Dominick Cruz Introduces Himself To Freddie Roach

Dominick Cruz hosted a charity event in Hollywood earlier this week to honor legendary boxing coach Freddie Roach, and when he spotted him on the red carpet he moved in to introduce himself.

It’s not clear whether Roach knew who the UFC bantamweight champion was at first, but the two stars quickly fell into an easy conversation.

While he isn’t an MMA fan, Roach has helped coach a few UFC stars like Georges St. Pierre and Anderson Silva, and if he had a chance to watch Cruz you can’t help but think he might have an appreciation for the champion’s slick striking.

Ross launched MMA Insight (previously FightOfTheNight.com) in 2009 as a way to channel his passion for the sport of mixed martial arts. He's since penned countless news stories and live fight reports along with dozens of feature articles as the lead writer for the site, reaching millions of fans in the process.
