Although you can cut the tension between Dominick Cruz and TJ Dillashaw with a knife heading into their showdown at this Sunday’s UFC Fight Night 81 event, Cruz proved he still has his sense of humor as the fight draws closer, as he pulled a fast one on the media and fans in attendance at the official open workouts on Friday.
Cruz, the former UFC Bantamweight Champion who never lost his title in the Octagon but was eventually stripped after multiple injuries and circumstances left him on the sidelines for longer than UFC could afford, scared everyone at the open workouts in Boston this weekend by showing up on crutches.
“The Dominator” managed to pull a fast one on everyone in attendance, as most would believe it at this point if Cruz somehow suffered another knee injury, as he has already dealt with more than most athletes ever do, and in a way where the timing is absolutely horrible.
A healthy Cruz, who proved he’s in good spirits with the practical joke, appears ready to enter the cage with Dillashaw and win back the title he never lost on Sunday evening. You can check out a video of Cruz fooling fans and media at the open workouts below.
