Dominick Cruz says accidents performs a consider determination

“I checked out that combat. I’m going, ‘Okay, don’t be too harsh on your self. That is a part of the sport. You get hit. You get caught. These items occur.’ However I used to be within the combat. I wasn’t slower, I wasn’t trying behind a step,” Cruz added. “I wasn’t not selecting the nice methods. These are all issues I add to my mindset earlier than shifting into this final 9 months as properly. The abilities are nonetheless there. It’s only a matter of all of the accidents and stuff. Can I maintain them collectively to get by means of the camp? The camp is the onerous half. Everyone knows that. It’s not likely the combat.”

Even when Dominick Cruz wins and turns again the clock, he believes UFC Seattle would be the closing time he fights.

Cruz is 24-4 and can flip 40 years previous in March, so he’ll retire simply earlier than he turns 40. Cruz is the previous bantamweight champ and has notable wins over Demetrious Johnson, Urijah Faber, Joseph Benavidez, and TJ Dillashaw amongst others.
