It appears as though Dominick Cruz's luck is changing for the better.
Cruz, who once again became undisputed UFC bantamweight champion on Sunday following a split decision victory over T.J. Dillashaw, was told by his doctor earlier this week that he has a minor tear in his left plantar fascia. He will not require surgery and should be back to 100 percent healthy in four-to-six weeks following a brief stint in rehab.
That brings us to who the new champion wants next.
Cruz, who was somewhat hesitant to commit to a third fight against long-time rivalUrijah Faber following the win, told MMAFighting.com on Thursday that he's now all in on the trilogy.
"For the past four years, the only name I've been asked about is Faber," Cruz wrote via text message, "whether I'm on the FOX desk or shopping at the mall. Let's get him out of my face and out of the way, so I can continue to clean out the division.
"We owe it to the fans to make this trilogy happen. It's been almost a decade in the making."
