Cruz tears ACL, out of UFC 148

Fuck you. Don't say that to me. Don't you say that to me.

Has to be McDonald getting the call, if they choose to go with a replacement.

Man, July 4th card would've been a disaster if they didn't move Anderson-Chael

UFC can't catch a break.

Easy fix:

Move up Bareo to face Faber for an interim.

Mayday vs Ivan for the next shot.

Cruz hasn't mentioned anything about this on his twitter

I figured the easier fix would be to give McDonald the fight since he isn't tied up. Let the Barao-Ivan fight happen as planned.

awe man this sux!

Yes it does. McDonald or Barao are the only viable replacement options.

Bareo vs Faber/Mayday vs Faber are good fights regardless. I have not problem with either happening.

Favor Faber slightly in both of them. I think Bareo could win a competive decision and Mayday could straight knockFaber out, but I think Faber having more experience fighting higher level guys and his grappling chops will help him in both of these matchups.

It's crazy to thing if Mayday wins he will be a champion at only 21.

So this would be for an interim belt?

It's not even sure if there will be a replacement. It just might be delayed.

I realize that, but the fights people are throwing out, 3 rounder(non main vent BS) or 5 round interim?

I'm assuming that if Faber doesn't wait around, it will be a 5 round interim title. Just my guess.

Regardless, the UFC is having a rough year. Canceled events, injuries, Fuel TV not being readily available to Comcast customers, It has been a rough start. But I figure they can handle the swings. But this sucks...

ACL...or scared?

jp...thats a bummer. I was looking forward to the rubber match.

Thats pretty long term. I think they should find somebody to fight Faber for an interim

GSP tore his in Dec, I think, and he is still out. Cruz will be lucky to be fighting by Feb. I think we need an interim belt as well.

They should have kept Bisping vs. Barbarian on the card.

Torn ACL damn that sucks.

Faber
Sucks about @thedomin8r hope recovers fast! Sounds like 9 months aftr surgery @renanbaraoufc seems like the best replacement! @danawhite

9 months fuck.

Yo Faber is a gangster for asking for the toughest fight.

Except he didn't.

So who was the Faber look alike in the video who asks for Barao? (or McDonald)

The dangers of nutriding.
