UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz spoke inside the Octagon after his unanimous decision win against Urijah Faber in the co-main event of UFC 199.
Man faber is the classiest fighter ever. Winning or losing. I've seen other Q&A's with faber and hes always so chill. He strikes more of a coach that is also really good at fighting.
Classy in victory and defeat. About as awesome of a person as they come. I met him WAY long ago in New Jersey and he was as humble and awesome then as he is now. Class act.
Uriah Faber I've been a fan for years. Honestly... I can see it in your eyes. You knew you didn't perform tonight. you got rocked in the second and couldn't get the courage after to do anything about it. Regardless of my emotional disappointment. You took the lose like a "champ". and i will always respect that.
Faber knew he lost. Didn't even raise his hand when the fight was being called. Just stood their clapping at the fact he just got beat 5 rounds straight.
congratz to bisping but ive been wondering this for a while, am i the only one who saw bisping closing his guard after luke kicked his body? i think luke hurt him there but anyways congratz to bisping for winning the long awaited championship.
Murdered Yakuza faber threw the same 2 raggedy and wild punches the rest of the fight. Embarrassing performance. He should of just left it all in the octagon.
Someone should make a montage of joe announcing a fighters retirement post fight interview. Even if a fighter doesn't say it joe will say it for them lol. If joe had his way everyone would be retired
Urijah gives the most honest post fight critiques of his performance, his fights against Mike Brown, Aldo, and Yan were unbelievable the punishment he took and the will to keep fighting. He is one of those guys who can manage to lose and still steal the show
Loool Bisping had the heart, will and power. Rockhold was was waaaaaaaay to cocky it was bad, his jaw was open and wasn't tucked in, and he payed the price. Faber was getting irritated and impatient and was going wild, Cruz kept composed and dominated him. Amazing night.
This should have gotten fight of the night in my opinion. This was amazing to watch but I'm probably only saying that because Cruz dominated 😂 I love his style so much
Giving them fight of the night would of been wrong, since Faber's performance was rather bad. It takes both fighters to make a good fight of the night. This fight was one-sided. Faber I think is done, he''s never been a major threat in the UFC. Being 37 I think he's past his prime and Cruz might of deserved a bonus, but he didn't finish Faber while their were 2 other KO finishes throughout the night, so they got the bonuses instead. I think that would of ate at Faber if Cruz got a bonus from their fight lol.
Knowing when to congratulate your opponent... is harder than it seems... and Faber is humble, genuine, and smart enough to admit it. Props to Faber. Your big heart was always there!!
ufc 209 : Main Event - Nick Diaz vs Tyron (after he ktfos robbie lawler) Co main- Nate Diaz vs Conor Mcgregor 3 (After Conor wins by armbar) Jake Shields vs Conor's coach Mighty Mouse vs Travis Browne and Jose Aldo vs Daniel DC IS GOAT Cormier (after he submits jon by crushing)
If ANYTHING it will be weidman vs rockhold for #1 contendership. but the fact tha the fight was on short notice and that rockhold finished bisping before he definitely deserves IMMEDIATE REMATCH
yoo cham it doesn't matter how long he held the belt he's a top contender still and beat MIKE with one arm in their first fight so after Robert Whitaker he is probably getting that chance
+Van Boy you should watch the fight with Mendes. Ate like 25 elbows to the dome, said "whatchu got" then knocked him t'f out. If Conor's chin is glass what does that say about Aldo lmao
always been a Faber fan, but the better fighter won. wanted to see him go out on top. then again, to fight as long as he has and stay at the top. ..nothing wrong with that at all. keep your head up California kid!
And everyone was saying silva was shot. A 40 year old guy who came of many injuries did a hell of a lot better than Luke in my opinion silva won the bisping match as well. Makes Anderson look good.
I honestly believe Cruz and Faber are the two best fighers and the most professional in the UFC they shouldnt quit and should just continue on the dog fight. These two are amazing. Real talent.
Faber does not deserve it sorry glad to see him lose, he hasn't evolved since the wec days from hitting on lil Paige to having a crush on her bf cody. buttchin it's time to retire your not a kid anymore by the way so if you keep fighting Fabe I suggest the "California Prune "
I legitimately thought that Faber would beat Cruz given how hungry he is and what an awesome fighter he is. Cruz is just so unorthodox and smart he really knows how to pick apart his opponents. I used to think he wasn't entertaining but I guess that's just cause I'm a casual observer.
I know what it feels like: put in the hours, the hard work, everything u have and still get bested Hard work and experience may guarantee you GREATNESS It doesn't guarantee you GREATEST I almost cried watching Faber man. it's that same feeling when he fought Aldo. Jabs all day for Dom The Domin8r in pure form. Faber for hall of fame.
Cruz stays composed and acts with class despite all the negative prefight talk from Faber. Glad to see Fabers arrogant trash talk laid to waste. Great fight Cruz!
I wanted Cruz to win but seeing Faber lose is just heartbreaking. You can feel his own pain admitting this loss. Credit to you Urijah, you fight the fight.
faber only lost cause he didnt braid his hair
lol
richarizard he couldn't if he wanted to
Charlie Lenh you are silly
Faber did an even greater job than TJ in hitting the air.
Lmao
He just stared into the air while getting knocked down, rofl
true
+Juan Manuel more like who was faber fighting. he was swinging at air
gold
Man faber is the classiest fighter ever. Winning or losing. I've seen other Q&A's with faber and hes always so chill. He strikes more of a coach that is also really good at fighting.
Faber is a class act. rockhold, take notice...
indeed, im a cruz fan but i was neutral in this one, and it always sucks to see uriah loose and im from the east coast if that tells you something
Classy in victory and defeat. About as awesome of a person as they come. I met him WAY long ago in New Jersey and he was as humble and awesome then as he is now. Class act.
Yeah, but you could tell that he was hurt that he got booed because he lost to the P4P best fighter in the world.
Yep. Never talks shit.
Faber is an upstanding person.
Cruz is like a fucking video game character. what a crazy style, that actually fucking works! so. much. respect.
PA Kid it's kinda gay
+QWERTYGameCenter Not even what autism means, you moron.
Always liked Cruz he is special his movements are crazy .
no one come close to his movement maybe Johnson. still leaves fight to decision.
+jino y Not even johnson
+jino y Cody made him look like a 50 year old man.
+jino y Cody made him look like a 50 year old man.
+Sam Overturf Not really. I personally believe that Dom won the fight.
what a fucking amazing card!
So much fun
card of the year?
+dragster9000 nah 202
this was the best fight card I have seen in years. from dustin and boby to bisping and rockhold. freaking amazing card
+dragster9000 easily card of the year from prelims to main event
For me Faber put the smaller guys on the map.
True
surja el bekar
+Shpresa Gashi Syrja el bekare
Cruz, Faber, & Aldo. No doubt
all Conor lol
Definitely both honorable champion's
what do u mean horrible champions?
Eric Ism I wrote honorable
2007suprasport Dont like Faber but I think he won. He landed the bigger shots. He owned Cruz their first fight.
SmithN' Wesson you think he won this fight?
Hahahahaha the ultimate casual fan. The almighty leader.
Respect for Faber! Awesome fights over the years. His peak has come and gone. Nothing but love, do your thing Urijah!!!
did michael bisping just knock someone out and win a title or am i dreaming
Lol imagine someone who stopped watching the sport at around 2010 and then all of a sudden see Bisping as the new champ
i think iam on LSD or something!!! HOLLY SHIT I MUST BE HIGH AS FUCK
@@SavingPrivateBob that's very impressive .
I did that once and I don't remember shit about that night
@@SavingPrivateBob jeez thatd be way too hectic for me but what a payoff that must've been
your a idiot lol
@@SavingPrivateBob
hey.. faber class act!
Cruz is tough to hit and beat, im sad for Urijah, he seems like a chill dude.
I thought the same thing
Faber is a consummate pro, top-flight athlete and a man of integrity.
Wayne Hamilton Yeah I wish it had been his night like it was Bispings. Top of a great career.
Dominick successfully completed three wedgies and pants takedowns.
Urijah simply could not come back after that.
Uriah Faber I've been a fan for years. Honestly... I can see it in your eyes. You knew you didn't perform tonight. you got rocked in the second and couldn't get the courage after to do anything about it.
Regardless of my emotional disappointment. You took the lose like a "champ". and i will always respect that.
Faber knew he lost. Didn't even raise his hand when the fight was being called. Just stood their clapping at the fact he just got beat 5 rounds straight.
no duh
bantamweight after cruz comeback is awesome, it feels like the whole division is on fire
I feel bad for Faber, he looked really upset towards the end of the interview.
Nothing like Rockhold. Compare the two and find the real upset person.
looked like he was holding back tears, i feel sorry for the bloke
BISPING KO"ED LUKE LMAO
DC fatass is next lol
He thinks he's gonna win Vs Jones lol
Yea sure D.C lol
lmao
Bisping is the GOAT m8
bisping king of short notice??
congratz to bisping but ive been wondering this for a while, am i the only one who saw bisping closing his guard after luke kicked his body? i think luke hurt him there but anyways congratz to bisping for winning the long awaited championship.
Great fight! Respect to both!!!
Faber wat a stand up guy!!!
Faber was scared as fuck. Was i the only one who noticed?
Murdered Yakuza yeah, it was like he was petrified, not even really in the fight.
Murdered Yakuza faber threw the same 2 raggedy and wild punches the rest of the fight.
Embarrassing performance. He should of just left it all in the octagon.
two classy fighters. followed faber in the wec days. now cruz doing his thing. props
im drinking monster from now on
red bull may give you wings, but monster gives you better footwork...
NEW MONSTER SLOGAN CONFIRMED!!
+AngelCR you hold any product that pays you look
Who's here after Cruz called out monster energy exec Molenkanp?
@@themadas cruz stay trippin like a pair off shoes.
Faber has had an AWESOME CAREER💙💙💙💙💙
Urijah is like the Leonardo di caprio of ufc
Minus all the molestation
Without the good looks, height, wit, charisma, sex appeal and bank account
Benjamin Anderson Damn you ain’t have to do Urijah like that
What da fok
#UFC200 #LESNARVSCMPUNK FOR WWE WORLD TITLE IN A CAGE MATCH CONFIRMED
Lol.
Lol
lolololol
puhahha
That's not even a fight
I love how Faber always shouts out his boys. True loyalty
Respect to Cruz ! A real fighting enigma
Fuck man, Cruz really deserves his nickname. What a fighter.
WOOOOOOW was not expecting Bisping to knock out Rockhold... and I'm God!!
No you're not
To beat Silva and then KO Luke like that and finally get the belt...just wow.
Kiki Is Nice I'm impressed, plus Bisping earned it.
1:42 Reebok does not like "Just do it"
Someone should make a montage of joe announcing a fighters retirement post fight interview. Even if a fighter doesn't say it joe will say it for them lol. If joe had his way everyone would be retired
cody shouldn't getting a title shot anytime soon
+RedoranGuard-SkyrimBattles cody should fight john dodson and if he beats him then give him TJ if he beats him he would be very worthy of a title shot
Ariel Helwani banned from ufc for life? WTF
ikr wtf
He reported the Lesnar news before anyone and now he is banned, It's bullshit
No fuck that shit. They can't ban my favorite Jew
Lmao THAT WAS hILARIOUS.
where is your source?
Dominick Cruz is the #1 pound for pound fighter on this planet
Mighty Mouse says fuck you.
come on now.... If you understand MMA than u would know it would be DJ or Jones
No
+Thai Tran but Cruz whooped dj already...🤔
+Krist Mike D'arcy Jon Jones says fuck you.
These two guys always put on a good show for us. I give them both a thumbs up.
Urijah gives the most honest post fight critiques of his performance, his fights against Mike Brown, Aldo, and Yan were unbelievable the punishment he took and the will to keep fighting. He is one of those guys who can manage to lose and still steal the show
Loool Bisping had the heart, will and power. Rockhold was was waaaaaaaay to cocky it was bad, his jaw was open and wasn't tucked in, and he payed the price.
Faber was getting irritated and impatient and was going wild, Cruz kept composed and dominated him. Amazing night.
***** Not really its just that he didn't see the shot coming.
No Rockhold chin was up and he paid for it.
Fucking get in bisping that man is a hero
a warrior... not particularly a Bisping fan but I'm very happy for him, he deserves it. balls of steel
always humble and promoting his guys.
My team, my coaches, friends, neighboors, the guy who delivers my mail.. and oh God too.
My Jaw legit dropped for the Bisping fight
My jaw was dropped after the KO for like 5 minutes, just watching the replays, and watching Bisping's interview...
This should have gotten fight of the night in my opinion. This was amazing to watch but I'm probably only saying that because Cruz dominated 😂 I love his style so much
Giving them fight of the night would of been wrong, since Faber's performance was rather bad. It takes both fighters to make a good fight of the night. This fight was one-sided.

I think that would of ate at Faber if Cruz got a bonus from their fight lol.
FANtomCore Yeah, I acknowledged the fact that Cruz dominated the fight later in my comment.
Lol it would've been even funnier if they gave him an interim belt and a "Effort of the Night" bonus...
Faber além de uma carreira brilhante, um dos lutadores mais humildes q já assisti lutar!
Knowing when to congratulate your opponent... is harder than it seems... and Faber is humble, genuine, and smart enough to admit it. Props to Faber. Your big heart was always there!!
YES and that is something that asshole Luke Rockhold can learn from, just look at the press coference after the fight...
Rockhold just got knocked the fuck out. Believe you me
Crazy thing is Faber mentioned Cody here and Cody is the next one who beat Cruz
Dominick Cruz is not just the Goat, his story is so Beautiful. Dom is the Legend and an inspiration.
The rivalry has been fun Faber. Enjoy yourself, spend time with your family and relax. As a Cruz fan I respect you man.
BISPING DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hell yeah!
BELIEVE CONCEIVE ACHIEVE!!!
Yes sir!!
ufc 209 :
Main Event - Nick Diaz vs Tyron (after he ktfos robbie lawler)
Co main- Nate Diaz vs Conor Mcgregor 3 (After Conor wins by armbar)
Jake Shields vs Conor's coach
Mighty Mouse vs Travis Browne
and Jose Aldo vs Daniel DC IS GOAT Cormier (after he submits jon by crushing)
After Conor wins by armbar? Are you fucking crazyyyyyyy?
+Andy Foster take a joke
Anderson Silva everything else seemed possible apart from that sorry
Andy Foster lmao even Aldo vs DC ??
Weird how you joked about Woodley knocking lawler out
Both of them are beasts in their prime's, love this guyz.
He handled his loss extremely well for having an intense rivalry. Props to Faber.
HERE COMES THE BISPING VS ROCKHOLD 3
LESNAR!!!!
If ANYTHING it will be weidman vs rockhold for #1 contendership. but the fact tha the fight was on short notice and that rockhold finished bisping before he definitely deserves IMMEDIATE REMATCH
yoo cham it doesn't matter how long he held the belt he's a top contender still and beat MIKE with one arm in their first fight so after Robert Whitaker he is probably getting that chance
told everyone cruz was going to retire faber
Cruz is a boss! What mental strength and dedication to the game. To believe this man was out for so long and never missed a step.
Wow what a night! Brutal hendo ko and the upset of the year, wow! Along with cruz defending the belt.
Bisping just won!
BISPING WINS

it was clinical - just hit the sweet spots
Congrats to him
Brock "glass belly" Lesnar will get flagged by USADA for 50 unknown designer steroids and will be out of competition. #Ipredictthesethings
ROFL
Predict these tings*
Lesnar is gonna get knocked tha fugg out but our Lord & Savior, The P4P King, Dada "The GOAT" 5000 🐐
+BriefcaseBlues and Kimbo died from the aftershock of Dada's stone hands 🐐
Apparently Brock won't be tested because he's under Wwe contract . Least that's what I heard
Lots of respect to both fighters
props to cruz man. what a stud. true champ physically and mentally. hope to see faber come back though.
Luke Rockhold is poor man's Ronda Rousey.
Cruz reminds me of Mayweather. Both are difficult to hit and both hit hard enough to make guys back off and over think.
That's a great comparison.
Don't forget both always go for decisions. But fortunately, Cruz atleast tried to go for the finishcand showed his punching power
Don't ever compare cruz to mayweather. My god are you serious? Cruz boxing is horrendous
BISPING Koed Luke RockHold!!! HAIL Conor
fuck Conor "Glasschin" Mclown, GO BISPING
+Van Boy glasschin hahahaha
+Van Boy you should watch the fight with Mendes. Ate like 25 elbows to the dome, said "whatchu got" then knocked him t'f out. If Conor's chin is glass what does that say about Aldo lmao
god bless you Cruz. God bless you champ. Don't EVER end the fight. EVER!!!!
No more title fight for you faber
I hope Dominick Cruz have a episode in Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
Cruz is one of my fav fighters to watch.
Much respect to Faber. I wanted him to win but Cruz was the better man. Great fight!
Came to see faber cry
My man !
Richard Treneman
You have a piece of shit life. I hope you make changes in life
that was the worst insult I have ever seen.
LOL @REEBOK - JUST DO IT!
Outclassed... Cruz is from another planet
always been a Faber fan, but the better fighter won. wanted to see him go out on top. then again, to fight as long as he has and stay at the top. ..nothing wrong with that at all. keep your head up California kid!
IM BAAAAAAAAAACK MOTHERFUCKERS !!!!!!!!!!!!! HERE COMES THE FUCKIN PAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!! #UFC200
FUCK BABY LESNAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Michael bisping shocks the world!!! put some respeck on his name
RESPECK IT!
they are gonna bless it out
keep going faber dont give up still a fan
BISPING VS SILVA 2
MAKE IT HAPPEN DANA!
Yea because Silva def deserves a title shot over Romero, Souza, and Weidman..
And everyone was saying silva was shot. A 40 year old guy who came of many injuries did a hell of a lot better than Luke in my opinion silva won the bisping match as well. Makes Anderson look good.
Cody Garbrandt vs Dominick Cruz! Make this fight Cody will knock Dominick out cold!
let Cody fight top ten, so people can rip his jaw like reems
+Heartofa Lion Almeida's top 10 and got destroyed
almeaida was like 15 ? only fought 4 times in ufc.
+Heartofa Lion He's still ranked 10 even after his loss.
WOW!!!good for bisping man...hyped af I need a beer lol
Respect both fighters! To
Free Helwani!
I don't know, seems like he keeps doing stupid shit though
Cody has power no doubt but jesus Urijah he beat one ranked guy sit down, you couldn't even beat the guy you want him to face XD
ikr???
and now he's fighting Dom, crazy
No offense but reading these comments years later ( never watched the video) is kinda funny.
I honestly believe Cruz and Faber are the two best fighers and the most professional in the UFC they shouldnt quit and should just continue on the dog fight. These two are amazing. Real talent.
when are you guys gonna put up lukes and michael octagon review?
Faber does not deserve it sorry glad to see him lose, he hasn't evolved since the wec days
from hitting on lil Paige to having a crush on her bf cody. buttchin it's time to retire your not a kid anymore by the way so if you keep fighting Fabe I suggest the "California Prune "
Lmfaoo california prune
He hits hard... But not like Cody garbrandt.... What a loosing spirit.wtf..
Good job faber. way too be humble
Urijah, I like you, you are very humble! Congrats and keep fighting, you are there for the long hall
team alpha fail back at it again losing title fights!
cp3 fuc u
Fighting is so fluky, Bisping won, what a joke.
Salty hahahaha
Dwayne Hkh It's true man, that was bullshit. Bisping was getting destroyed, but he got one punch.
how is that a joke? It's part of the fight game. Anything can happen at anytime
Wtf are you talking about bisping was picking Luke apart then finished him in the 1st round with two weeks notice. #AndNew
+Alex Ynoa he wasn't getting destroyed
I legitimately thought that Faber would beat Cruz given how hungry he is and what an awesome fighter he is. Cruz is just so unorthodox and smart he really knows how to pick apart his opponents. I used to think he wasn't entertaining but I guess that's just cause I'm a casual observer.
I know what it feels like:
put in the hours, the hard work, everything u have and still get bested
Hard work and experience may guarantee you GREATNESS
It doesn't guarantee you GREATEST
I almost cried watching Faber man. it's that same feeling when he fought Aldo. Jabs all day for Dom
The Domin8r in pure form. Faber for hall of fame.
some people are just better than others, better than you and me. simple fact u have to accept.
Faber is classy in victory and defeat! a real sign of a decent human being!
That was one hell of a plug Dom!
legend has it Urijah faber is still waiting in that octagon for his name to be called
Cruz stays composed and acts with class despite all the negative prefight talk from Faber. Glad to see Fabers arrogant trash talk laid to waste. Great fight Cruz!
Props to Faber. Put the Lighter divisions on the map.
great sportsmanship by faber
I wanted Cruz to win but seeing Faber lose is just heartbreaking. You can feel his own pain admitting this loss. Credit to you Urijah, you fight the fight.
Anyone know why Cruz can have a sponsor? I thought reebok was the only sponsor they could have
