Urijah Faber afraid of Dominick Cruz?
UFC fighter Dominick Cruz is no stranger to trash talk. When asked recently about his next challenger Urijah Faber, Cruz had nothing positive to say. “I think Urijah Faber’s scared of me. He knows what I can do to him now and that scares him.” Faber has sounded off on the comments with laughter, taking it as a joke. Both men have never been able to get along since they have been pitted against each other twice in the past and are looking forward to a third showdown. With both men holding a single victory over the other, this bout will end the trilogy with only one man getting the better of the other. Should Faber lose, he may need to drop another weight class. The issue with Urijah Faber UFC at bantamweight is that his opponent (the champ) has a 2 inch reach over him that makes it very hard for the shorter Faber to get in and work his foot work.
Faber already dropping two weight classes from his days in lightweight does not want to make the drop but if that is his only way to a title he may consider it. Only issue at the weight 125 lb division is it will be very thinned in competition and will feature one of his good friends and training partners Joseph Benavidez whom is currently fighting in a four man tournament for the belt. Should Faber drop down, it is likely he would have to fight his friend and student whom he brough it.
