I need him, I need Joe Rogan, I need Michael Bisping, I need Felder, I need all of them. He says I’m dry, I say I add a lot of seasoning, but I need him in order to be successful in that job,” said Cruz.

I guess the rest of it, I conveniently don’t remember,” Cruz told media outlets following the fight. “Last I know is, he’s on his back and I’m on top.
