Why is Dominick Cruz so confrontational?

[ImmigrantMentality]

Even doing random interviews with other people he wants to get under their skin for no reason at all.

 

[Kal Drago]

He's an angry person.

 

[TheIrishPsycho]

Because he's a manlet,

Ever wonder why the smaller dogs bark louder TS?

 

[TigerUppercut]

His way of mental warfare. Shit gets annoying after awhile and gets ppl out of character

 

[jeff7b9]

He seems like he is a bit of a dick.

chip on his shoulder, napolean complex, etc

 

[Local Plata]

Because he only fights once every 4 years and has to somehow try to remain relevant in MMA.

The best was against Cody. Cody's kinda dumb and emotional, he got so triggered lol.

Yea but he doesn't just do it to people who are rivals in his weight class, he does it to people he's interviewing or working with when he's supposed to be a commentator

 

[Swoliosis]

Lol he's just a dick

Trash talk between him and Yan should be MEAN

 

[Prince Nephilim]

Little man syndrome

 

[beephin]

He reminds me so much of Luke Thomas.
He's like the fighting version of him.
Cruz has always rubbed me the wrong way.

Just seems super insecure.
Was dying when Faber called him "The Decision-ator"

That worked out well.

 

[Spookv]

Because Kenda left him when he got injured, he was tolerable back then. Now he just seems salty at everything.

 

[MRT]

It is really weird and it has been quite annoying when he is in the booth (much better on the analyst table between/after fights IMHO), but then sometimes his good side comes out too.

Remember on Helwani's show earlier this year, when he talked about persevering through all of his injuries, and he drew analogies with Helwani's situation when he was 'banned' by UFC, look where he is now, etc? It was actually a really nice moment.

 

[MuayThaiBX]

He seems very self serious and wound tightly. Very quick to quarrel if somebody disagrees with him - even on menial things.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Mostly Fight Hype..

 

[Ackmed]

Because he is trying. To. Gas. Them. Out.

 

[djacobox372]

He's a counter-fighter, he needs guys to come at him.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Seems that most that have reached the top of their sport have a bit of arrogance about them. But most don't get to interview others in their field... Plus he has always (since first fight vs Faber in WEC) had an I am better than you complex...
