UFC 132: Cruz vs. Faber 2 Conference Call Live Updates

[WrestlingSmarks News]

The UFC will be hosting a conference call today at 2 p.m. ET to promote UFC 132: Cruz vs. Faber 2. Scheduled to appear on the call are titular fighters Dominick Cruz (UFC bantamweight champion) and Urijah Faber, plus former Pride middleweight kingpin Wanderlei Silva and Ultimate Fighter vanguard Chris Leben. No word on whether UFC President Dana White will participate.

Follow Mike Fagan on Twitter for live updates, and check back here after the call for a full recap of the proceedings.

Cruz's fight with Faber marks the first time he will defend his bantamweight title since the UFC/WEC merger. The two originally met in March of 2007, when Faber defended his WEC featherweight title with a submission victory.

Silva, recovering from knee surgery, hasn't fought since a unanimous decision victory over Michael Bisping in February of 2010. Leben returns after a TKO loss to Brian Stann on New Year's Day. His only previous KO loss came at the hands (and knees) of Anderson Silva in Silva's debut with the UFC in June of 2006.
