@Wizard agreed, Barao has consistency, has dominated top comp in his last two fights, and should be exciting to watch vs anyone. imo there is Cruz, Barao and Faber, then every other bantamweight, and I want to see Cruz face Barao

I've always been a big fan of Faber, but I think Barao is just too dominant. Barao by decision. Even if Faber wins, I can't see him finishing this fight.

In Faber's last win over Bowles, he looked really impressive, and he's always been a great fighter, but...

Barao has looked so dominant in all of his wins in the UFC and I think he will ultimately put Faber out.

Prediction: wrong Faber   wrong Submission   wrong Round 3  

Im going out on a limb saying Faber should finish this fight. Im thinking one of two ways, the way he beat Bibi by elbows in full guard or he rocks Barao like he did Bowles and gets the submission. Faber has more ways to finish this fight imo..

Big fan of both, really want to see Barao succeed, he could be a force. I tend to think Faber may be overwhelmed somehow, but does anyone else have an eerie feeling that Faber's gonna land a shot and just KO Barao hard, exposing his weak chin or something weird like that? idk, just me, I guess...still goin w/ Barao

I could see either fighter with cruz be an interesting fight... with that said I think barao deserves a shot a little more than faber who has had like 60 title shots, but that's just all in my fantasy everything has to be fair world, in reality the best man wins and goes on to fight cruz.

I hope Barao wins this fight. Barao might never fought somebody like Faber but he sure deserves this fight after 5-0 under Zuffa.
I dont think Faber is getting another chance for the title any day soon if he loses to Barao. 
by the way this fight reminds me of Aldo vs Mendes

Barao is def game but i think faber will will be to much from the wrestling to the striking.

I think Barao is ok if he gets taken down by Faber. Barao has a lot of wins via submission and I seriously doubt Urijah wants to test his ground game. This fight will take place on the feet which in my opinion Faber gets beat up for 5 rounds.

a one round fight wouldn't be fight of the year...

Cruz wouldn't be able to last against Aldo, why the **** would Barao? Aldo is the best fighter on the planet right now, the dude would destroy everyone in lightweight AND featherweight and I don't even think it'll be hard for him. Him and Frankie Edgar could literally switch places.

@AnikM although I think they'd last vs Aldo for a few rounds, if it went five Aldo would get a dominant UD. I do agree Aldo is the arguable p4p king, we need to see more of him, and against top, top guys, not criticizing Koch but Aldo is at that legendary level.
Who knows, though Barao has yet to be finished and is well-rounded, he could rise to Aldo's level no doubt, one of the best things about the sport is seeing a fighter progress

not criticizing Koch? You SHOULD criticize Koch, that dude's acting like as if he earned a title shot when everyone knows that shot should be Korean Zombie's and no one else's.

And who knows about Barao...all I know is that he won't beat Dominick Cruz.

That's true, it is Jung's title shot for sure, and Koch just beat Brookins but even before that Jung beat Garcia and Hominick, I hate when the guy who should have it gets cut out
