Former UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz has not returned to action since losing the title to former champion Cody Garbrandt.
That was supposed to change on December 30, as he was set to face Jimmie Rivera at UFC 219 but it looks like that’s not happening anymore.
According to reports the former champion is injured and will no longer be able to fight Rivera.
Ariel Helwani has more on the story:
“Dominick Cruz is out of the UFC 219 fight vs. Jimmie Rivera, sources say. Broken arm. TBD at this time what they’ll do with Rivera.”
