SAN JOSE, Calif. - Urijah Faber was tired of hearing he didn't deserve an immediate rematch against Dominick Cruz's UFC bantamweight title, so he took matters into his own hands and laid some lumber on Brian Bowles.
Faber crushed Bowles with an uppercut in the second. The Georgian was stunned and eventually found himself on his back when Faber nailed him with a knee in close quarters. Faber went into overdrive on the ground. Bowles couldn't fend him off. Faber eventually got control of Bowles' head and locked on a mean guillotine choke to get the submission victory at 1:27 of the second round at UFC 139 in the HP Pavilion.
Just seconds after the fight was finished, Faber immediately turned his attention to his nemesis Cruz,.
"Dominick, you can run but you can't hide. Throw some gel in that widow's peak and let's do some work. Let's battle," said Faber.
Faber and Cruz brawled for five hard rounds at UFC 132. Cruz won via unanimous decision, but Faber believes the judges blew it. Before Saturday's fight, he admitted he needs to play the judges more to get a win against Cruz, who is a whirling dervish, winning over MMA judges with his high-volume style.
Faber showed some stones trading shots with the heavy-handed Bowles throughout the first. Bowles lone path to victory was probably landing a big right hand. Faber's movement, fakes and speed threw Bowles off. He wasn't aggressive.
In the second, Faber took advantage of a very flat-footed Bowles. The 5-foot-6 Faber covered roughly five feet of space in seconds and landed the huge uppercut.
