Dominick Cruz: I 'never really know' where I stand with Dana White

Newly-crowned UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz has to be on something of a high. While life hasn't changed overnight for the Alliance MMA fighter, a lot has. Cruz returned from something approximating four years of accumualted injury time off to defeat T.J. Dillashaw on Sunday to become the champion again. In the interim, he's grown his profile as a television analyst for the Fox family of networks as he covers various UFC events.

Still, he isn't sure exactly how company brass feels about him. When asked by Ariel Helwani on Tuesday's The MMA Hour if there was a hint of tension between he and UFC President Dana White, Cruz seemed unsure of how to describe their relationship.
