    I'd also take Cruz, more specifically Cruz by decision, hope we can get a good line on it.

    Cruz's stand-up is on another level to Faber's, Im not sure Faber offers much more if not any more of a threat than Benavidez or Jorgensen IMO. He has beat him before but Cruz has evolved ten-fold since than. Cruz by decision for me!

    and winner of Cruz/Faber will probably face Torres, so some big up coming fights in the UFC Bantamweight division

    This would make a good season of TUF, especially if they featured featherweights or bantamweight fighters.

    I agree, Cruz would overwhelm Faber with his speed.

    just watched the cruz fight again and faber can easily match cruzs awkward ass striking. i don't think the fight gets to the ground and faber wins a decision that could have gone either way in the end because of his popularity

    Got to wait for a line, but I think Cruz will be the play for me.

    No, Faber. The dude is on his comeback and he steps it up on big fights. Not to say he'll destroy Cruz, but Faber is going to win.

    Wouldnt be so sure about that, Cruz has showed in 5 round fights that he can keep the same pace in 5th round as he did in the 1st.

    I'll take the dog in this fight all day long. Cruz has the speed advantage, but lacks KO power. Benavidez gave Cruz some problems at 135 and I think Uriah could do the same, but he's bigger.
