Dominick “The Dominator” Cruz is an excellent Mixed Martial Artist from the West Coast. He can be described with one word, “Machine”. His unlimited cardio combined with his punching power and unorthodox movement can only come from a well designed machine. Cruz has excellent footwork and can strike from all angles. His head and body movement make him a target almost impossible to hit. Although he is known for his great takedown defense and wrestling ability, The Dominator only has one victory via submission. A Blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Lloyd Irvin, Cruz trains with Team Alliance MMA and Lloyd Irvin MMA with fighters of the caliber of Brando Vera and Phil Davis among others.
