McDonald Knows how to Defeat Dominick Cruz

The Ultimate Fighting Championship or the UFC’s young prospect in the Bantamweight class Michael McDonald believes that he has managed to work out the weaknesses of the reigning UFC Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz and according to him, he is ready to prove his point by beating him. The 21 year old has been mooted as one of the brightest prospects in Mixed Martial Arts and the critics’ confidence in him was echoed when he knocked out the former World Extreme Cage Fighting or WEC Champion Miguel Torres. This knockout victory took him to the top five of the UFC Bantamweight division and another couple of wins will bring him close to getting a championship bout against Cruz.

It is likely that McDonald will face one more opponent before getting a match with Cruz, perhaps against the British fighter Brad Pickett. According to McDonald, the style that Dominick Cruz employs during his matches may be unorthodox but he says that the style has many technical faults and after watching several videos of him in action, he has chalked out in his head how he could be defeated easily.

According to McDonald, Cruz doesn’t employ much basic skills apart from his MMA wrestling background, which is quite amazing, considering the fact that he is one of the best MMA fighters in the industry. What he does that is so effective is that he confuses his opponent and almost all his fights are won that way. McDonald further added that Cruz doesn’t have hand ups, his footwork is extremely flawed and his attacks are not thrown in the correct manner at all.

But McDonald also believes that there is a way to beat Dominick Cruz and he has worked hard to work out his style and knows that he can beat him straight up, if given the opportunity.
