Henry Cejudo says he would've been livid if Dominick Cruz pulled out of their fight next weekend. Fortunately for Cejudo, the former two-division champion wasn't scheduled to face Cruz at UFC Seattle and will instead meet Song Yadong in the main event.

Cruz, arguably the greatest bantamweight in UFC history, was set to return to the cage for the first time since a knockout loss to Marlon Vera in Aug. 2022. Before the loss to Vera, Cruz won back-to-back fights in 2021 over Pedro Munhoz and Casey Kenney.

Now that the former UFC champ has retired, should we remember Dominick Cruz as one of the UFC's greatest what-ifs, or an epically stubborn warrior who refused to stay down?

UFC legend Dominick Cruz knew it was time to call it quits when it became impossible to deal with a persistent shoulder injury.
