Dominick Cruz reacts to being named as a UFC Hall of Fame inductee
UFC legend Dominick Cruz has given his thoughts on being named as part of this year’s Hall of Fame class.
When you talk about important figures in the sport of mixed martial arts, especially in some of the smaller weight classes, Dominick Cruz has to be up there with the best of them. If he didn’t have so many of his best years taken away from him due to injury, there’s no telling what he would have been able to achieve. Alas, he still has an unbelievable legacy at the elite level, and over the weekend, it was announced that he would be entering the UFC Hall of Fame.
Dominick Cruz has fought some of the very best that the bantamweight division has had to offer throughout the course of his career and beyond that, he also has one of the best minds that we have ever seen in the sport. His analysis and breakdowns are amongst the very best, and even though he no longer actively competes, he will continue to be an important part of the UFC family for a long time.
In an amusing clip, Michael Bisping grabbed an ‘exclusive’ chat with Dominick Cruz at the weekend, which started off with the pair telling war stories about their respective injuries.
Dominick Cruz on UFC Hall of Fame induction
“Fourteen different surgeries through my career, not proud of that, being the most injured champion and fighter. One of the most injured. But, making it through and coming out and winning on top is what I’m grateful to God for giving me the strength to do.”
We imagine that Cruz is going to give a truly magnificent speech when he gets up there during International Fight Week, and with the names that are already in there, it makes sense for Dom to join them.
