“So what do managers really do? They communicate. In my experience, managers are best at showing that they seem to have “ends” everywhere. But what do these “ends” get you in the UFC? In this organization, decisions are made for you,” continued the former champion.

In any other organization, managers have their hands full, but in the UFC, as Cruz makes it clear, managers are completely redundant. Especially for veterans like him, who have been fighting in the organization for years and know the management personally.

“I myself agreed on the details of the new contract when there are two fights left before the end of the existing contract. The UFC has always been ready to work with me. I also do not communicate like a cretin. They listen to you if you do not start the conversation with “I deserve this and this”. Nobody deserves anything. In this sport, you earn everything,” said the former king of the 61.2kg division.

Cruz has 24 wins and three losses in his professional career. Already on August 13, he will meet with Marlon Vera. In fights where the bet is not the championship belt, Cruz has a perfect balance – 17 victories in the same fights.
