Thoughts on this fight? The 2nd fight was pretty close and could have gone to Faber. How do you think it plays out this time?
Cruz handily.
Faber can do it but I have Dom out pointing him again
Urith Faber Imo, I don't think Faber can get in on him, Cruz knows uriths only chance is a choke. He ain't knocking out cruz.
Fight is a point war
Cruz wins. Cruz has only gotten better and Faber is barely gettin by top 15 fighters. His last big win was McDonald and that was quite awhile ago. I say this as a Faber fan...
I think Urijah is a touch slower than when they last fought but Cruz, despite all his injuries, still looks at least as sharp.
I can see Cruz getting a TKO or sub in round 3 or 4
Cruz. The 2nd fight, you can tell Dominick was maybe having jitters as he was breathing heavy almost right out of the gate. Grudge match, 1st UFC fight plus main event, et al.
He shook the rust off with TJ, so I think Urijah will face the best version of Cruz ever.
Faber's got this. He choked him out the first fight and should have gotten the UD the 2nd time out. He has more ways to win.
Yea kind of hope Faber pulls it off. He's got the skills. Hung in there with frankie if I'm not mistaken. You could say he's better than Mendes too
Cruz will have a easy night. But if faber won i would be happy for him. Its hard with tj faber and cruz cause i like all of them for diffetent reasons and im happy to see cruz back with his belt.

I personally thought Saenz won against him, but I also think Saenz is criminally underrated and will fight for the title in 2017.

Faber drops him and subs him in the 2nd
Faber by vice-like front headlock series.
The fans
Cruz without breaking too much of a sweat.
Seriously wanting Faber to win, it's his last shot at gold
Fabers gonna get it this time.
I think Fabers best chance is to work Cruz in the clinch where he can dirty box and threaten takedowns.
He's not as explosive as he once was, so a wrestling/takedown based gameplan wouldn't be as effective.
I want faber to win but cruz is far too hard to pick against
Faber dropped him THREE times in the second fight, he should have gotten the nod. It's hard to tell if he is slipping a bit (has money now, other businesses, gym drama, etc) though now or not.
