Dominick Cruz picks Urijah Faber in interim title bout with Renan Barao

Posted by Jacoby Harms UFC bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz will finally have his surgery to repair a torn ACL this coming week. The injury, which knocked Cruz out of a planned bout at UFC 148 with Urijah Faber, will take several months to heal and likely have him out until 2013. Cruz, however, plans on returning sooner than that. “I’m actually going in for surgery this Wednesday,” said Cruz Friday night while appearing on Fuel TV’s post-fight show for the Ultimate Fighter 15 Finale. “The doctors are giving me a timetable. I don’t like to speak the timetable cause I’m…

ProMMAnow.com reporter Joe Gugelman caught up with UFC bantamweight champion and coach on this season’s The Ultimate Fighter Live, Dominick Cruz (19-1), during a special TUF luncheon last week.

Cruz shared his thoughts on the Renan Barao vs. Urijah Faber match-up and how he sees the fight going. Cruz seems to be in favor of Faber winning the fight with Barao so they can meet once again and settle their unfinished business. Without a dog in the fight,…

Dominick Cruz Exhibits His Domination over Urijah Faber on the Ultimate Fighter

Dominick Cruz Exhibits His Domination over Urijah Faber on the Ultimate Fighter

Article By Craig Amos The latest installment of the The Ultimate Fighter has not been long in establishing itself as a microcosm of reality. It is a reality show after all, but the reality I refer to is not the exhibition of real people enacting an unscripted performance. The reality of which I speak is a reflection of the real. The reality of which I speak is this: Dominick Cruz has Urijah Faber’s number. The current contest between rivals began in earnest when Team Faber’s Daron Cruickshank and Team Cruz’s James Vick squared off. The bout was selected by Faber,…

The Ultimate Fighter Live: Episode 3 Recap With Quotes From Fighters & Coaches

Justin lawrence

Written by Spencer Lazara Episode 3 of “The Ultimate Fighter Live” was another step in what may be the best season ever. Much of the episode was the lead up to the fight featuring Justin Lawrence and Christiano Marcello. Round one began rather slowly with neither man overextending. Lawrence sets his range nicely in the first round, doing more damage and landing more of his strikes in a round that was entirely kept standing. In round two, Lawrence began to gain a bit more steam, although still remaining patient and calm. His jab is landing, and his power punches just…

TUF Choices: A Hammer to Remember

tuf-choices

Article by The Ultimate Fighter On Friday’s episode of The Ultimate Fighter Live, Dominick Cruz selected Justin Lawrence to fight but yielded the choice of Lawrence’s opponent to Team Faber. A flummoxed Faber did not take the bait and Urijah’s non-decision led to Cristiano Marcello being selected by Cruz for the most anticipated matchup of the season. In the wake of one of the most shocking uses of “The Hammer” to date, Scott Sawitz of Inside Fights digs deep into the psyches of Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber to discover the planted seedlings of a potentially epic rivalry. The rivalry…

Dominick "The Dominator" Cruz Is Ready For The Ultimate Fighter Live

Article by: FOX Sports The Ultimate Fighter Live coach & UFC Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz answered some final questions before making the trip to Vegas for TUF 15. TUF: What do you think of Urijah Faber as a fighter and as a coach? Cruz: I respect his game as a fighter and even as a coach. I haven’t seen him coach and I haven’t worked with him, but judging by some of the things he has done with the guys that he’s got I think he’s got good coaching skills. But that really doesn’t pertain to me or influence the…

UFC 148′s Dominick Cruz declares, ‘Urijah Faber Doesn’t Know How To Beat Me’

Dominick Cruz

Article by Kevin Haggerty Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz is expected to face number one contender Urijah Faber at UFC 148 in Las Vegas, Nevada, on July 7, 2012, in a rubber match that will pit the coaches from The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 15 up against each other for a third — and likely final — time. The 135-pound bout will hopefully bring some closure to the heated rivalry that dates all the way back to March 24, 2007, when the “California Kid” defeated “The Dominator” at World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) 26 in Las Vegas, Nevada. It…

UFC Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz Worked Hard For The Ultimate Fighter 15 Shot

dominick-cruz

Article by Loretta Hunt, SI.com Of the seven UFC champions, bantamweight titleholder Dominick Cruz has the most to gain from his starring stint as a coach on The Ultimate Fighter 15 this March on FX. It’s something not lost on the 26-year-old Cruz, who knows one of his Christmas presents came early this year when he got the call from UFC president Dana White just hours before the announcement in early December. “Every call I get for each fight is the next big call of my life,” Cruz said. “I’m getting used to getting the biggest call of my life…

Dominick Cruz Open to Another Faber Fight

Cruz Open to Another Faber Fight

Dominick Cruz got revenge when he outpointed Urijah Faber for a unanimous decision in the UFC 132 main event on July 2. Faber had submitted him when they first met in March 2007 at WEC 26. The rematch was an entertaining one, and it begs the question of whether there will be a third fight. “I’m not going to turn down a rubber match,” said Cruz, the UFC bantamweight champion, on the Sherdog Radio Network’s “Beatdown” show. “I fight whoever the UFC thinks is next. … D.J.’s been looking real good — Demetrious Johnson. Brian Bowles won again. I know…

Dominick Cruz Successfully Defends Bantamweight Title Against Urijah Faber

cruz punches faber

The first bantamweight title fight in UFC history did not disappoint, as Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber battled inside the Octagon for 25 minutes and put on a show, with Cruz taking home a unanimous decision and retaining his bantamweight belt. “I’ve got to say, Urijah — man, that dude hits hard,” Cruz said after the fight. “He hits hard, his hands move fast. … Thank you, God.” Both 135-pounders have unorthodox styles, and the clash of those styles was a sight to behold: They both moved around the Octagon like waterbugs, taking strange angles, clashing together and then pulling…
