"He sits through the whole press conference, doesn’t say anything. I said to him, You’re not gonna talk about your broken hand? He said, "What’s the point? I’m going to get it done and I’ll be back." I respect that."
According to Dana, Cruz will be undergoing surgery on the injured hand next week, which will probably delay his return to the cage. It was expected that Cruz would defend his title next against the winner of the Brian Bowles vs. Urijah Faber bout at UFC 139, but that is all up in the air now. Regardless of the injury, White is a fan of Cruz:
"I thought he looked great tonight. He looked like a well rounded fighter, especially when you know he fought the entire fight with a broken hand."
