Dominick Cruz’s fight with John Lineker at the (now cancelled) UFC 233 PPV event was primed to be a high profile return to contender-ship for the former two-time bantamweight champion. Cruz had been once again plagued by injuries, since losing his title to Cody Garbrandt at UFC 207 in 2016. If he could come back from another long layoff, still in top form, he could be right back in the title hunt.
Unfortunately, a career plagued by bad luck almost as much as it has been by success, appears to have hit yet another road block. Cruz is injured again.
