News Dominick Cruz Officially Retires

[Black9]

Retiring in an injury w/o a fight. :/

Only Aldo & Jones left from Famous 2012-13 champ crew.
Which both may retire this year.

Best BW Of All Time? Thoughts?

 

[Siver!]

Yeah, that was a real possibility. Gutted for Dom, deserved an in-cage moment.

I'm sure he'll be headed for the UFC Hall of Fame though and hopefully when they dish that out they catch him off guard!

 

[Mongoose]

Probably for the best, he’s always been injury prone.

The little guy bugs me, but for sure it would have been good to let him have one last bash, win or lose. He did deserve it as you say.

 

[Feaser]

Should have retired years ago.

 

[SamuraiBro]

Thank you Cruz. You were one of the first fighters who got me into mma and to start training. All the best boss

 

[Gabe]

Long overdue. Still the GOAT bantamweight.

Very fitting end to his career. One of best and most unique fighters of all-time.

 

[mogul]

I thought he retired back in 2018

What a blue balls of a career. Always depressing to think what he could've done without half of the injuries he suffered, but im glad i was around in his prime anyways.

That movement was something

 

[Dorkman]

Tragic to say, but really kind of the expected type ending of his career. One of the most injury plagued careers we've ever seen.

 

[Contempt]

Crazy how much of his career was wasted with all these injuries.

Could definitely have gone down as one of the greats if he hadn't lost so much of his prime.

 

[ChangeIsComing]

Even with all the injuries over his career he is stille best BW to ever do it.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Sad that he couldn't retire on a win, but at least we're getting him back on commentary.

 

[Flower2dPeople]

No Aldo fight.




Enjoy your retirement Dom.

 

[HunterAcosta]

Amazing how far he got being glass man.

 

[mkess101]

That style and those movements are what made him a puzzle that nobody could solve for quite awhile. They're also what likely led to the amount of injuries he had.

One of the more unique fight styles ever. Was always interesting to watch him operate in the cage.

 

[Ironheart]

Enjoy retirement Dom. Not a big fan of his personality usually, but I respect him immensely as a fighter.

Respekt! Guy is a warrior.
