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.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Urijah Faber believes MMA fans and media make too much of too little.  

You don’t say?

Questions persist about why good opportunities always seem to follow him. The media is quick to say it’s because Faber is “marketable,” meaning he’s more popular and puts more butts in seats than other fighters. Hence, he gets more of what he wants.
