Prediction: correct Faber   correct Decision  

Faber wins by submission I think his last two fights he has been really turning up the heat and I'm hoping he can do it again.

Come fight time I imagine Yuri will be a pretty pick underdog (atleast on Tapology anyway), I think he's one of the most under-appreciated fighters in the UFC right now. He is talented as all hell and has a real shot to win this thing. Happy he's finally getting a bit of recognition.

Great fight, i think Faber will take this one but Alcantara is a really tough fight for him i think that if this one lasts long, which i think it will, then it would be my pick for FOTN.

Faber only loses in title fights, Yuri is definitely a legit opponent though.

This is one of those fights where Faber will be pressured but he'll dominate the fight in the later rounds, might even rebreak his hand lmao. I got him winning though.

Alcantara is a beast, but Faber is an all time great for a reason.  Unless it's against Cruz or Barao, it's probably not smart to pick against him.

Prediction: correct Faber   wrong Submission   wrong Round 2  

I just think that Urijah will find a way to win plain and simple. Whether it is by KO, Sub or Dec, he will win this fight. I think that his name brings great promotion to the FS1 network. He is by far no doubt the biggest star of the UFC below 155 pounds.

If Dias can take Alcantara down a couple times, i can't imagine why Urijah can't. Late sub or UD for Faber

Torn on this, Faber may be able to outwrestle him, he's definitely a better wrestler than Hacran but that fight was at FW and Hacran is a fairly large FW at that. Idk I just got a hunch on this one, can see it going either way.

If it was closer of a % i might go Faber...but the fact that Yuri is only getting 8% i gotta go with him, he's much better than people are giving him credit for.

It's not that people aren't giving Yuri credit it's that Faber is just that good.

^Bingo. Alcantara isn't going to outwrestle him and Faber's never been subb'd.

how do you go from Iliarde Santos to Faber, no disrespect to Santos or Alcantara but Faber is on a whole other level. he should have no problem defeating Yuri. I think Menjivar would have been a better match for Yuri

Guys , you seem to forget Davis vs Machida happens. Don't discredit Yuri that much, stuff can happen.

I'm rooting for Alcantara, cause I like shake'ups in divisions
