Cruz Tears ACL, Cancels Fight With Faber (http://phytegurus.com/phytegurus-com-exclusive-cruz-tears-acl-cancels-fight-with-faber/)

Phytegurus.com has confirmed with sources close to the event that The Ultimate Fighter Coach Dominic Cruz (19-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) is pulling out of the much anticipated UFC 148 fight with Urijah Faber (26-5 MMA, 2-1 UFC) due to a torn ACL.

It is still unknown if there is or will be a replacement fighter for Faber or if this fight will still maintain the Co-Main Event status.

UFC 148 has become a huge card recently adding UFC Middleweight Champ Anderson Silva’s (31-4 MMA, 14-0 UFC) rematch with Chael Sonnen (27-11-1 MMA, 6-4 UFC).

Not a great source but more confirmations are starting to come in. FrontRowBrian is confirming it on twitter, who actually is a fairly credible source. I'll post a more reliable source as the story comes in or clarify things if this turns out to be false.
