BREAKING NEWS: UFC 148 – Dominick Cruz injures his ACL, pulled from July 7th title fight with Urijah Faber
In an interesting twist it seems UFC bantamweight champion, Dominick Cruz has been forced to withdraw from his UFC 148 title fight with Urijah Faber on July 7th in Las Vegas, Nevada after recently injuring his ACL, meaning the next few weeks on the hit reality show should be very telling indeed.
The news was revealed by MMAWeekly.com after speaking to sources close to the situation. The injury was sustained during his time on “The Ultimate Fighter Live”.
Faber will no doubt use the circumstance to rib on his bitter rival in the coming weeks if Cruz is forced to publically announce his withdrawal from the fight. It is unclear at this time whether a new opponent will be found for “The California Kid” or whether he’ll be pulled from the card as well. Stay tuned to MMABay for more news on this situation as we get it.
