Action-packed, toe-to-toe, legendary. Those are the words that described the main event from UFC 132.
This is the first event that the UFC has hosted that featured former WEC fighters in the main event, good thing this was a main event because they truly saved the best for last.
Every round was close, Faber dropped Cruz multiple times, but Cruz always recovered and, in most cases, appeared to do enough to win the round.
This fight is not only Fight of the Night, this is the new front runner for fight of the year. Both gave it all that they had, and the fans will surely go home happy after this fight.
This fight truly could’ve went either way. The judges got this one correct. People may dispute this decision, but just because Faber dropped Cruz, Cruz always rebounded.
After the fight, both showed respect to each other and the fans showed their unhappiness with the decision.
Last night many things were proven. The bantamweight division deserves more attention than it has been given since the merger. Also, Dominick Cruz is one of the overall best in the world.
Next for Faber, expect the likes of a Brian Bowles or Demetrious Johnson. This loss will not affect his stock, but he will have to work his way back into the title picture. Also, a fight with Miguel Torres could be legendary.
Next for Cruz appears to be unknown. Demetrious Johnson, Brian Bowles, Joseph Benavidez. Those appear to be the top three men to face him, but it is up to Joe Silva to decide who will be next in line.
