Posted on January 1, 2012, 02:05 PM by Joey SantosusPerennial Bantamweight contender Urijah Faber, who will coach opposite division Champion Dominick Cruz on The Ultimate Fighter 15, discusses his expectations for the show, and shares his thoughts on spending 12 weeks with his long-time rival. Faber admits he's "not too excited" about hanging out with Cruz for an extended period of time, but says he looks forward to being able to get into the champ's head before beating his physically at the finale.

"I think it will be fun. I'm not necessarily too excited about hanging out with him, per se, but being able to get into his head and, basically, beat him mentally and then beat him physically is going to be a nice stretch of time. I think I'm the more creative guy. I'm not necessarily a big prankster, but if that's what it calls for, I'm going to win at everything, period. I'm not going to be fazed by anything he does. He's going to make some stupid jokes, he's going to make - whatever it is he does, it's water off my back. I'm not worried about that. I think the interesting part is going to be how he adjusts. ... I'll be fine in a new environment. I mean, I'll sit down with the guy and have a beer, it's just, the whole time I'm thinking about punching the guy in the chin."

The announcer looks like Lee Murray.
I was going to say Demian Maia.
I think Faber will beat Cruz, I thought he edged out Cruz in there last fight, I think he will be more aggressive this time n might even stop Cruz again
I like faber ! he is a funny kid ! Its a pity that he doesnt make his entrance dressed a a school boy in ua uniform , with geek glasses and stuff ! it would be badass , when he would remove the red tie and the white shirt and reveal his muscles ... A real mucle kid !
Im not buying it Faber you are no match for Cruz, or any champion as a matter of fact.
Urijah Faber, casual fans love him, hardcore fans hate him lol am i the only one who gets that vibe?
fake id... rejected!
shows this division lacks depth, how can he up against cruz again. :S
Because he destroyed top 3 Bowles
Are you taking a dump in your pic Ian? That's gross dude.
hahahaha now because of you Casey he will get a lot of acount views
and thats even worse.
These guys have got twelve long weeks together to find even more reasons why they don't care for the other. It should be fun to watch.
Faber lost all 5 rounds in their second fight... All of them..Those big punches that Faber landed were the only good thing that happened by his defense.. How many Big shots. Like 3 or 4.. Yet Cruz ate them and got right back up, and continue dominating... Cowboys dropped Nate with awesome kicks, Yet Nate got up and continue to dominate the fight..That an example people..So Cruz style and skills are to much for Faber. So again you can like it, or you can weak it. War Cruz. Faber = Overhype... Cruz will be Champion for a very long time..
Faber will be faster now that he shaved his hair off.
Sometimes I wonder if faber can poop out of his chin.
