GLENDALE, Ariz. - Now that he's the UFC bantamweight champion, Dominick Cruz seems to already be settling into Company Man status - but he hopes a lingering hand injury can get fixed sooner rather than later. After dominating Scott Jorgensen for a five-round unanimous decision on Thursday at the finale WEC event, WEC 53 at Jobing.com Arena outside Phoenix, Cruz (17-1, 7-1 WEC) said he'll know next week whether or not surgery on his hand will happen right away, putting him out for several months, or if it will be delayed.
"I work for the UFC now, and I pretty much do what I'm told," Cruz said at Thursday's post-fight press conference. "But at the same time, I've been going into these last two fights with a hand injury that needs to be addressed so that I can continue to fight at the level that I'm fighting - because it's something that's just going to get worse if I don't get it taken care of."
