Dominick Cruz Retires Due to Injury

Former UFC Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz has officially retired after suffering a career-ending injury that forced him to withdraw from his fight against Rob Font.

“About eight weeks before the incident I talked about, I had a dislocation. It kind of set the stage for… the final blow that changed everything,” Cruz revealed.

During one of his last training sessions, Cruz suffered a severe knee ligament tear, making a return to the octagon impossible.

• Two-time UFC Champion
• Future Hall of Famer? Likely soon.
