Looks like cruz isnt ready for that summer time match with barao. I personally think Barao takes this fight pretty easily.

Agreed

Poor Cruz man, what a devastating injury this has turned out to be. Looks like it will be 2years between fights for him, based on the timing of the above fight

I know all about it dude. Blew my ACL out almost 3 years ago and im still not cleared by my surgen to play competitive sports. He basically said i would never be able to again i just refuse to accept that.

Snore on Wineland.

ZUFFA should've just sprung for Bibano when they had the chance and given him an interim title shot.

I hear you man, last kickboxing bout I was in, I wrecked my LCL. That was winter 2011, and I'm still going to physio twice a month, and it wasn't even a clean tear. The knees are a fucking game changer man, makes me feel old as shit haha

I used to run everyday.

Now I can't even run for 1 minute without my knee slipping. :dancingsmile:

haha no sir, I have been confined to a spin bike :dry:

Yeah no doubt, I am not a huge Cruiz fan but you got to feel for him. Taken out of his game just as he was peaking... And then after a couple years off possibly, you got to wonder how rusty his game will be.

I almost think Cruiz should give up the belt so he can do a warm up fight before going for a title shot on his return.

Y'all sound like a couple old men. Just kiddin', I have been blessed with good knees. A good buddy of mine can barely walk down a hill or steep slope while playing disc golf without almost blowing out his knees.

I tore my ACL during my last highschool soccer season. Complete tear but somehow 3 different MRI's missed the tear? Good old Canadian health care right there. Waited a year to get the surgery because of the MRI's not finding the tear and when i finally got the surgery i was on crutches for 6 weeks. Then did 6 months of physio 3 times a week until my benefits ran dry. Once the new year started again i went back to physio for 2 months 3 times a week again and its still not 100%. They want me to go out and buy some 1500 dollar brace which i refuse to do. Im forced to only play golf now, which really isnt a bad thing because i have golfed my entire life growing up and i actually appreciate going out on the course on summer day and forgetting about everything else going on in my life lol.

im 21 years old, but most days my knee feels like its 41 years old.

Dominick Cruz remaining positive but admits recent title announcement 'sucks for me' - MMA Fighting
