Det har varit många turbulenta år för Dominick Cruz, med många skador. Den senaste för bara några månader sedan. Men det verkar som om han är på väg tillbaka till buren igen. Hans kollega, Bellatorlättviktaren Michael Chandler, säger följande i en intervju med Ariel Helwani för The MMA Hour:
He’s doing good. He’s back in the gym this week. He’s not full sparring, but he’s drilling and he’s doing grappling and stuff and getting into that kind of stuff.
Dominick, he’s a warrior,” Chandler told MMAFighting.com. ”To be able to go through what he’s gone through, a 28-year old dude who has the whole world at his fingertips and he has MMA is his thing he’s been doing for 10 years, and to have that taken away for two years, going on three years, and to have the belt taken away, to have to go through that mentally is something that’s going to make him the better man.
He’s more motivated than he’s ever been, because he wants to go out and prove that he should have held on to that bantamweight title,” Chandler said. ”The UFC was great with him, gave him a fair chance. Now he has the opportunity to hopefully get healthy, beat one or two guys and hopefully get a title shot.
Det återstår att se på vilket sätt Cruz kommer att återvända till buren, och hur han ska göra för att undvika fler allvarliga skador i framtiden.
