Dominick Cruz destro
yed Scott Jorgensen at WEC 53, winning an easy unanimous decision to defend his World Extreme Cagefighting bantamweight title and enter the UFC as its first bantamweight champion.
“I had a chip on my shoulder because a lot of people didn’t believe in me,” Cruz said. “Now, I think people believe.”
Cruz, who improved to 17-1, is likely to face Urijah Faber in the first UFC bantamweight title fight. Faber is the only man ever to defeat Cruz, and Cruz said he wants a shot at revenge.
“I’m ready to fight Urijah,” Cruz said. “Let’s do it.”
