Faber: Old Man Cruz Could Learn How To Finish Fights From Yuri
“I’ve got mixed feelings. It’s huge to be on the new channel for the first fight, but the opponent is someone nobody really knows about. I don’t choose my fights. If someone asks me to fight in the Octagon, I have a hard time turning down fights. “Who am I to say he doesn’t deserve it? He’s 27-4 and he’s got 24 finishes, 12 TKOs and 12 submissions. The guy has earned what he’s got… I would love for that to happen,” said Faber about another title fight. “Do we have a champ who’s sturdy enough to stand up and fight? Right now we don’t. We’ve got Renan Barao and old man Dominick Cruz, who could take a lesson from Yuri on getting some finishes in his career. We’ve got to get these guys healed up and to step in so I can beat them for a belt.”
During a recent stint on UFC Tonight, ‘The California Kid’ discussed his upcoming fight scheduled for UFC on FS 1 and took the time on the air to take a quick dig at longtime rival, Dominik Cruz.
