Easy decision really... Faber had a couple of hits that took him down and a take down or two.. other than that Cruz dictated the tempo and over punched.. and took him down way too many times.
I didn't see the Main Event just followed the play by play on Sherdog.. Looks like Cruz beat him with pressure and wrestling.. I said Faber was over-rated coming in to this.. He is a good fighter but such a product of WEC/UFC hype.. He is a good looking charasmatic guy with a fun style but like i said the little guys have caught up to him..
Good Job Cruz..

Give Bowles another shot. Cruz is badass though love his style
Did he really took Uriah down? Faber was up quickly.
It was compe ive fight. I have no idea how could you give 50-45 on scorecards?
I'm so happy for o man.. Back against the wall told to retire and he responds..
Awesome Job o...
And BTW Wandy, it's time to go bro..
Technically, yeah.. he did... and a lot of times, especially on the 5th round.. where he did it consecutively, even if he got up quickly... they still gave Cruz the points...
I missed this card, totally ready to enjoy it but had work and no access. Still, from what I saw right now it was a of a night and here's what I'd like to see now...
Bowles vs Demetrious for #1 BW Contender
Guillard vs Pettis (Clay belongs here according to the record, but that fight was bull ) for 3rd in line after Miller/Benson
Siver vs Guida for the le for most useless contender
o vs winner of Franklin/Lil Nog
Wanderlei vs Akiyama on the same card as the above fight
Leben vs Sonnen for Bisping/Miller winner
Condit vs Diaz (if he doesn't wanna fight GSP for the le) or Fitch, no excuses
Wandy
Legend forever but it's time to go big guy.. The chin is gone.. In 2007 he was eating hard shots from a near prime Liddell.. Now he is getting flattened by short punches from Leben 30 seconds into the fight..

I don't know if I would say Wanderlei ever had an "iron" chin, but the dude had an almost superhuman ability to recover from big shots. And it was sad to see Leben basically walk right through him.
And just lol @ Bader. The dude thinks he is calling out some washed up former champ and he ends getting embarrassed.
I just realized that I picked more than five fights. Not quite sure what I was thinking. Please disregard the Silva and Bader fights. Thanks.
