can Faber beat Cruz?

[williams1885]

Again I mean. I know anything can happen in MMA but all things considered what chance do u give him?

 

[Da Speeit]

sure.
I'm like 99.9 sure he wont and I'm right about fights about 60% of the time so we'll see

 

[williams1885]

I just don't see Faber winning this fight. maybe a round but not the fight.

Now I see

 

[MEAN357]

all of their fights have been pretty close iirc. It's possible, idk if I'd bet on Faber ina title fight given his track record but he's definitely a live dog. I see it as another close fight, SD for Cruz tho.

 

[prikoke]

Ted Cruz maybe.

 

[The real JG]

TJ Dillashaw's grandfather stands no chance.

 

[smallbets]

He looked average against whatshisface in his last fight and Cruz danced around TJ.

So unlikely

 

[HIGH VALUE]

Urijah's a beast he has a chance to finish anyone but I hope not first Conor then Cruz. Would be too much

 

[Meathead Jock]

He shouldn't, but Cruz's knee could always give out on him midfight.

 

[killerkalibur]

Any fighter has a chance but he is not the same beast from the WEC days. The good thing for him is that he has always given Cruz problems but he is much older and not as explosive.

 

[williams1885]

Faber winning would definitely make things interesting

 

[campbecc]

Their last fight was pretty close and neither is the fighter they once were. So who knows.

 

[Drake]

Not really. Urijah is has declined significantly while Dom continues to improve & show his greatness.

Domin8r RD2 (T)KO or anaconda choke

Not even comparable.

He shouldn't, but Cruz's knee could always give out on him midfight.

He's knees are stronger than ever now... If they were going to give out they would have in his last fight.

It could happen, it isn't like Cruz dominated Faber in the more recent fight. I hope it happens is what I'm really trying to say.

 

[CashMoney1991]

I wouldn't give faber much of a chance I honestly think he's slowed down just look at his last fight and it's strange how this trilogy goes: first fight: Cruz was green faber was close to his prime second fight: both were in their primes this one: fabers past his prime Cruz is in his prime

 

[Drake]

Their last fight was pretty close and neither is the fighter they once were. So who knows.

If be that you mean Dom is better & Urijah is worse, then yes.

 

[campbecc]

If be that you mean Dom is better & Urijah is worse, then yes.

Dom is better after serious knee injuries? Is that seriously what you are trying to say?

I'm aware of the decline, I get what you're saying, but it is comparable. It happened when they fought previously, although the result will be nearly impossible to repeat, especially this many years later. How many choke submissions does Faber have since that fight? If Cruz slips up, and gives Faber the chance he will capitalize. It is the one thing that has kept him at the top of the division this long. It isn't likely, but it totally could happen.
