Dominick Cruz, ex-UFC champ, retires from MMA after latest injury: 'Sometimes the body just doesn't cooperate'
Dominick Cruz is calling it a career. The former UFC men's bantamweight champion announced his retirement from MMA competition in a social-media post on Thursday. According to Cruz, the same injuries that had forced him out of what was to be his final professional fight at a UFC Fight Night event in Seattle later this month had also pushed him to hang up the gloves for good.
