Cody Garbrandt recently made a prediction for Urijah Faber’s career. In an interview on Submission Radio, Garbrandt said that he thinks Faber will retire if he beats Dominick Cruz for the UFC Bantamweight Championship.

“If Urijah would be the champion I think he would beat Cruz in the next fight. We talked about it before, he’ll go out as champion, retire, you know? Like, Urijah has done so much for the sport and been a world champion, he’s been the featherweight king at the WEC – and people seem to forget Urijah ruled that era for a very long time, fought some of the best fighters,” Garbrandt said. “What else would he have to prove? You win the title and go out, storybook ending. Boom, done… I mean, what else does he do? You beat Cruz, who just beat T.J. for the title. Yeah we talked about it, we talked about it. His fight with Cruz is a storybook ending. He’s had his career, being champion and then fighting back, losing the title, coming back, dropping a weight class, losing a close fight to the champion, another title fight, losing these close title fights and then coming back and then winning the last fight to win the title. That’s the story book ending.”

Faber is coming off a win over Frankie Saenz in December at UFC 194.
