Dominick Cruz’s coach Eric Del Fierro has spoken openly about the mindset of his student that allowed him to thrive in mixed martial arts.
As we know, Dominick Cruz is an absolute legend in the sport of MMA. He has accomplished some great things over the years, most notably being the UFC bantamweight champion on multiple occasions. Now, however, he has retired, largely due to a build-up of injuries over the years. After his retirement, fans and pundits alike have been able to sit back and fondly remember some of his best achievements.

Perhaps one of the most notable was his ability to bounce back from adversity. Time and time again, Cruz was forced to deal with injuries. He took long periods of time off from the Octagon in order to recover and yet, whenever he did return, he always managed to put on a show. That’s a testament to the kind of warrior that he is.
In a recent interview, Cruz’s coach Del Fierro praised Dominick for his mentality.
