Dominick Cruz’s evolution is inspiring - Once a young sneering, lofty champion kid thinking the world was his, the worst tragedies fell on him, trails & tribulations that we would have understood if he was completely beaten by - it would have been okay if he was defeated by that. It’s everyone’s worst nightmare. But he managed to make that furnace carve & mould him into the best human being he could be. The guy is a True Legend🙌🦾🙏💙

@electrixm89 2 года назад

very eloquent of you, definitely one of a kind in the UFC. he's always had it in him to excel in academia I feel, doctorate level the way he talks and thinks. Inspiring dude.

Chito's story is cool ...but Dom story is just something else , if Dominick beats chito and show how makes it to title fight and wins again that will most iconic mma moments and story in general and we have to count him as one of the goats , dude is now fighting 3rd generation of top 5 bantamweights

@CubensisEnjoyer 2 года назад

A lot of fighters like to cap when they describe themselves, but you can tell both of these guys are exactly who they say they are. I think Chito Vera has the edge but it would be a pretty powerful statement if Dominick Cruz were to come out and dominate somehow. Can't wait for this match up.

Dom and Aldo have similar storylines. Became dominant champs in the lower weights of WEC, came straight into the UFC as champs, defended it. Then lost the title. And now are both past their primes yet still winning impressive fights against top level fighters.

@kiabtoomlauj6249 2 года назад

Dom's exceptional, for his time. But, unfortunately, I think unless Chito makes a big mistake, he will be a bit too much for Dom. The two are almost a decade a part. But if you take into consideration Cruz's many injuries and surgeries, they're more than 10 years apart in MMA years. Anyway, I never understand how a 5'8" guy has longer legs than HW Stipe... And the different ways he's able to use those outlier's legs, while standing, and the skills he has in BJJ... again, Dom was an exceptional fighter but his time has come and gone, I do believe...

@travisdray1221 2 года назад

6:36 Haha, that cut to Dom just getting repaired up like some broken machine. I know both no doubt get recovery, but haha just really goes along with his story of being injured/sidelined for ages. Dom really has had a rough go of it.

Chito (#6) is fighting Dom (#9), and Sean O’Malley (#14) is fighting Petr Yan (#1). On their way up, Suga got no name fights (except for Munoz), while Vera had to fight the toughest guys. This is an aspect of the UFC that frustrates me as a fan.
