The opening odds have been released for a potential UFC bantamweight title fight between Dominick Cruz and Henry Cejudo.<\/p>\n

The Cruz vs. Cejudo bout was reported to be in the works by Combate<\/a>, this after Jose Aldo was forced off of the UFC 250 fight card due to the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

UFC 250 was originally slated to place in Aldo’s home nation, but the virus outbreak has forced the promotion to seek a new venue and location, likely on US soul.<\/p>\n

Aldo will now be replaced by\u00a0none other than former bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz.<\/p>\n

‘The Dominator’ has not competed inside the Octagon<\/a> since losing the 135-pound strap to Cody Garbrandt at UFC 207 in December of 2016.<\/p>\n

Although Cruz recently called<\/a> for the Cejudo bout, the announcement still came as a shock given Dominick’s long layoff.<\/p>\n

Oddsmakers @BestFightOdds<\/a> released the opening betting lines for the potential Dominick Cruz vs. Henry Cejudo matchup earlier today and as expected ‘Triple C’ is the favorite.<\/p>\n

Domick Cruz +175<\/p>\n

Henry Cejudo -245<\/p>\n

Despite being the underdog, Cruz in confident he will be able to slap Cejudo around in their proposed title fight.<\/p>\n

“Dear Henry<\/b> Cejudo<\/a>, The real king has already been told that we\u2019re fighting May 9th. I\u2019ll see you there. P.S. -Bring your other tiny lil friend @<\/s>cptdasamericas<\/b><\/a> so I can slap you both around. -Signed, Sealed, Delivered-”<\/p>\n

Henry Cejudo (15-2 MMA) captured the promotions vacant bantamweight title at UFC 238 by defeating Marlon Moraes by way of TKO.<\/p>\n
