Video: Dominick Cruz says it would be “devastating” to have his title taken away

UFC Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz has not set foot inside the Octagon since October 1, 2011 when he defeated Demetrious Johnson to retain his title.

Cruz was the coach of “The Ultimate Fighter Live” alongside rival Urijah Faber and the two were expected to fight at the end of the season. Unfortunately “The Dominator” was forced to withdraw from the match due to a torn ACL. He has since undergone another ACL surgery after his body rejected one from a cadaver on the first attempt.

Check out how the champ is doing in this video below thanks to our good friend Rick Lee.
