    dana white even said cruz missed out on an opportunity to make a couple million fighting due to being injured. Cruz pushes the limits of what I thought one man could deal with

    • @UniversalisLogica
      @UniversalisLogica 8 років тому +6

      Cruz was set for a title defense against Faber on the July 2012 show coming off Ultimate Fighter when he tore his ACL a few weeks before the fight. Faber vs. Cruz was part of a show with Silva vs Sonnen. That show did 925,000 buys, and if you had loaded it with another title match, it would have probably topped 1 million. Cruz had a percentage, and we’re talking his cut would have been way into the seven figures, basically the kind of money that bantamweights aren’t’ going to make.

  • @timekeeperboi
    @timekeeperboi 8 років тому

    I cant help but to love this guy. I never ever counted him out. Never. The craft he perfected, is a craft that was years ahead of his time. As time passed him buy in the cage, and new champions were crowned out of that fray... (After that match he had with TJ).. one thing clearly has remained constant, and that one thing is that, people are still years behind the craft he created years ago. (beautiful job Dom).. Hope he remains champ for years to come. He just solidifies to me, what a champion should be like. Him and Demetrious. They both are just the epitome of what championship caliber fighter is.
