UFC 148: Urijah & Dominick Go Off On Each Other

MMA:30 caught up with Urijah Faber and Dominick Cruz at the UFC 148 Press Conference at the MGM Grand. Both talk about their respect for each other, their thoughts on their previous fights, and then hash out their differences on camera.

[@hdjfjfkdfkfkdhd4221]

Faber - "I'm cheering you on" Dom - "All I see is your chin flapping" 😂

[@carlDJS]

Lmao they're like two brothers who are the complete opposite of each other. Too funny

[@Kenneth-nt6bb]

ikr lol they funny

[@ChibiDeadPool]

Haha so true just like me and my brother lol

[@jordannolan4008]

Stepbrothers hahaha

[@dwanrobinson]

carlDJS I swear this is like a sibling rivalry. They pick at one another constantly. They really need to stop and grow up. Although it's entertaining nonetheless.

[@dwanrobinson]

It reminds me of my little brother and sister arguing all the damn time. I always have to step and tell them both to Stfu.

[@sECUREij]

I Love “you haven’t simulated anyone’s death yet” But it’s the line just before that. That gets me every time. “Oh gosh you’re gonna go there again” Cruz implying that Faber and himself have had that conversation about simulated death matches multiple times.

[@muaythaiboxer96]

"You haven't simulated anyone's death yet" holy smokes I lost it there.

@BAZINGA153760 I don't think so, there is no background stories on these two, I don't even consider as a rivalry, Jones/DC Cruz/Team Alpham Male and Anderson Silva/Sonnen are the best for me, let's not forget Liddell and TiTo.

[@iamjp1]

@@alfredogonzalez2576 facts. those are the top 4 still. you kinda have to add conor vs khabib even though the fight wasn't really competitive just because of everything outside of the cage

Strange the first time around I was on Fabers side NOW Im on Cruz's side - the unlucky fukker has been tru the Mill, Hope he Beats Snakeshaw...

They fight to a draw at one point.. bust a human traffic sex slave strip club drug ring.. solve an inside job police dept. murder.. use martial arts in the fight scenes.. take a bullet for each other.. become best friends still arguing over donuts and protein shakes at the end.

[@lolthatsnotswag2795]

Howirya Doon yep, in his fucking prime and Faber destroyed him. WAR FABER

[@sdaftermath123]

lolthatsnotswag that was not his prime. that was only his 9th professional fight. he was a "Rookie". you can't go your entire career undefeated. you gotta make mistakes to become better. and DC beat him the 2nd time they met

[@Prince1Tony]

My favorite mma rivalry of all time. straight class with some jabs & jokes here and there

[@saztradamus]

"this is a simulated death match, and you haven't simulated anyones death yet" AHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@noble06]

Lmao, Yea that was an awesome ending. Faber ain't lyin either, because the ref really is the only thing keeping this from being a fight to the death.

[@culinaryg]

u guys know he finished his last fight right? lol for u guys to enter that comment passed that fight is ignorant but on the real note that comment faber made is prolly what caused him to finish the guy n guys the future

[@saztradamus]

culinaryg what are you talking about ahahahah

[@culinaryg]

saztradamus well these guys are talking about how Dominick hasn't finished anyone "how he hasn't simulated anyone's death yet" I'm just saying in that comment Dominick just tko or ko the dude last month on ufc

[@saztradamus]

culinaryg ohhhh okay, yeah you're absolutely right, but before that almost every dominic cruz fight has been a decision win. i personally think he'll beat dillashaw but who knows. dillashaw is weird he goes off sometimes

[@rwasta7007]

i said it before, and ill say it again. "this is a simulated death match, and you haven't simulated anybody's death yet" is by far the best mma quote OF ALL TIME

[@luuwatGAMING]

LOOL...everyone thought he as going to decision mizugaki...no1 expected a TKO. THE DECISIONATOR.

Urijah will win because he has psychic powers 4:56

[@willowsociety]

He didn't tho. Still Love the guy.

[@savethemales8573]

5:16 I love how they start hand flexing at almost the same time, as if they were going to go right there

[@matthewbourassa7254]

I noticed this too, lots of tension for sure. Urijah was doing it a lot more through the video which I was surprised at, he's a pretty calm guy.

[@PussiesUnite]

Meanwhile Chael is thinking how nice Anderson smelled the first time that he met him.

[@tyauer1123]

When I watch this I feel like Cruz and Faber missed the mark in life where they could have been really good buddies. They have similar dispositions.

[@rafaellyle1579]

dark zaku Cruz would murder him in shit talk

[@jordannolan4008]

Varun Mehrotra nahhhhhhhhh

[@mysticmac5555]

Yeah Conor would destroy him in every single aspect; verbal and physical.

[@robertsarorn6273]

Cruz would wreck him in the trash talk because he uses statistics, facts, and common sense. McGregor only uses profanity 👎🏼

[@Robin-kp1nv]

Conor only does three things. Brings up money. Tries to scream and laugh whenever the other guy talks and swears in his cute Irish voice. That's not great trashtalking like Cruz or Sonnen.

[@siegodanchez6487]

you havent simulated anyones death yet.....best part

[@Jay9xOTDark]

LMAO!! Yes!! Best part of the whole interview!!!!! Ugh I hope Dom gets him soon

[@ThePat1221]

I love that they can sit next to each other and trash talk calmly.

[@dontdex8221]

Chael & Dom are such good friends, even called him to announce the Suga fight.

[@AT-db9gu]

cruz has the narrowest shoulders I have ever seen

[@dom123456able]

So true that's the only reason he makes 135 because of his small shoulders, because he the same heights as some lightweights and bigger than most featherweights. His shoulders are the only reason he looks small

[@BasicGestalt]

Jorge lopez i think its just that his head is so big it makes his shoulders look small by comparison lol

[@82bernt]

+Lemon Grab he i s fucking good,,are you blind

[@tonybennett335]

3 years out has damaged Dominick he actually seems cool as fuck . He is certainly big enough to beat Dillashaw. I never expected anyone else but Barao to have the belt. I like this match up better. However they are rushing him. Think he should have 1 more fight first.

[@adamjanssen9527]

You need more thumbs up, I personally wouldn't mind seeing a Faber Cruz rematch before Dillashaw. But that's just cuz I want to see them fight again.

[@himi1509]

The undefeated undisputed was sitting there calmly

[@stevegutierrez8679]

So funny that Cruz is basically saying Uriah doesn't have much career left cuz he's older. Shortly after Cruz blows his knee and has had 1 fight in the past 3 years while faber has stayed busy. Watch what u say

[@LynchByInch]

+Steve Gutierrez karma

[@bucky90269]

+Steve Gutierrez lol so true. Shortly after this interview Cruz becomes Mr. Glass of MMA, while Urijah is basically MMA's ironman, who shows no signs of slowing down. Always hated the way Cruz fights, Urijah is 100% right Cruz is the decisionator not the dominator. I hope Cruz's style doesn't catch on because it is very Floyd Mayweather esque where you win by out scoring the opponent not by fighting the opponent. It makes for a boring fight IMO.

[@blakedizzle101]

+bucky thetruck lol people pick and choose on when they like floyd , whats wrong with beating ur opponent for 12 or 5 or 3 rounds my skillz verse yours floyd is 49 0 its not floyds fault fighters cant hit him but he can hit u ....just doesnt make since if u trying to loose then take all the punishment then people gone call u a bum smh

[@bucky90269]

Malike Bennett - I don't think you understand where Im coming from. I agree that Floyd is the best boxer on the earth and i would say he is prob the greatest defensive fighter of all time. He's a tactician. There are prob a lot of people who enjoy watching that style of a fight, Im just not one of them. To me it becomes repetitive and boring. You never see anything exciting or different he never knocks people out he grinds out every victory. While i can appreciate his skills as a boxer, it doesn't mean I have to like watching it. Dominick Cruz falls into a similar category for me. I think he's good but i don't tune in to watch him.

[@blakedizzle101]

lol my point is its called boxing the beauty is many styles to it things that are boring people dont do floyd is really a genius cause hes so boring people will pay to see him lose smh u cant become the best taking punishment look at anderson silva legend hard to hit no one ever calls him boring he not the same any more

[@GaryTruesdale]
