Through the majority of the 15th season of The Ultimate Fighter, thinking we were going to see the rubber match of Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber (Faber won the first fight by a one arm guillotine and Cruz won the 2nd by a 5 round decision), Cruz ended up tearing his knee to shreds putting him out for close to a year. So instead of putting the Bantamweight division on hold, the UFC decided to put on an interim title fight. Basically a glorified #1 contender fight BUT this is a great match up between two tough tough fighters. I for one am EXCITED for this fight. I can't even venture a guess as to who will take this one.
