At UFC Long Island, rising bantamweight star Jimmie Rivera extended his winning streak to 20 by out pointing Brazilian Mauy Thai expert Thomas Almedia (21-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC).
Rivera (21-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) made a post fight callout of former titleholder Dominick Cruz also TUF 25 coach T.J. Dillashaw is in his sights.
Curren Champion Cody Garbrandt is out injured so a straight title shot may be out of the question, but we all know the UFC loves a good interim title bout and Jimmie Rivera is fine sitting it out if it involves a shot at gold in the 135 division!

Ok, just wanted to give a heads up. I head to double check the spelling myself when I interviewed him.

Jimi called Cruz out but as he was walking out he spoke to Cruz saying he respected him but had to call him out.
Cruz would school Jimi, Jimi would have a better chance against Cody.
