Prediction: wrong Menjivar   wrong Decision  

This is tough one for me I am thinking Faber for a decision, but Menjivar certainly has the pontential for an upset.

Prediction: correct Faber   wrong Decision  

Faber is the third best bantamweight in the world, however Menjivar is extremely tough and hard to finish. I think he'll  be able to survive the relentless onslaught of Faber but will lose a pretty one sided decision.

Menjivar's style will make this fight interesting but I don't see him winning. Faber is in a weird spot right now cause he can beat everyone in his division except for the title holder.

Prediction: correct Faber   wrong Decision  

I think there are 3 guys at Bantamweight that would give Faber a REAL test. 

Renan Barao
Michael McDonald
Dominick Cruz

In my opinion, unless his name is next to one of those 3 then its easy money on Faber.

Prediction: correct Faber   wrong Decision  

If Barao beats Cruz and Faber beats Menjivar, Faber would have a hard time getting a title shot in the near future because they just fought and Barao outclassed him. 

If Cruz wins, then Faber has a chance because their last fight was pretty close and Faber does boast a finish over Cruz. Even thought it was at a different weight class, it still holds water.

Prediction: correct Faber   correct Submission   wrong Round 2  

Yeah, he is in a really weird place
we dont know if he could beat macdonald although i dont think he could
but since he probably will not be able to break the top 3 ever again, maybe he can become an extremely high level gatekeeper or something of that sort??
he is just in a really weird spot

I like the guy and he is in a difficult position. Maybe he'll go back up to FW if things don't go his way in the coming months.

@Die and @Cal

No **** Faber already lost to Barao and Cruz. My point was that those 2 (along with McDonald) are the only guys in the BW division that I could see beating Faber.
