Dominick Cruz doesn’t know who his first title defense will be against, but if it’s longtime rival Urijah Faber, the champion is happy to ‘gift’ him a title shot.

I like that Faber matchup because we were supposed to fight but it got put off because of my knee injury, so I feel like that could happen, Cruz told MMAjunkie. It’s been 10 years of building with this guy, and I just kind of want to shut him down and keep him out of the division after this. He really isn’t the most relevant guy in the world, but he still does a pretty good fight. He brings some things to the table. He’s still got a championship mindset.
I think this is just another gift for Faber. He’s been gifted his whole career with title shots, but oh well. Screw it. I’m all he’s got left, so I might as well give him one more.
