CRUZ PUTS FABER TO SHAME

. No comments.

Kevin Iole, an expert of American Mixed Martial Arts stated that Dominick Cruz made a tactical decision that was not only brilliant in terms of conceptualization but it also stunned Urijah Faber on the episode of The Ultimate Fighter. The Ultimate Fighter is between the UFC Bantamweight Champion Cruz and his long time arch rival since his days in the World Extreme Cage Fighting Urijah Faber and their face off is now leveled at one apiece. Faber made Cruz submit to him in a title match for the WEC Featherweight Championship, which Cruz returned at UFC 132 in a UFC Bantamweight Championship match at UFC 132.

The two are set to lock horns again in the third part of their trilogy in July but according to Iola; Dominick Cruz has beaten Faber in the mind games already on The Ultimate Fighter. The two rivals are serving on the show in their capacities as coaches and Cruz took such a brilliant tactical decision in the course of the last episode of the show that it made the fighters at Team Faber look extremely bad and almost humiliated them.

During the course of the events of the show, when Team Cruz won a fight, he got the right to select a fighter from both the teams who would face off against each other live on the FX but instead of picking a fighter from Team Faber, he asked Faber to pick and when he asked his team who was ready, not one hand went up, making it extremely humiliating and embarrassing for the entire team.

Dominick Cruz is extremely happy with the performance of his team so far and he is even hoping that the live fight at FX puts Team Faber for some more shame and help in the mind games ahead of July.
