Arguably the greatest fighter ever to compete at 135 pounds, Dominick Cruz’s time in the UFC has nevertheless been frustrating.
Since being brought over with the rest of the World Extreme Cagefighting roster back in 2011, “The Dominator” has only fought five times inside the Octagon, his tenure with the UFC ravaged by a pair of major knee injuries and more recently a broken arm. That latest setback cost him a bout vs. top contender Jimmie Rivera at UFC 219 in December and seven months later Cruz has yet to be booked for a fight in 2018.
