Get fight-by-fight results from UFC 132: Cruz vs. Faber
LAS VEGAS -- The smallest guys in the UFC put on the biggest show Saturday night at UFC 132 inside the MGM Grand Garden.
Dominick Cruz defeated Urijah Faber by unanimous decision (50-45, 49-46, 48-47) in a five-round bantamweight championship match that proved that a pair of 135-pound, former World Extreme Cagefighters could indeed carry a main UFC event.
"Me and Urijah set the bar for everything for 135s. We had something to show the world, that we could headline a card. We can compete with heavyweights, 170-pounders, everyone," said Cruz, who won for the first time in the UFC after parent company Zuffa merged the two promotions at the beginning of the year.
