Although the UFC hasn’t officially relayed its plans for the bantamweight title, the war of words between champion Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber continues to rev up.

Recently Cruz argued that although Faber isn’t deserving of a title shot, he’d be willing to grant his rival one. The comments sparked the following response from Faber.

I Keep hearing articles talking about me. Apparently @domcruz619 thinks something has been gifted in my life. I've had double the amount of fights that dude has in around the same amount of years, i have 5 more finishes than he has total fights, I've been a champion or a top contender for the last 13 years. Last time we fought i put MR. Hard to Hit on his ass multiple times. And the reason he is alive is because there are rules in mma and i was forced to let him live. I have jumped up weight classes and fought future hall of famers at multiple divisions. I take on all comers and don't back out if my body isn't feeling perfect. I can't wait to whoop this dope! @danawhiteufc @lorenzofertitta please gimme a date. Lets get a staff of Drs on hand at Cruz's training and ask his teammates to take it easy. I wanna be the one to break the glass champ….again!! #glasschamp

Faber and Cruz battled for the first time in 2007, under the WEC banner, and the latter lost via submission. They met again in 2012, with the UFC, but this time Cruz won via unanimous decision.
