Johan Carmona I couldn't agree more with. Two stand up guys that not only represented themselves well but also showed the world that fighters are not just punks. Awesome way to go out.
Loose Cannon Pillman it's not really a fail gotta remember Fabre owns a win over dom by finish and dom has never finished Fabre despite faber being way older. Now to be clear I have mad respect for dom he is a wacky ninja just saying him and Fabre are closer in skill then people think. In mma sometimes it just doesn't go your way and Uriah had his chances and missed them by a few inches each time in the final title fights but no bigy he makes major money
Its funny I'm a Faber fan, but I have grown to respect Cruz over the years and I'm actually pulling for the guy now because I don't think that he gets the cred that he deserves. The Bantamweight division has really only had 2 stars in it and that's Cruz and Faber.
@PurpleRain500 they always respected eachothers abilities, don't get it twisted. They were rivals, no way they were going to show that before one retired. Doesn't mean they like each other and they're doing to be friends but they knew they were both bad dangerous dudes
UFC are so disrespectful for not making Faber the main event for his last fight in his home town. shakes head. He's a true gentlemen of the sport and i wish him all the best to him in his next chapter.
I won money with faber on that match up , he was big underdog , i understand he is 40 and Ricky is 27 , but ricky fought literally 1 medium difficulty oponent out of all his fights , Faber has been fighting top guys for at least 30 fights :) , it was obviously easy pick
they both did a lot. this article on faber was fantastic www.mmafighting.com/2016/11/25/13467872/urijah-faber-is-the-key-figure-historically-in-establishing-lighter-weight-mma
today we know the name of dominic cruz,mighty mouse,tj dilshaw,jose aldo ,renon barao etc. this is faber's contribution to the sport of mma... Thank you urijah Faber...
Omkar Bhatkar yes cause once upon a time it was those name fighting in a organization called WEC, they were young and exciting and now they are mma legends. Thank u faber!
He could keep going for ten more years like henderson but he felt that now it was the right time to stop and we must respect that he has 44 fights in total, he is a legend
Legends in their own rights. Mad respect for both guys, one of the greatest rivalries the ufc has seen. Great to see the respect they have for each other even after all their wars.
interesting you most be really new to this sport becauuse even most casual fans would of said a conor McGregor, Ronda rousey, or a Jon Jones fight but Dominick Cruz vs Uriah faber is something you don't hear everyday from a casual fan like yourself but that was still a good fight though
bisping and rockhold are both too childish to ever show respect like that. cruz and faber aren't bullshitting when they say they've grown up over the years fighting in this sport.
This right here got me in tears, this is what sports is all about about, no matter how much you hate or dispise a person, you always have respect for one another, shout out to Cruz and Faber, class act.
UFC ON FOX are being buffoons. Someone do me a favour and upload the Garbrandt-Cruz exchange and make sure the settings aren't restricted to certain countries. Thanks. :)
Haha.... this is probably the longest (active) rivalry in MMA I can think of right now. These two have been at each other's throats for YEARS (when they fighting, when they are not, when Faber's boys fight Dom etc etc)
They weren't always rivals. This isn't even the first example of mutual respect. If you want to hear faber's stories about Dom and him kinda getting along, he talked about it on a jre when Dom and him were at like a military boot camp thingy
Dom is such a ball buster. Talk about overflowing with confidence. I just have to laugh at it. I appreciate people like that. The best is he is subtle when he’s breaking balls. He doesn’t scream with veins bulging it of his head.
That is so cool, I always though that their trash talk is more like banter rather than actually hating each other. I dunno why but it never seemed like they disliked each other to me.
These two set the standards for the smaller guys. Both always stayed at the top. I will miss their fights and such a great rivalry. Much respect to both!
This put me in my feelings a bit. The rivalry was one of my favorite in UFC history. Plus Faber performed like a champ that night.. It's sad seeing him retire but I know his Alpha Male guys will continue his legacy.
A beautiful moment for the history of MMA! I wouldnt say i was a Faber fan over the years but much respect, always fought top competition, barely lost a fight with both hands broken, took a beating against Aldo and never quit. He practically made the featherweight and bantamweight divisions. Best regards and once again, much respect to Faber!
killmebaby lol you're right. I've been a fan of his since 05. The California kid will always be a legend. This Conor era is way different. Conor is good and all no doubt but these casual fans of his get annoying.
Uriah's such a good dude. I would love to see a show with him and Conor as the MMA Odd Couple. Couldn't be more different but they can't help but like each other...
WEC 26 back in 2007 I think. Faber was defending his title against Cruz. The promo poster didn't have a picture of Cruz, only Faber, so Cruz signed over Faber's face which Faber wasn't too happy about. Rivalry lifted from there.
Class, style , honor, integrity, strong character, warriors, genuine. REAL FIGHTERS. Tks for the memories Uriah. Cruz never backs down from a challenge. True Champion both have worked achieving greatness. Cruz ended up being the superior athlete in there battles. Uriah a genuine pioneer of MMA. Gonna miss the California kid in the octagon. Best of life to both...
I'm seventy-five years old and I'll tell you he's giving me a lot of joy and watching him fight and watching him come along and and I'll miss your fighting but I know we'll see him around.
Love seeing them getting along well here. At the end of the day their rivalry did wonders for both of their careers. The Cruz story can't be written without a few Faber chapters, and same for Faber. Faber only one of the three fights, but now is more of a businessman and looking for success in that area. Congrats to Faber, and let's hope for fireworks at UFC 207.
he gave him a present, shook hands and then start arguing 30 seconds later lol.. gotta love these 2
hst9 😂😂😂
I feel like they will be buddies in a couple of years when Dom gets done too lol
hst9 lol
Absolutely killed me.
hst9 i hope urijah become a fox analyst, and alongside cruz breakdown a fight, but it will be unlikely because faber need to manage team alpha male
One of the best rivalries in MMA history, thank you both.
CyclonicDeath agreed 100%
you'd be surprised
It sure was. Team Alpha Male (Benavidez, TJ, Faber, Cody) was like the X-Men trying to take out Apocalypse (Cruz).
Haley Arida - But Faber beat him once and arguably beat him in the second fight.
CyclonicDeath It's not over yet either. Cruz is just being nice because Faber retired.
It will be back to trash talking next week.
This has to go down as one of the greatest moments in UFC history
Johan Carmona definitely
Only real fans know how long these guys have hated each other until now.
Johan Carmona I couldn't agree more with. Two stand up guys that not only represented themselves well but also showed the world that fighters are not just punks. Awesome way to go out.
One of the greatest moments was when Randy Couture literally spanked Tito Ortiz.
Word. He also said that’s a bad boy bad bad boy Tito while doing it lol
Love the sportsmanship between Dominick and Urijah, very class act
from your pal #1 P4P dom cruz
Langit masvidal should learn a thing from them. That punk
Never seen any other rivalry where they sit the 2 right next to each other
Faber vs Cruz rivalry ended but Cruz vs TeamAlphaMale is still in play.
Dominick "MY GOD ITS JASON BOURNE" Cruz is in play.
Plexiun "team alpha fail" -Cruz
Shows how great Cruz is lol. Him versus the cream of the crop at Team Alpha Male.
It looks like TeamAlphaMale was created to destroy Cruz but fails
Loose Cannon Pillman it's not really a fail gotta remember Fabre owns a win over dom by finish and dom has never finished Fabre despite faber being way older. Now to be clear I have mad respect for dom he is a wacky ninja just saying him and Fabre are closer in skill then people think.

And you look like Kris Jenner
@@harleyzeth beat me to it lol
@@harleyzeth that was funny af from Mcregor. Still, Faber stil looks like a cliche 6ft superhero squashed down into a 5ft7 body haha
Even as a Cruz fan, you can't not respect Faber and what he has done for the lighter weight classes.
Neezy agreed. But one can still like and respect faber even if you're a Cruz fan. Both these lads are legends
" can't not respect Faber" - that's a double negative. Does that mean you can't respect Faber?
Oops, meant to say "can't help but respect him".
(y)
I hate it when people choose sides and never give an inch of credit.. as a fan it's completely ridiculous sometimes.
Its funny I'm a Faber fan, but I have grown to respect Cruz over the years and I'm actually pulling for the guy now because I don't think that he gets the cred that he deserves. The Bantamweight division has really only had 2 stars in it and that's Cruz and Faber.
S/O to Dom for that show of respect, real recognize real.
Real dat! lol
®®® its tattooed on me for a reason
yes really nice idea
what does S/O mean? sorry if thats a dumb question
+Matthew Chambers shout out
faber and Cruz always had respect for each other!
Adrien Gonz Except of the years they were fighting... 😅
Respect where, under the arms? I never saw it.
Always bro, no matter how much bad blood they had, they gotta respect each other from all the battles they had in the octagon.
@PurpleRain500 they always respected eachothers abilities, don't get it twisted. They were rivals, no way they were going to show that before one retired. Doesn't mean they like each other and they're doing to be friends but they knew they were both bad dangerous dudes
this to me was like watching your divorced parents get back together

it's Urijah, sorry. Love ya Ricky J!
Ricky J Sports he’s back!
If only that was true
Ayyye Rickeeyyye!!! Not after that petyr yan fight brotha
He's a legend. He's done A LOT for 'smaller' guys in mma. Much respect Faber.
UFC are so disrespectful for not making Faber the main event for his last fight in his home town. shakes head. He's a true gentlemen of the sport and i wish him all the best to him in his next chapter.
Uriah has no problem with Paige, Gall, and Sage fighting in the main event. He believes that these people are the future of the UFC.
He says that cos he's too nice. Still a slap in the face imo
Charlie Parker Faber's cool with it so that should be good enough for everyone else.
+Charlie Parker
Against who?
UFC gave him a cream puff to go out on a win with..
Think that was nice enough of them.
Charlie Parker Soft, lol..
How about you tell me who UFC should've given Faber?
Anybody here after Faber came out of retirement and knocked out a young bull of a prospect? Was awesome to see. Urijah is always a favorite of mine
I won money with faber on that match up , he was big underdog , i understand he is 40 and Ricky is 27 , but ricky fought literally 1 medium difficulty oponent out of all his fights , Faber has been fighting top guys for at least 30 fights :) , it was obviously easy pick
Faber is still Faber even after time off. He wouldn’t have come back if he thought he couldn’t compete.
Petr yan
Ricky simon is no bull lol he is nothing
@@alphag5240 no you're nothing, he's a ufc fighter.
he really is the guy that brought the smaller weight classes to forefront
not BJ Penn?
they both did a lot. this article on faber was fantastic www.mmafighting.com/2016/11/25/13467872/urijah-faber-is-the-key-figure-historically-in-establishing-lighter-weight-mma

indeed
Ty Mc They mean in terms of midgets
He’s da guy, Joe Hogan
today we know the name of dominic cruz,mighty mouse,tj dilshaw,jose aldo ,renon barao etc.
this is faber's contribution to the sport of mma...
Thank you urijah Faber...
Omkar Bhatkar mighty mouse was on TV thirty years ago. No idea who those other bums are you mentioned.
Dave Strong let me guess your a Conor fan..
Omkar Bhatk
Omkar Bhatkar yes cause once upon a time it was those name fighting in a organization called WEC, they were young and exciting and now they are mma legends. Thank u faber!
It almost brought me to tears watching them shake hands without any animosity.
permos12345 same.
Can't stop laughing,You made my Night brah. lol
Mason Seguirant 😂😂😂
Really, to tears?
Notice when they shake hands Cruz has the dominant top position while Faber the submissive bottom. Cruz even wants to win the handshake hahaha.
Faber gave his hand to Dom first if you take a better look so you can't really say that Cruz intentionally has the top position since Faber was first.
ThingsAreLookingUp did you even see his index finger trying to pass guard in side control the sly dog hahaha
1234adebayor haha
Mislav Parić jesus christ man
that was funny lol
wow how good did Faber look in that final fight.
He could keep going for ten more years like henderson but he felt that now it was the right time to stop and we must respect that he has 44 fights in total, he is a legend
Was on trt my guess, had nothing to lose
Cause it was a gimmie fight. anyone would be a fool to put money on Pickett on fabers last fight.
Since when did Faber juice? isn't he all holistic this, raw veg that?
He doesn't, people just can't grasp what they can't achieve...people can't control themselves so they hate on those who can.
I thought Dom was gonna give Urijah a UFC belt
aaahahahahahhaha lol
Hahahaha underrated comment
thats foul hahahaa
The greatest bantamweight rivalry of all time. These two changed the sport. Much respect.
im not crying
Krombopulos Colt he has one of the greatest if not the greaters chins in history
I've had to hold back tears a couple times this weekend, not gonna lie lol.
Krombopulos Colt i teared up during urijahs walk out and post fight interview!
it's not tears... It's just your allergies... but don't feel bad b/c mine is bothering me too *sniff*
Israel Delacruz Got something in my eye. Both of em.
There's probably an alternate Universe where Domminick Cruz is an Team-Alpha-Male member.😄😄
Iam Pyre nou
i wanna see cruz on dancing with the stars.....imagine some weird as dance move fotwork he would do
in an alternate universe Daniel Cormier knocks out Jon Jones with a jumping off the cage ninja kick
That's a good one
he’s too tall
that was touching. now lets see if DC and jones end up like that lol
Murdered Yakuza christ 😂😂
Haha omg
In your dreams. LOL
Millz_15 Kind of did lol
Nope nevee
Legends in their own rights. Mad respect for both guys, one of the greatest rivalries the ufc has seen. Great to see the respect they have for each other even after all their wars.
Top 5 best rivalries in ufc history
top 3
He said “I don’t want to petyr out of this sport”... ironic😂
That's cold! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cruz vs Faber 2 was the fight that really got me hooked onto MMA
Moises Hernandez Casul
Moises Hernandez new to the sport then ?
interesting you most be really new to this sport becauuse even most casual fans would of said a conor McGregor, Ronda rousey, or a Jon Jones fight but Dominick Cruz vs Uriah faber is something you don't hear everyday from a casual fan like yourself but that was still a good fight though
Craig Miller who cares dude
Leon Baskil shaaddup
DC is a good interviewer
DC Sucks He's IDIOT JOKE
Let's see if Bisping and Rockhold end up like that
Conor Mcgregor & Jose Aldo
bisping and rockhold are both too childish to ever show respect like that. cruz and faber aren't bullshitting when they say they've grown up over the years fighting in this sport.
True but faber and cruz were just acting childish and hating on each other 6 months ago when they fought SERAPHlM
Conor Mcgregor This here is a 10 year rivalry. Bisping and Rockhold barely know each other.
Bisping and Rockhold have known each other for around 2 years
is that the reebok sign on Urijah forehead?
HAHAHAHA!!!!
Haha he needs money since he isn't fighting anymore so he made a deal with Reebok on the side to wear their logo in scar form.
This right here got me in tears, this is what sports is all about about, no matter how much you hate or dispise a person, you always have respect for one another, shout out to Cruz and Faber, class act.
Classy, this sport is the best because of these kinds of moments.
IVEY 96 dumb comment
IVEY 96 yes
IVEY 96 Show you shouldnt shake a pwrsons hand after a fight?
IVEY 96 Just act like an animal after too
IVEY 96 grow up
Got a little nervous there at 3:30. haha
"No no no DC. I can thank the man myself." (Slatheras Vaseline across his mouth)
@@lowellupchurch1609 ayoo c'mon bruh
hey Mike, you again haha.
I hope when Jon Jones has grown up one day he and DC can have a moment like this.
CJ Goole would’ve been perfect if DC won. Unfortunately he got poked in the eye, we might have seen that happen.
Classy move by Cruz. Showing respect to Faber. Cruz's face was not even on that poster. Classy show of respect for sure.
"From your pal, D.Cruz." What an amazing end to that story xX
UFC ON FOX are being buffoons. Someone do me a favour and upload the Garbrandt-Cruz exchange and make sure the settings aren't restricted to certain countries. Thanks. :)
Use "unlocator" to temporarily change your dns addresses
o love you
ton of respect for both of these guys inside and outside the cage!
Haha.... this is probably the longest (active) rivalry in MMA I can think of right now. These two have been at each other's throats for YEARS (when they fighting, when they are not, when Faber's boys fight Dom etc etc)
that was actually a nice touch with the poster!
great to see the respect from two great fighters!👍
i just wanna know what dom would have done if urijah ripped that poster in two lol.
Thank you Dom for signing on Faber's face back in the day because it propelled one of the greatest rivalries in MMA/UFC history.
They weren't always rivals. This isn't even the first example of mutual respect. If you want to hear faber's stories about Dom and him kinda getting along, he talked about it on a jre when Dom and him were at like a military boot camp thingy
.....ok ill say it...i dont want the rivalry to end...love it.
Great respect ✊
lol DC said "you can get paid like us now, the big guys" lol
Dom is such a ball buster. Talk about overflowing with confidence. I just have to laugh at it. I appreciate people like that. The best is he is subtle when he’s breaking balls. He doesn’t scream with veins bulging it of his head.
The end of an Era glad they made up their rivalry has been legendary over the years
That is so cool, I always though that their trash talk is more like banter rather than actually hating each other. I dunno why but it never seemed like they disliked each other to me.
That's good stuff. I like both Dom and Urijah, so it's good to see them joking around and having fun together
2:39
DC: “I want to say
*FARTS*
thank you”
I love seeing stuff like this. These two are one of my favorite rivalries.
faber should be dating cruz
KikiOnChaufa lol
Hate people like you
Now my favorite interview of all time.
Classy move by the 135lb King Dom Cruz. Showing respect to Faber. Great gesture of sportsmanship. Classy Cruz.
Thank you Urijah I will forever miss the Cali kid in the octagon 🙏🏼
Haha, it's hilarious that Cruz is talking about finishing fights and sending people to hospitals.
I wouldn't count him out
Cherry Pauper sometimes people surprise you in life
He never plants his feet. He is very light on his feet so it is hard to get KO's that way.
Exactly. But he still can't generate as much power with his style.
now time for faber to join SUG
Ibahn Flanders
Exactly!
Jon Jones vs Uriah Faber in a grappling match
Cm punk vs Jones is probably happening at SUG 3
Yoel Romero vs D.J next
Dam that's a moment in UFC history,good to see it ended well !
It's always great bitter rivals makes it water under the bridge
Losing to the same guy a few times tends to answer that question
After watching these guys go at it for years it is nice to see these two get along.
Dominick the Dominator Cruz!!!
fighter who chooses not to get hit*
2:39 Who farted?😂😂😂
Andrew Hartley DC
Andrew Hartley lol I was laughing so hard
Andrew Hartley I think Jon anik just look at the look on his face
Moon Kelp 😂😂😂😂
Andrew Hartley, I think DC may have farted on him and that is why he made that face. Lol.
im about to cry watching this
baby
The
Amazing! This is what martial arts is all about! Massive respect to both!
DClarkeIndustries True a rivary based only around competition
Almost brought a tear to my eye.
Dominic "alpha male murker" Cruz
that's kool to see as much as I like when fighters can't stand each other kudos Dominick and peace to you Uriah
These two set the standards for the smaller guys. Both always stayed at the top. I will miss their fights and such a great rivalry. Much respect to both!
This put me in my feelings a bit. The rivalry was one of my favorite in UFC history. Plus Faber performed like a champ that night.. It's sad seeing him retire but I know his Alpha Male guys will continue his legacy.
Dominick actually predicted the future at 5:05 saying “He’s gonna be knocked after after this one buddy” 😂
It just wasn’t Dom who did it.
under the picture of the video it should say, "Faber proposes to Cruz"
A beautiful moment for the history of MMA! I wouldnt say i was a Faber fan over the years but much respect, always fought top competition, barely lost a fight with both hands broken, took a beating against Aldo and never quit. He practically made the featherweight and bantamweight divisions. Best regards and once again, much respect to Faber!
we will miss you Urijah.
killmebaby lol you're right. I've been a fan of his since 05. The California kid will always be a legend. This Conor era is way different. Conor is good and all no doubt but these casual fans of his get annoying.
Isaac Guillen especially on the internet
Thanks to both of Cruz and Faber making a lot of great fights between each other and now shaking hands and showing respect.
how could not like Faber
I think this is the most underrated rivalry of all time
Uriah's such a good dude. I would love to see a show with him and Conor as the MMA Odd Couple. Couldn't be more different but they can't help but like each other...
gonna miss that dude but glad to see he got to go out with a nice win on his own terms. legend.
what was up with that poster?
steven roman that's where the beef between them really started
Stefan Ambrister detail about the poster beef?
Dominick signed on Urijah Faber's face in every single one of the posters.
WEC 26 back in 2007 I think. Faber was defending his title against Cruz. The promo poster didn't have a picture of Cruz, only Faber, so Cruz signed over Faber's face which Faber wasn't too happy about. Rivalry lifted from there.
Always loved Dom, great trash talker and even greater guy 👍🏼
it will start again when dom whoops cody and faber starts making up excuses for cody
King Sasha Mitchell Cody is gonna shock you and the rest of the world.Just watch.
Lani The Creator u called it son
Faber represents the little guys! Great dude and solid fighter
Faber talks like a guy thats just won the lottery
kanenas well he really is set for life doing a job he loves
One of the coolest guy in mma. Thanx Faber. Would love to visit his gym.
Faber needs to be in the hall of fame got love him he paved the way guys like Cruz Johnson and McGregor
ham wallet he didnt just pave the way for cruz, he gave him motivation to become better, to become the champion he is today
Connor Wilson I agree I am just he showed that the lighter weights can be a draw and have become bigger than the heavyweights
ham wallet Conors not that small bj penn paved they way for conor but faber did pave the way for many small guys
ham wallet ..Mctapper wants to make mayweather numbers.. in fact even amir glass chin khan is making more money than mctapper
Alex Sanchez bj wasn't that small he fought at as high as heavyweight before a small heavyweight but the point is think about the difference
Urijah just has to be the most sincere friendliest fighter ever! great fighter too.
This was a fun interview
Faber and Cruz first fight in the UFC is one of the best I've ever watched. One every MMA fan should see.
What a classy moment in UFC history!
Going to miss Uriah Faber..Always enjoyed watching him in the octagon..
What a way to go out!!
Now Urijah is back and Dom is working towards it again
Class, style , honor, integrity, strong character, warriors, genuine.
REAL FIGHTERS.
Tks for the memories Uriah. Cruz never backs down from a challenge.
True Champion both have worked achieving greatness.
Cruz ended up being the superior athlete in there battles.
Uriah a genuine pioneer of MMA. Gonna miss the California kid in the octagon.
Best of life to both...
Some things never change!
love this. Anyone who followed this rivalry through the years will appreciate it ending with a handshake. brilliant to see. class from cruz
Anyone here after his comeback
I'm seventy-five years old and I'll tell you he's giving me a lot of joy and watching him fight and watching him come along and and I'll miss your fighting but I know we'll see him around.
Urijah Faber begins the android-saga by building an anroid to beat Domminick Cruz.
Love seeing them getting along well here. At the end of the day their rivalry did wonders for both of their careers. The Cruz story can't be written without a few Faber chapters, and same for Faber. Faber only one of the three fights, but now is more of a businessman and looking for success in that area.
Congrats to Faber, and let's hope for fireworks at UFC 207.
