Dominick Cruz Injured, May Be Out of UFC 233 Bout

Dominick Cruz may not be able to compete at UFC 233, as the oft-injured fighter is hurt once again. MMAjunkie has confirmed that Cruz, who has not fought since 2016, is currently dealing with an injury but could not confirm if he will be able to fight John Lineker at the event, which takes place on January 26th.

The UFC has yet to confirm the news and, when asked about Cruz’s status, told the outlet they are “figuring it out.” If Cruz is unable to fight, it isn’t yet clear if a replacement will be sought or if the fight would be scratched.
