'The Dominator' is planning to return to the Octagon by the end of 2015.
Former UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz has fought just three times in the past four years. The Team Alliance fighter had previously fought up to three times per year, but injury complications have almost devastated his career. The trauma started in 2012, when the Californian was forced to withdraw from his rubber match against long-time nemesis, Urijah Faber. Cruz suffered an ACL tear and subsequently a groin tear; injuries that sidelined the 29-year-old from competition for almost three years and resulted in him relinquishing the title.
