If AJ wins, do we still need to see AJ-Ruiz III?

I guess it depends on the nature of the victory...

It seems onlt fair that a third fight happens.

[KTFOKING]

Depends on the type of fight we get. And I mean we may still need a trilogy to settle this, but it doesn't necessarily need to happen next.

[JimRaynor]

Depends how he wins, if he blows him out like Lewis Rahman II, then no, if its a war with AJ getting dropped and coming back to win then absolutely yes.

[Kezzer]

It will depend but in reality because of mandatory position status I suspect he will end up fighting mandatories first anyway..

In a scenario where people demand a rematch it probably was a war , in which case it would be preferable to take on a Pulev instead as a warm up anyway.

You answered your own ? and I agree.

I don’t think Haymon would want to do another event he doesn’t control. If AJ wins I think Haymon is perfectly fine using Ruiz’s name to put on shows with his own heavyweights and maximize his earnings on the event.
It is an interesting question of if Ruiz has a rematch clause if he loses. I would doubt that TBH.

I think Ruiz has a stronger chin and more power. AJ will land some great shots but in the end Ruiz will overwhelmed him again. I honestly don't think there will be a third fight because Andy will unfortunately apply the handbrake on AJs reign.

If AJ crushes Ruiz ala Lewis/Rahman 2 there is no need.
