SAN JOSE, Calif. – Urijah Faber and Dominick Cruz will settle their score in the very near future.
UFC president Dana White on Saturday night confirmed that Faber’s UFC
139 win over Brian Bowles was indeed enough to earn “The California Kid”
a quick rematch with UFC bantamweight champion Cruz.
Cruz, of course, defeated Faber in the main event of July’s UFC 132
event. However, Faber remains the only man to have ever beaten Cruz
after downing the then-featherweight in a March 2007 contest under the
WEC banner.
