Dominick Cruz tog under helgen tillbaka sitt bantamviktsbälte, då han besegrade T.J. Dillashaw via ett delat domslut under ”UFC: Fight Night 81”. Urijah Faber var snabb med att meddela att han vill möta Cruz för tredje gången i karriären, och det är en match som Dominick inte skulle tacka nej till.
Detta hade Cruz att säga, via ”The MMA Hour”:
I don’t really care. The fans want to see Faber because we were supposed to have that third outing and he’s the only guy who beat me back in 2007. I don’t have any problem facing Faber, I don’t have any problem facing any of these guys, I just want to be compensated for it.
I want to make the best out of it. I think at this point in my career, with the things that I’ve been able to be blessed to do and keep my body for, it’s not the easiest for me to stay in there and stay busy. I just want to make the best of it you know? I want to make the best of it with the best fights I can. Quality over quantity if need be.
Faber har vunnit tre av sina fyra senaste matcher, och sist besegrade han Frankie Saenz via ett enhälligt domslut under UFC 194.
