Best UFC 132: Cruz vs. Faber Moments in Pictures
Posted on July 5, 2011, 06:31 AM by Anton GurevichLowKick.com Photographer Scott Hirano was on site to capture the best moments from last weekend's UFC 132: Cruz vs. Faber, which took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event was headlined by Dominick Cruz's third conescutive UFC/WEC Bantamweight title defense against the arch nemesis Urijah Faber, as Chris Leben knocked out Wanderei Silva in the co-main event of the night. Also, former Light Heavyweight Champion Tito Ortz had a date with destiny, defeating Ryan Bader via Submission in Round 1. It was Ortiz's first victory in five years, and without a doubt the most important in his illustrious MMA career.
Here's 16 pictures from what was without a doubt one of the best fight nights so far this year. Make sure you "like" Scott Hirano's page on Facebook, and check out his website at ScottHirano.com.

All fighters made weight at UFC 132.
UFC's Bud Light Lime campaign painted the Octagon and its girls in green. We approve.
Another classic Tito Ortiz weigh-in. 24hrs later, Ortiz avoided punishment (retirement) by choking out Ryan Bader in Round 1.
Wanderlei Silva and Chris Leben in a classic staredown. Wandeco's last one in the UFC? We'll wait and see.
Urijah Faber "gets his size back" before going face-to-face with Dominick Cruz.
"Now I am the Master"
Green is the new Red/Blue
Tito Ortiz enters the Octagon, possibly for the last time in his MMA career.
Well, not really. Tito will jump higher than that in less than two minutes.
First submission victory in 11 years.
Chris Leben and Rafael dos Anjos celebrate, with their victims down motionless on the canvas.
But not "The Natural Born Killer". Carlos Condit makes sure if Dong Hyun Kim survived his vicious flying knee.
Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber went toe-to-toe for all five rounds.
But there was only one winner

If thats true then great job Scott!
No.. we lied. Scott wasn't really there :)
God, can't believe some of you didn't realise that was sarcasm. His name's on every picture, kind of the point...
scrolled down saw the 3rd pic had to change my pants...
Arianny's photo....I can almost see a 'toe' - love this pic
Condit's pic - I know he wants to see if Don is ok but ignoring that caption, it looks like Condit still want to fight another round
Holy shit Arianny is on form in that photo!
I'd really like to see this series back at more events great pictures bro!

I think you mean Chris Leben instead of Ortiz.. Nice pics, was hoping for a few more action shots tho.
Wow... yeah. Thanks ;)
i think u should be happy with what ya got....
My pleasure sir. Funny, I get "weaked" for trying to be helpful.
I wonder what Arianny's thinking in that pic...
Ye nice shirt but **** the guy wearing it.
Always amusing that Americans think that 1. It actually matters and 2. That Bin Laden was actually behind the attacks. Fool me once (Iraq) shame on you, Fool me twice (Bin Laden) shame on me.
