I looked around a little to see if this had been posted; didn't see anything so here it is.
This dude has a long way to go IMO. I know he's had twice the lay off but GSP's leg didn't look horribly imbalanced to his other after his surgery/rehab. It looks like Cruz's legs don't even belong to the same body.
I realize the brace is putting compression on the leg but it still looks horribly under developed.
Not really a Cruz fan, but don't wish injury on anyone. Hopefully he can come back from this... so Barao can whoop dat ass.
The most important thing is to him to heal properly. That being said, that leg will take a good while to grow back to minimum strenght/toughness. The difference is ridiculous.
I think cruz is finis as a fighter it's hard enough to come back from an acl injury yet alone two of them. With his style I don't think he'll be the same fighter again.
I'd hate to see a young career killed off by rushing back, he needs to relinquish the belt so the division can move on and evolve. He can then take the safer pace of rehab and get his belt back when he's ready.
Yes and Barao can relinquish the interim title since he is injured and can't defend it. Then they can make Menjivar/Kid for the no one gives a shit championship.
