VIDEO | With Cruz Out Urijah Faber Wants Interim Title Shot
By Jamie McAllister
Urijah Faber comments on Cruz injury.
“I’m sure everyone has heard the terrible news that Dominick Cruz tore his ACL. There’s a lot of rumors rolling around about the whole situation, possibly that Ronda Rousey is the one who made it happen. It sucks for everybody, especially myself and Dominick. I wish him a speedy recovery — you don’t wish that on anybody. I know he wanted to scrap. Now, I’m just waiting to hear what happens. I’m thinking an interim title fight — [Dominick] has been out almost 1.5 years now — once this surgery goes through it’s going to be another nine months. I’m hoping for a top contender: Renan Barao, in my opinion is next up with Michael McDonald after that and Ivan Menjivar after that. I’m just waiting to see — I know as much as you guys do, but I’m ready to scrap on July 7. And, as far as I’m concerned, that’s when it’s going down.”

Yeah rousey was probably ****in faber and cruz and faber must have been better and convinced her to **** up cruz’s acl cause faber is scared…..yeah thats whats up.
cruz was all stick and move stick and move while uriah was just tryin for that one powerful overhand dick…..
Exactly! Uriajh is a finisher Cruz isn’t.
U.F. is a classy guy. get Better D rod because you are the true champ for the moment.
i was thinking the exact same thing; interim title….
He’s actually asking for Renan Barao? Be careful what you wish for Faber….
why not?
Because Faber will get hurt.
Get Rid of Fitch (forever) is gonna owe me some Jeffery Dollars!
LOL, i saw that post about toys r us dollars on another article earlier. Funny shit.
You were in a title fight…now the other guy has to pull out, and you feel the need to ASK for an interim title fight. Dude you’re the Number 1 contender. OF COURSE you get an interim title fight. What are you on dude?
He didn’t really ask. He just said that is what he thinks will happen.
Renan is a beast….he will beat Faber and Cruz. Hopefully Cruz gets better, terrible injury
Renan and Ronny are both from Kimura NU here in Natal. Renan would finish Faber…not easy but great JJ and MT.
I think Frankie Edgar should cut down and fight Urijah for the interim title.
I would watch THAT fight.
Looks like Rousey will have to fight Faber then!
Grow a ****in beard Faber. You look like shit is going to ooze out of your bum chin.
I’m guessing Cruz hurt himself practicing some cage dancing moves with Frankie Edgar.
LOL he does have the best moves in MMA. Sometimes I forget that Bruce Lee was a Cha Cha champ.
