Dominick Cruz
Dominick “The Dominator” Cruz is the San Diego bantamweight whose stance-switching footwork made him nearly impossible to hit. He won the last WEC bantamweight title and became the first UFC bantamweight champion in 2010, beating Urijah Faber and Demetrious Johnson in defences.
Knee and groin injuries kept him out for almost three years, but he came back to beat TJ Dillashaw in 2016 to win the title again. He lost it to Cody Garbrandt, became a UFC commentator, and was named to the UFC Hall of Fame in 2026. CagePotato covered his Faber rivalry and his long injury layoff.
