Dominick Cruz Injured, Out of UFC 148

Barring Further Setbacks, Dominick Cruz vs. Renan Barão Could Happen This Summer

It looks like Urijah Faber will have to wait for the chance to settle his long standing rivalry with Dominick Cruz.

The UFC's reigning bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz has been forced out of UFC 148 after suffering a knee injury in training while working at The Ultimate Fighter Live.

Sources close to the situation confirmed the news to MMAWeekly.com on Monday.

Cruz was coaching alongside his teammates from the Alliance Training Center, teaching his team of lightweights on the first ever installment of TUF on FX.

The injury occurred while Cruz was working with his team, while also training for his showdown to Faber on July 7 in Las Vegas.

Cruz being forced out of the bout now leaves Urijah Faber without an opponent for the UFC 148 card, and it's unclear at this time if there will be a replacement or if Faber will be pulled.
