Who says Dominick Cruz doesn’t have a sense of humor? The UFC bantamweight champion and his Alliance teammates created a video to mock Urijah Faber during that awkward moment in TUF where no one wanted to step up and face his top pick Justin Lawrence.

His teammates Lloyd Irvin, Ross Pearson, Mike Easton, Jeremy Stephens, Wilson Reis, Tyson Griffin and other guys from Alliance all make their cameos on the video as well.

If you want context, here’s how the original scenario played out on the 2nd episode of The Ultimate Fighter:

But the fun didn’t end there. Post-fight, Dominick Cruz pulled the bizarre move of letting Faber choose who would fight Justin Lawrence next. And no one stepped up. Seeing Lawrence standing tall while Team Faber sat with their heads down was amazing. With Faber and his team struck mute, Cruz went right for the money fight – Lawrence vs. Cristiano Marcello.
