Former Ultimate Fighting Championship bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz went on a secret trip to various U.S. military bases around the world, TMZ Sports reports.

Cruz talked about his trip, which was sponsored by the USO, on TMZ Sports, and explained the reality of trading blows with a four-star general. Watch it here:
