Dominick Cruz went on UFC Tonight via Skype to discuss how he injured his knee one more time. The setback occurred during a routine boxing drill, apparently, and was completely unexpected:
“I was going in with the guy I was training with many times, all the time and we were moving, we were doing 50 percent movement drills with each other where basically working with each other shadow boxing … And on the mat that I was on, with my brace, I don’t know man, I was moving and I went to hit a pivot, and the tissue just popped, I had some thoughts like, no way [this happened] just moving, because I’ve done so much more than that in [physical therapy] with my PT guy. I was shocked that it happened and it just popped.”
