Dominick Cruz unfortunately has been the victim of non-stop injuries and has horrific luck on that end of the mixed martial arts game. But the former UFC bantamweight champion has such a strong mindset that it is likely that he will not relent on his dream of competing in MMA and come back stronger than ever. One thing about Cruz is that he has an intense desire to outwork others and do the things that others won't do and go to insane lengths to be the best. In the past his teammate Phil Davis noted that if you do just half the things that Cruz does in training you could become a champion. A very strong endorsement from Davis, who has been around the wrestling and MMA game for quite some time now and has achieve ample success in his career.
For Cruz his hard work in training makes him fearless in the cage and allows him to push an extraordinary pace in competition. That intense conditioning is what quells fear and allows courage to blossom forth.
