It’s official now.

Dominick Cruz has another lengthy injury recovery ahead of him.

The former two-time UFC bantamweight champion, who last week pulled out of next month's scheduled bout with John Lineker, revealed Monday on Ariel Helwani's MMA Show that he tore two ligaments in his right shoulder during sparring and will undergo surgery that he expects to keep him out of the Octagon for approximately a year.

"It's basically an ACL of the shoulder," he said.

Ufc is stupid for accommodating him too. Fucking over all their other fighters on the card for him.

Such a shitty organization to fight for unless you are one of the 3-5 dudes Dana slurps on

Wonder if Dana will pay to relocate all the fighter, their camps, friends and family.....snowballs chance in hell

Jones bitch ass has an "apology" vid up on his instagram story. This dude is such a fake piece of shit.
 

Since this PPV is going to sell -- arguably even better due to the publicity, the only thing redeemable is if the stadium completely turns on the deadbeat (he inexplicably still has tons of fans)....and then him getting KTFO.

I get this may be residual from a previous occurrence, but moving the whole card for 1 dude and fucking over the other 25 fighters, their families, the fans (other than the ones in LA) is complete bullshit move by UFC ($$$ i get it).  

Secondary USADA is number one bullshit if this is true that Frank Mir posted:

 

In the spring of 2016, when USADA representatives sat in my Las Vegas kitchen and told me that the turinabol metabolite that they said I tested positive for could only have been ingested within a window of the past several months, I vehemently proclaimed my innocence. Having never failed any drug test throughout my career, I asked if we could go back further in the past to test any supplements that I could’ve taken, but they claimed that was both impossible and unnecessary. They were firm on their assertion that there was only a recent period of several months that would warrant any consideration. Now, little more than two years later, Jon Jones has tested positive for the same trace of the same banned substance, and USADA is taking the position that this same low level is in fact not a new ingestion, but something that could be the result of a residual “pulsing” effect that could potentially stay in his system “forever”. Further, they are now claiming that this phenomenon is something that they are seeing in other cases as well.

This latest shift in USADA’s position would seem to suggest one of two possibilities…Either they are a) offering special dispensation to Jon Jones or b) they are second guessing and subsequently “revising” the presentation of their own science. Either scenario leaves myself and a number of other fighters whose careers have been similarly damaged by past testing claims to wonder what this says about USADA’s consistency and their tests’ reliability. Sadly, my accusation came at a time when the UFC’s partnership with USADA had not yet been subjected to the kind of doubt that now seems to further cloud it with each new instance of convoluted circumstances.
