Prediction: correct Cruz   correct Decision  

my big thing on this fight is if i was faber there is no way i would let this go to a decision.  either im getting KOed or he is.  I would take the risk of gassing out when i seen any opportunity because this will be the last chance at gold.

Prediction: wrong Faber   wrong Decision  

Faber needs to hire Paul Heyman to follow him around and hype the fight. Because he is the 1 in 21-1

Another amazing breakdown by the BJJ Scout. Watch it before the UFC takes it down like a lot of his other videos.

I cant see Faber's chance in this bout. IMO Cruz is to fast for him and he will be able to outwrestle him easily and of course he will win this fight #teamcruz

@AnAlias  Great video

IMO faber can do this if he uses power and doesnt let cruz get too comfy with his relaxed style.  I think cruz is the mayweather on MMA

Cruz by evasive footwork and speed. Uriah has been fading of late.

Don't think so. Cruz' style is so cardio-taxing he's usually fending off comebacks and protecting his lead in the championship rounds.

The fact that a guy with his style can actually go for 5 is pretty amazing and speaks volume towards his work ethic and cardio.

Cruz is very clever moving inside the octagon, he has the skills and foot technique to keep Faber away and at the end win by decision.
