WEC 50: Faber says Cruz is a dope and disrespectul
There is no more polite dude in MMA than Urijah Faber. The former WEC champ has certainly done enough during his illustrious career to be a pompous jerk if he wanted. He could talk lots of trash, but it's hard to recall Faber really smashing someone. Then there's Dominick Cruz. The current bantamweight champ rubs Faber the wrong way, and he has no problem expressing his feelings about Cruz (2:33 mark). "There aren't many people I don't like out there," Faber told Larry Pepe of Pro MMA Radio. "For lack of a better way to describe him, he just seems like kind of a dope."Faber pointed to a UFC magazine piece on Cruz, where he talked about his reckless ways as a teen. Cruz told the mag that he got booted from his home for throwing parties at his mother's apartment. "What kind of sob story is that dude? He's throwing parties when he's 19 when his mom leaves town so then she kicked him out and he had to be off on his own," said Faber. "I don't know man, he just rubs me the wrong way. The way he was disrespectul when we first fought and just the way he carries himself."Faber's teammate and friend Joe Benavidez takes a run at Cruz's title belt next week at WEC 50. Mark it down, if Benavidez falls short, Faber will probably get a shot at Cruz down the road.
