Shortly thereafter, he made waves by telling MMA reporter Ariel Helwani that he was <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/cody-garbrandt\/ufc-207-title-win-cody-garbrandt-targets-money-fight-jose-aldo\/\">interested in a &#8220;money fight&#8221; with reigning UFC featherweight champ Jose Aldo<\/a>.

He is, however, still keen on the idea of a do-over with Dominick Cruz.
