Dominick Cruz injures ACL again
Dominick Cruz: “It is with great sadness to report I have experienced another ACL injury. This time it’s in the right knee, opposite side of my first and second ACL injuries.”
A year that saw a number of major fights canceled due to injury is closing with yet another one, this one even more painful that usual.
Former UFC bantamweight champion returned in remarkable form in Sept, taking out Takeya Mizugaki in 61 seconds. He had been out for nearly three full years after a series of knee injuries. Now it happened again.
Cruz reported the sad, sad news, via Facebook.
It is with great sadness to report I have experienced another ACL injury. This time it’s in the right knee, opposite side of my first and second ACL injuries. Leading up to my last fight in September and after, I have practiced a very careful and methodical training and diet regime to keep my body healthy. Unfortunately, this is beyond my understanding and control. I don’t have a timetable for my return but trust and know I will pour my heart and soul into returning to the Octagon. I want to thank the UFC, my fans and my sponsors ahead of time for your support and prayers. I appreciate you more than you could understand. I don’t have any other facts to share right now. I, along with my camp, respectfully request privacy at this difficult time. Thank You.
