Former two-time undisputed bantamweight champion, Dominick Cruz has tonight confirmed his retirement from mixed martial arts immediate effect, after an injury setback ruled him from one final outing in the sport against Rob Font at UFC Seattle this week.
Cruz, a former undisputed WEC (World Extreme Cagefighting) bantamweight champion, also held twice during his tenure with the UFC — with four years spanning between both title runs.
And slated to co-headline UFC Seattle later this month, reports emerged overnight detailing how veteran fan-favorite, Cruz was forced from a clash with Font — which he earmarked as his retirement clash, due to his latest injury setback.
