DOMINICK CRUZ | EP 14 | Iron Minds | FULL EPISODE

Special Guest Dominick Cruz is one of the greatest UFC fighters of all time.  

Dominick Rojelio Cruz (born September 3, 1985) is an American professional mixed martial artist, who is currently signed to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). He is a former two-time UFC Bantamweight Champion and was also the final bantamweight titleholder of World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC).

Cruz is noted for his unorthodox movement, powerful wrestling base, quick striking, and his tendency to attack from angles in a fashion unlike any other fighter on the UFC roster. He won the WEC bantamweight title in March 2010, and won the inaugural UFC Bantamweight Championship the following December. After defending the belt twice in 2011, Cruz was sidelined by injuries in 2012 and subsequently stripped of the title in 2014. On January 17, 2016, he regained the bantamweight championship with a split-decision win over T.J. Dillashaw. Numerous media outlets called this victory the greatest comeback story in MMA history.
