UFC legend Dominick Cruz retires as ‘complicated’ injury derails final fight The former bantamweight champion was due to face Rob Font on 22 February.
Cruz, widely considered the greatest bantamweight in MMA history, was due to fight Rob Font on 22 February, but a “complicated” injury ruled the American out of that bout – which was planned as his retirement fight.
Cruz bounced back from that TKO loss with two straight wins, but following the collapse of his fight with Font, his final bout will go down as a knockout by Marlon Vera in August 2022.
Cruz’s second reign as champion ended in December 2016, as he lost a decision to Cody Garbrandt in a surprisingly one-sided fight.
Dominick Cruz has announced his retirement as a mixed martial artist, ending a career worthy of a place in the UFC Hall of Fame.
