This is a rematch I've been waiting to see for a long, long time. Dominick Cruz vs Urijah Faber . They last fought back in 2007, on WEC 26 in Las Vegas. Faber stopped cruz in 1:38 in the first round with a guillotine . To this day this is Cruz's only loss, now with a record of 17-1-0  with Faber holding a record of 25-4-0 . After Cruz fought Faber he dropped to the 135lb division and has beat joesph Benavidez twice, Brian Bowles and Scott Jorgensen. Cruz is the very first UFCBantamweight title holder, defeating Scott Jorgenson in the merger. After Faber lost to Mike Brownan Jose Aldo he also moved down to the Bantamweight division. Both fighters have grown since they last fought...but I give Cruz the edge on this one...I maybe a little biased because I've trained with him, but I really try not to be. I think Cruz has the speed advantage and Urijah may have a bit of a strength advantage... But cruz has great accuracy and technique. I think this fight
will go the distance...but definately in the favor of Cruz
