The San Diego-born is a former World Extreme Cagefighting champion. Consequently, when the promotion turned into UFC, the American was given the position of the new and inaugural UFC Bantamweight Champion. After his debut in UFC, Cruz proved his worth by defending the bantamweight Championship against flyweight legend Demetrious Johnson.

Later, Cruz had to vacate his title due to recurring injuries. In his comeback, ” The Dominator” defeated TJ Dillashaw and won the Bantamweight Championship for the second time. Throughout his impressive journey, his family and friends were supporting him from behind the scenes.
