Metal Mulisha’s WEC Bantamweight Champion and First-ever UFC Bantamweight title holder Dominick Cruz suffered an injury to his left hand during training for his first title defense against Joseph Benavidez last August.

He chose to fight through the injury instead of having surgery right away because he didn’t want to postpone the fight. Dominick pushed threw the pain but as tough and as bad ass as Cruz is, he had to get fixed up. Dominick head to the hospital and wanted to give all the fans a update on his condition and posted the some picture on his Twitter 15 hours after surgery.

Check out some of the photos Dominick hook us up with and we wish Cruz a speedy recovery to get back into the ring and continue the Dominick Cruz Domination!

Making his Supercross debut for Metal Mulisha at Anaheim A1, Josh Grant put in a strong performance to finish fifth in his heat race and go on to record a solid ninth-place result in the main. Josh has not raced Supercross since 2009 due to a unfortunate injury, but has proved he is better and stole the Gold Medal at the 2010 X Games 16 in Super X. The season is fresh, yet Josh is super pumped on his new Honda, Metal Mulisha/MSR Gear, and ready to take on this whole season with some solid finishes!

“My goal for the first race of the season was to finish in the top 10 and I achieved that tonight,” said Grant. “I’m really happy to get the first race of the season out of the way and I now know where I need to be in terms of fitness and race pace.”

Josh is giving away his Autographed Metal Mulisha/MSR/Team Honda Professional Jersey that he wore that night! Sign up and have the chance to win this kick ass JG Metal Mulisha one of a kind item! Click here to enter.

Alright, so we have been getting a lot of questions and rumors about “ is Twitch really leaving the Metal Mulisha?” So, we definitely owe you as much of a response as we can. We can’t thank Twitch enough for his years of dedication to Metal Mulisha and his role in getting M/M to where it is today. Everyone wishes him the best of luck in the future with whatever his plans and goals are outside of being involved with the Metal Mulisha may be. To us, Twitch will always be part of the M/M family and we support him in his decision to explore those opportunities. Twitch will definitely be missed as a member on the team, and the majority of the team will continue to have a close relationship with Jeremy.

We know this doesn’t really clear everything up, but we want to keep it positive even though it’s a tough situation, rather than get some soap opera junk started. This isn’t “reality TV” here, it’s reality, and sometimes reality sucks. Below is the official statement you’ll probably see on other web sites pretty soon, but we wanted you guys to hear something from us here on metalmulisha.com first. Thanks everyone of you for your continued support! The Mulisha will keep kicking ass in 2011 and beyond–we guarantee it!

We thank Twitch for his years of dedication to Metal Mulisha and wish him the best of luck in the future. While his current plans extend beyond being part of our team, we support him in the decision he has made to explore those opportunities, and hope it will not change the close relationships he has with others in the Mulisha family.
