Cruz says for the first time in his career he has some emotion going into this fight and Faber is going to get the “very best Dominick Cruz†on July 2.
In addition to talking with Cruz, the guys look back at last weekend’s UFC Fight Night 24 event and discuss Phil Davis‘ performance against “Lil Nog†in the main event (Davis was a guest on last week’s show).
