This whole injury thing really sucks, I was excited for his return. :(
Anybody else miss him or just me?
I know people hate on him and his style but I enjoy it. he is the best BW in the world and I really want to see him vs Barao to unify the belts.
Do people hate his style because of the movement or because he isnt a finisher?
I think alot has to do with no finishing, doesnt matter how technical a fighter is, how great his style is, a guy like Cruz, Edgar, GSP they get hated on because they dont finish.
Ya hes one of my fav fighters I hope baroa holds onto the interim belt long enough to fight him cuz that would be a nuts fight

I think it all has to do with not finishing guys, he's great at everything though and very entertaining to me so I don't understand the hate on him.
I really hope he fights Barao, that'd be a sick fight.
Good thread, I agree. Hopefully no more setbacks this time.
AresSmashedPrahjuhdee - i MiSS hiM COZ he'S my BBY <3
Tell Dominick to get better from the UG, Mrs. Cruz.
And to shitdog, who dropped him from their bantamweight rankings:
If you don't think Dominick Cruz is the champ, step into the octagon and fight him!

I don't hate Cruz as a person. I think it really sucks that he is out for so long and has to go through all of this crap.
However, I don't like him as a fighter. My personal opinion is both his extremely weird of bouncing back and forth, as well as his lack of finishing. I can't stand either one of them. That is just my personal feeling. Wish him the best in a speedy recovery though.

would love for barao to fight cruz and do hope for this to happen.
mayday cruz isn't that bad either, cruz would be the heavy favorite and win on points but who knows mayday could very will finish cruz the kid is freakin a for awesomee
He gets a lot of shit on here for his fighting style. I enjoy it though.
I miss Cruz.
I miss him. I think he's a great champion and I enjoy watching him fight.
It's not that he doesn't finish fights that really bothers me. It just seems that especially more recently, he has fallen into the mode where he's ok with just winning, and not finishing. I understand with a guy like Frankie not being able to finish, he is a much smaller guy fighting guys who are cutting from 170-180. Cruz is a big BW, and I feel like he could go for the finish more. He is very technical, his pace is relentless, I just feel like he can finish some of the guys he fights. He is very skilled, and his fight with DJ impressed me. We will see how he looks against Barao, it will be a great fight. It just seems like he's comfortable and doesn't want to lose the belt.
what would sakuraba do - Hi there vix! How they hangin'? Youve got good taste in hair.
Hello :)
Do you mean my hair?
what would sakuraba do - Plus that crazy unstoppable knee-tap! Im sad now. Thanks op.
I'm sorry, fren, I just never see him talked about anymore on here so I wanted to make a thread about him.
I don't understand the whole finishes = excitement thing, I find Cruz to be very exciting.
