UFC 132 main event with come armed with hatred and aggression
There are several things that make a UFC main event compelling. The first is two top notch fighters evenly matched. For Dominick Faber and Urijah Faber that is taken care of. One added component that makes their fight first rate is a little bit of hatred between these two fighters.
In the world of handshakes and hugs, it’s a change of pace to have two fighters that don’t seem to like one another. For proof look no further than a story published on Heavy.com. There Cruz had some unfavorable words for Faber.

Cruz said:
It’s one thing when a guy wins and another thing when a guy loses. I’ve been a good sport on both ends of it, so we’ll see how he reacts when he loses. I’ll be cool regardless.
I have a hard time being enemies with people. Dominick has made it easy; he’s got an interesting combo of throwing himself pity parties and feeling sorry for himself, but also giving himself a lot of credit for little things. What’s going to happen at the end of this (comes down to) can he handle another loss and can he be cool?
That “another loss” that Cruz is referring too goes back to the last time that Faber fought Cruz and lost. The favorite has to be Cruz in this fight as well. I tend to believe that history speaks for itself.
