UFC president, Dana White, does not hide his dissatisfaction with the delay in recovering from his knee Dominick Cruz, champion of the event in the bantamweight division. After putting an interim belt up for grabs – won by the Brazilian Renan Barao – the director is considering removing Cruz's title and consolidating the Tupiniquim athlete as the only champion in the category. But stop Urijah faber, only fighter to defeat Dominick Cruz, This should not happen.
“I don’t think they (UFC officials) should take the title away from Dominick. He is still, in my opinion, the champion. I don't think you should take a belt away from someone. I would be upset if they did that to me,” said Faber, in an interview with the North American website Sherdog
With a record of 19 wins and just one defeat, Dominick Cruz hasn't fought since October 2011 due to a knee injury. The fighter opted for an innovative treatment, with an anterior cruciate ligament implant taken from a cadaver. But his body rejected the tissue and he was forced to undergo further surgical treatment. The fighter still has no plans to return to the Octagon.
