Knee injuries to UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz has put the 135-pound world title on hold for nearly two years. After 8 months with a sidelined titleholder, the UFC elected to crown an interim champion. Renan Barao and Urijah Faber fought for the interim bantamweight championship at UFC 149 on July 21, 2012. Barao defeated Faber that night to capture the interim belt, and defended it on Feb.
