Wrestling for MMA: Dominick Cruz (UFC Career) Wrestling for MMA: Dominick Cruz (WEC Career) The skills of Cruz himself will hardly be touched, but if you’re interested, I have broken down his wrestling-focused game in two separate articles.

For a more in-depth explanation of that system, you can check out my section of our collective rankings page, or this document containing my own list, which includes the individual ratings of each quality win for dozens of candidates.

So, I don’t mind working like that, and I know for a matter of fact they like me. I don’t train when I have a fight, I train all year round, so I get it, sometimes the UFC pick a guy over others, but we’re all self-contractors, this is not like, they don’t work for us, we don’t work for them, they just pick who’s the best to give us the best show. “I wake up every day, I feel motivated, I have a lot of drive, I go to the gym. “That’s the good thing about having a good mindset and just really not giving a f- about the things you cannot control, you know?” he said.

“Six days ago, my coach sent me a picture, just a screenshot, of Munhoz kicking him in the body and his head was dipping,” Vera said. I’m all in.”Īs for the finishing blow, it’s not something specific that Vera trained, but he and his team knew about Cruz ducking his head into kicks, and his coach asked him between rounds to exploit that habit. But you know, next week comes out and I gotta go back to the gym and keep working because those performances don’t just happen like that if you’re going halfway. Highlights!
