya a few years back. They guy is more concerned with acting for the camera (getting his hair perfect, posing in the mirror, etc). Mayorga sold a lot of PPVs, but he got his ass kicked all over the ring.

I'm not as big a fan of GSP as kick is, but I CAN'T WAIT to see George beat the piss out of this jerkoff.

LOL, could there be a safer fight for Randy? I like Rich but he will get pushed around and held up against the cage the whole fight. This one could be as boring as they get. Hopefully Rich can get one straight down the pipe and KO Randy so Randy will retire finally.

ya if Serra had the answers wouldn't he have at least put up a fight in the 2nd bout? I wonder when one of these fighters are gonna realize that a quick knee to GSP face when he goes for a takedown is the answer:mj03:

Spongey: You hit the nail on the head. I would be doing explosive leg exercises in preparation to deliver flying knees the moment he looks like he is going for a take down. He is going to try it, you are likely going down....might as well try to inflict damage in the process. Plus, if it lands cleanly, fight is over.

Did anyone just see Arianny on George Lopez.
She has always came off as a bitch to me, but she seemed pretty cool on it.

She got pressured into going to a nerds HS prom and it looks like she was forced to do it.

Dana probably said bad press is never a good thing.

Well good to see we are back to bashing Dana....for a bit there kegray actually said some nice things:mj07:


How about those guys at DREAM.....real stand up guys.

And how about StrikeForce fucking over 4 fighters ON fight night. In last 5 shows StrikeForce has had guys all ready to fight yet on fight night they don't fight.

Imagine what kegray would do to Dana if UFC did that:scared

Dana started it. :mj07:

Also I think it was more Showtime that said we have to bump those guys for tv and not Strikeforce.

I wish Dana would do us all a favor and bump Guida.
