UFC 132 – Urijah Faber tells Dominick Cruz that the only way he’ll stop him will be to injure him during the fight

UFC bantamweight number one contender, Urijah Faber has been giving his thoughts on his fight tomorrow night at UFC 132 with current champion, Dominick Cruz, explaining he’ll never be broken mentally so the only chance the champion has is to injure him physically.
Speaking via UFC.com, Faber said:

“I remember growing up, my mom’s excuse for everything was ‘aw, they’re just jealous.’ Regardless of what Dominick Cruz thinks he wants or needs, what he really wants and what I have, he’s not gonna get from beating me in the cage. We’re different people and the chip on his shoulder, I don’t know if it’s because of me or because of life or what, but we’re gonna go out there and fight, and I don’t mind being the recipient of his frustration. I’m not worried about that.”

“I’m not a huge planner out there. I’m an elusive fighter, I fight different all the time, and I guess the best bet is to injure me in some way because that’s usually what happens. (Laughs) Catch me with a good punch while I’m doing something crazy or injure me in some way. But even when I’m injured, I’m still going to the bitter end. If you want to talk gameplans, then that’s it because that’s the only way I’ve lost. I lost to three people in my career and they’ve all been bigger than I am (Aldo, Brown (twice), Tyson Griffin). In one fight I had two damaged hands (Brown II), in two fights I got caught with a punch when I was jumping up in the air (Brown I, Griffin), and in one fight I got my legs blasted to where I couldn’t barely walk (Aldo). That’s the gameplan – injure me.”

Faber recently made his octagon debut at UFC 128 in Newark, New Jersey, defeating another former 135 pound champion, Eddie Wineland via unanimous decision after seemingly losing the first round. Stay tuned to MMABay for more build-up to this one as we get it.
