– Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber spoke with mmajunkie.com, and during the conversation, Cruz said that no one card about the division when he was gone. Here is their conversation…

Dominick Cruz: “I mean, when I didn’t have the belt and I was out, who was talking about the 135-pound division? You couldn’t even name the top five in the division. And they kept doing rematches with Renan Barao, who got beat up by Dillashaw. They kept doing rematches because they had nothing else to sell, nothing else to go with.”

Urijah Faber Commented With The Following: “He was out for two years, and he had one fight, and he was out for another two years,” he said. “It’s kind of hard to keep a division going when you have guys sitting out. “I’ve had to fight multiple guys in the division he’s never even faced.”
