Injured champ Dominick Cruz says rival Urijah Faber will only fight for ‘No. 1 contender’s belt’
A downcast Dominick Cruz said Wednesday that he'll be back better than ever from the anterior cruciate ligament tear he suffered last week that forced cancellation of his bantamweight title defense on July 7 against rival Urijah Faber, that was to be the co-main event of UFC 148 in Las Vegas.
Cruz, the UFC bantamweight champion, was sparring when he injured the knee. The ACL tear was diagnosed on Sunday in Las Vegas following an MRI. Cruz said the swelling needs to decrease before he can proceed with the surgery.
"It was a normal day in practice," Cruz told Cagewriter. "I went for a weird trip and it folded my knee. There was a really loud pop and I was kind of in denial the rest of the night. The next day, I went in and got an MRI. I got the results on Sunday and by Monday, the news was out."
On Tuesday on Fuel TV, UFC president Dana White said that Faber would fight an opponent to be named at UFC 148 for the interim belt. Cruz will fight the winner when he's healed. Cruz said recovery time is six to nine months, which will likely mean it will be at least 14 months between fights for him. He last fought in October when he defeated Demetrious Johnson via unanimous decision.
White didn't release names, but Faber did later on the show.
Dominick's been out since his last fight and has had several injuries. I think I'll be fighting Renan Barao, Ivan Menjivar or maybe Michael McDonald.
He'll carry a belt around, should he wins, and that will undoubtedly gall Cruz. There is no love lost between the two and they were paired as coaches on the current season of The Ultimate Fighter as a way to take advantage of the heat between them.
If Faber wins at UFC 148, he'll be the interim champion, but Cruz said that won't mean much.
"First of all, it's not like Faber is a lock to beat whoever they put him again," Cruz said. "If he gets it -- and that's a big if -- he won't be carrying around the championship belt. I am the champion and I have the belt. He'll have a No. 1 contender's belt.
"If he has that, big deal. You have to beat the champ to be the champion and he won't have beaten the champion. It's no guarantee he'll win no matter who he fights, but regardless of what happens, I hope he's happy running around with a No. 1 contender's belt, if he gets it."
Cruz said the only time he thinks of the injury is when he does interviews, which forces him to relieve the bad moment. But he said while it will hurt financially, he'll make it OK.
"I live humbly for this reason exactly," Cruz said. "Every fighter lives and dies by his own body. If you're a Trophy Truck driver and the truck breaks down, there is no season. As fighters, our bodies are our Trophy Trucks. This is a minor setback, but I live humbly knowing a situation like this could occur."

UFC 146 Recap: Dos Santos Stops Mir to Retain Belt, Velasquez Bloodies Silva
UFC 146 took place Saturday night live from Las Vegas, Nevada. The first ever all heavyweight card did not disappoint for action. In the main event, heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos kept the fight upright to batter Frank Mir and retain his heavyweight crown. In the co-main event of the evening, former champion Cain Velasquez destroyed Antonio Silva. In other action, Roy Nelson, Stipe Miocic, and Stefan Struve all notched victories on the card.

Despite campaign, White says no to Bonnar and Griffin as 'TUF: Live 2' coaches
It looks like "The Ultimate Fighter 1" will be Stephan Bonnar's reality-show swan song. The light-heavyweight veteran recently made a plea to appear on the 16th season of "TUF" alongside two-time opponent Forrest Griffin, but UFC president Dana White isn't keen on the idea.
"I know that's what he wants," White said. "No. Sorry, Stephan."

Though Dana White wants him at 205 lbs., Daniel Cormier may get UFC Heavyweight Title shot in debut
By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief
Daniel Cormier raised his stock even further last week when he defeated Josh Barnett in the finals of the Strikeforce Heavyweight World Grand Prix. He's got one more fight to take in Strikeforce before coming to the UFC, but should he win that fight, he's got something major to look forward to.
"If he comes over and wants to fight for the Heavyweight Championship, yes [he can have the shot]," UFC President Dana White revealed following Saturday's UFC 146 event (via MMAWeekly.com).
However, White would like to see Cormier make a move down to the light heavyweight division instead.
"He will end up coming over to the UFC. The thing is I'd love to see the guy go down to 205. I think he's a small heavyweight over here," White said. "Listen, I respect Josh Barnett, he did work Barnett. Barnett fights like once a year, I'm not taking anything away from Barnett, but it's a whole other ballgame over here.”
"I'm not telling him," White said. "The guy wants to stay at heavyweight, I'm not going to tell him where to go, but I think it would be a good move for him to go to 205."
Penick's Analysis: It will be interesting to see how the timing works out on this. Cormier said he's going to get surgery for his broken hand, so if he must fight once more in Strikeforce it won't be until October or later. If that's around when Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos have their rematch, it could work to have him debut into a title shot, bypassing Alistair Overeem or Fabricio Werdum. Or, if the injury keeps him out the rest of the year, maybe they bring him over to fight Overeem in January, or even have him face Fabricio Werdum first. Regardless, he'll be getting a big fight in his UFC debut. The cut to 205 just isn't going to happen. He's had well-documented issues with his kidneys and isn't going to put that type of stress on his body through weight-cutting. But he can hang in the UFC's heavyweight division.

Jason “Mayhem” Miller retires from fighting at UFC 146 loss and dismissal from UFC
Jason "Mayhem" Miller is a man of his word.
The now-unemployed fighter said before his bout with C.B. Dollaway that if he'd lost, he'd retire. He dropped a decision at UFC 146 on Saturday, then was cut from the UFC.
On Monday's "MMA Hour," he said he's walking away from fighting after winning 23 bouts and losing nine.
"Every fighter gives the same answer when they say they're retired. Pretty much every fighter says 'I'm retired until I need money.' I'm a pretty smart dude, I have other avenues open to me."
Miller hosts MTV's "Bully Beatdown," and is, as he puts it, a smart dude. He gets business and selling his own brand, which is why he uses the flamboyant entrances that Dana White blasted.
He also shed light on the "backstage incident" White referred to when discussing Miller's dismissal at the UFC 146 post-fight press conference.
"It was my mask," Miller said. "Burt suddenly started yelling about my mask. I had a gas mask for the troops underneath my paper bag, and Burt started telling me right as I'm walking out for the fight. I'm trying to get focused instead of arguing about a paper bag. Maybe it was my fault for, I don't know, I thought we had an understanding once I start walking out to the cage that now I'm working, but obviously we're not on a playing field of mutual respect."
He is referring to UFC backstage director and jack of all trades Burt Watson. UFC events being the well-run events they are has much to do with Watson and the respect fighters afford him. If there is just one rule that supersedes every other in the UFC, it's listen to Burt. Fighters, employees, media and anyone doing business with the UFC knows this. Whether Miller is right or wrong is not important.
Now, Miller will have both the time and freedom to figure out his next move. He tweeted on Tuesday:
Don't worry. I'm not dead. Just analyzing it all so I can share my human experience with you.
Though his next move won't be in a cage, it will still be interesting to see what Miller does with his post-fighting life

Donald Cerrone hoping to win UFC on Fuel 3 bonus for a pontoon boat
Donald Cerrone is used to walking away from fights with fight night bonuses. Stretching back to his days in the WEC, "Cowboy" has picked up nine Fight of the Night, Submission of the Night, or Knockout of the Night bonuses.
For tonight's UFC on Fuel 3 fight against Jeremy Stephens, it's not surprising that Cerrone already has plans for the next bonus he will try to win.
"You name it, the post-fight bonuses, I'm going for it," Cerrone declared through his informal drawl. "I've got [expletive] to buy. I'm thinking (of getting) 10 or 12 girls to come out on a pontoon boat."
Since he has picked up so many bonus checks, perhaps the UFC needs to think of different ways to motivate Cerrone. Much as Lincoln Hawk arm-wrestled for a new tractor/trailer in "Over the Top," Cerrone could fight for a boat, or a new horse for his ranch, or a lifetime supply of cowboy hats. It's not too much to ask for.

‘Broke’ Tom Lawlor gets $40,000 Knockout of the Night bonus at UFC on Fuel 3
Tom Lawlor knocked out Jason MacDonald in under a minute at UFC on Fuel 3 Tuesday and earned a $40,000 Knockout of the Night bonus. It turns out the extra money could not have come at a better time.
Lawlor, who is known for his flamboyant entrances and joking mood, became serious in a post-fight interview with Ariel Helwani. When Helwani asked about the pressure to win after coming off a loss at UFC 139, Lawlor admitted that the pressures were financial.
"I'll be honest. I'm broke. I have no money. This money that I got today, it's going to be the first time I've deposited a check in over a year. A year and a half. This is like a big deal to me. I had to borrow money from friends and family just in order to go into this fight. I want to thank them, obviously. This means a lot to me mentally, it means a lot to my bank account."
He recently switched training camps and moved to Massachusetts to be closer to family. The cost of living and fighting just once in 2011 -- a loss to Chris Weidman at UFC 139 -- caught up with him.
"I think I miscalculated the cost of living in the Northeast," Lawlor said. "I basically took all my money, bought a house and blew through my money — just living costs, traveling, price of gas, multiple training locations."
Unlike in the four major sports leagues, fighters pay for their own training expenses. The win plus $40,000 in bonus money should help Lawlor pay back those friends and family who were kind enough to help him.

UFC 146 Bonuses: Dan Hardy, Roy Nelson, Paul Sass, and Stefan Struve earn extra $70,000
By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief
With a ton of stoppages to choose from at UFC 146, the UFC opted to give two "Knockout of the Night" bonuses and two "Submission of the Night" bonuses in lieu of a "Fight of the Night" on Saturday night.
Those $70,000 bonuses went to Dan Hardy and Roy Nelson, who defeated Duane "Bang" Ludwig and Dave "PeeWee" Herman in quick fashion in Las Vegas.
The bonus will be especially sweet for Hardy, who snapped a four-fight losing streak with the win. His stutter-step left hook knocked Ludwig down, and several elbows on the ground put him out cold. The win was Hardy's first since November of 2009.
Nelson picked up his third first-round knockout win in the UFC, and did so in just 51 seconds over Herman. After a brief range-finding process, he landed an overhand right that crumpled Herman to the mat.
"Submission of the Night" also had a lot of competition, and Paul Sass and Stefan Struve beat out Glover Teixeira for the honors; Sass with a slick first round triangle choke/armbar combo over Jacob Volkmann, and Struve with a first round armbar of Lavar Johsnon.
After being taken down, Sass trapped Volkmann's right arm and locked on the hold quickly, then wrenched the arm to force a quick tap. In Struve's case, he pulled guard after Johnson pushed him to the fence, then quickly locked up the hold and forced the immediate tap.
Updated as UFC announced the extra bonus to Struve late.

While Dos Santos’ opponent tomorrow night, Frank Mir, doesn’t necessarily disagree with the first part of the assessment he does take exception to the notion that the [...]

Breaking It Down: UFC 146 (Main Card)
Okay, so, the UFC 146 main card is huge – literally. I wonder if the UFC even bothered taking out their usual allotted three-hour slot on PPV, because they’re not going to need it because the violence will be abundant. Let’s get to it, shall we? Lavar Johnson (17-5) vs. Stefan Struve (23-5) Something tells [...]

B.J. Penn doesn't think Frankie Edgar deserves UFC Title rematch with Ben Henderson
By: Jamie Penick, MMATorch Editor-in-Chief
"Honestly, I don't think he should have [received a rematch]. He could make the case for it. He gave me a rematch. He had to give Gray [Maynard] the rematch, because they had a draw. I'd like to see Benson Henderson fight Nate Diaz. Fight someone else.... I got the rematch, some people say it was a close fight or not. Frankie's fight, I guess you could have made a case that he did well with Benson. But to me, I look at fights - I don't know who took the guy down more. I don't look at stuff like that. Who woke up in the morning and who was in more pain? I think Frankie Edgar was hurt the next morning. Benson told me [Edgar] had his 'stunner shades' on. I think he probably got hurt more."
-Appearing on Thursday's MMA Uncensored Live on Spike TV, former UFC Lightweight Champion B.J. Penn discusses why he doesn't think Frankie Edgar deserved a rematch against Benson Henderson (transcribed by MMAMania.com.
Penick's Analysis: Penn's "reasoning" that Edgar was hurting more the next morning is a ridiculous way to look at the fight, but there were certainly differences between the rematches that Edgar gave Penn and Maynard and the one he's getting with Henderson. The first fight with Penn was almost universally scored for Penn, despite Edgar getting the nod by the judges in Abu Dhabi. The second fight with Maynard was a draw that necessitated a third fight. Edgar's loss to Henderson was close, but still fairly clearly a 3-2 win for Henderson. Still, it doesn't matter that Edgar may have been hurt more in the fight, as that's not how fights are scored. He was hurt more in the second Maynard fight when he was nearly finished twice in the first round, yet he still came back to get the draw. The pain factor doesn't play into this at all on that front.

Mark Hunt injured, so Lavar Johnson jumps at chance to fight Stefan Struve at UFC 146
After earning a $65,000 bonus for Knockout of the Night on May 5 after stopping Pat Barry in the first round at UFC on Fox 3 in East Rutherford, N.J., you couldn't blame Lavar Johnson had he chosen to go on vacation. It was his second KO win in the UFC in four months and both times, the knockout came on national television.
He chose to take only a few days off, however, before returning to the gym on Monday. It paid off for him big-time on Thursday when he was offered, and quickly accepted, a contract to fight Stefan Struve on May 26 on the main card of UFC 146 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas.
Mark Hunt injured a knee in training and had to withdraw from the fight with Struve on the all-heavyweight card next week. The UFC offered the bout to Johnson, who came out of his first-round win over Barry unscathed.
He said he never hesitated in accepting the offer.
"This is what we do and it's my job to fight," Johnson told Cagewriter. "They called me up and I'm still in good shape. A fight is a fight, no matter who it is, or what. My job is to take the fight. I jumped right on it."
Johnson said he weighs 250, so he won't even have to worry about cutting weight to make the 265-pound limit for his fight against Struve.
At 6-11, Struve will have a seven-inch height advantage over the 6-4 Johnson, but Johnson insisted it won't matter.
"His reach is 83 and mine is 81 or 82," Johnson said. "I'm faster and I hit harder. I'm aggressive and I'll be right there in his face."
He was aggressive against both Barry and Joey Beltran, whom he knocked out on Jan. 28 at UFC on Fox 2. He took a few hellacious leg kicks from Barry in the early moments of the May 5 fight, but said he didn't feel them.
When friends brought it up to them, he acted surprised, saying he checked the kicks. But when he looked at the film, he realized he was hit full bore by Barry, one of the hardest kickers in the sport. But Johnson had prepared for Barry by training with kick boxer Carter Williams, himself a great kicker.
"That's what happens when you train with Carter," Johnson said, chuckling. "Eventually, you don't feel a thing."
He was a virtual unknown to UFC fans as 2012 began, known primarily as the fighter who was shot in the abdomen during a Fourth of July family reunion a few years ago. But if he beats Struve, he'll be 3-for-3 in 2012 with seven months still to go.
He hasn't heard much from UFC president Dana White, but said it didn't matter.
"My bonus check said enough for me," he said.

Louis Gaudinot considering losing his green mop of hair after UFC on Fox 3 win
Louis Gaudinot became known for his green hair while a castmember on "The Ultimate Fighter," but it got a bit out of hand on Saturday night at UFC on Fox 3. He won his bout over John Lineker by submission and the Fight of the Night bonus, but his long, thick, green hair became the focus of the bout. Dana White even joked that is was time for a cut.
Gaudinot told MMA Junkie Radio that he's thinking of cutting his hair, but he'll still keep it green.
"I was thinking about cutting it before the fight," Gaudinot said. "I'm kind of used to the long hair now, but I think I might have to cut it just for the next fight so it doesn't get in my face."
I can't understand why he would want to do that.
It's not like it got in his eyes.
Or made it easier for judges to tell when he got punched.
Yeah, on second thought, visiting a barbershop may not be such a bad idea, Louis.
