Urijah Faber responded to Dominick Cruz's latest comments on Thursday in a post to Instagram, refuting that he's had anything gifted to him in his career, and hoping for that title fight to get in the final word.
Penick's Analysis: Perhaps "gifted" is an unfair term, but Faber's certainly not the most deserving of challengers at the moment. Still, the fight itself works well enough, and there's unfinished business between the two of them for the UFC to sell that fight. Can Faber beat Cruz in 2016? Maybe. It seems doubtful, but despite his lack of title fight success over the last several years, he's beaten just about everyone else he's faced, so there's an outside chance of it happening.
