Dominick Cruz injured again, stripped of title. Barao vs Faber at UFC 169

[jacktheknife]

And now we get to cap post-Ludwig Uriah against a 3-week training camp. Hooray.

[marzwoody]

Holy shit. this changes things, barao is just gonna dominate faber again.

[Kermit]

This was the best thing that could have happened to Cruz.

[Mercersux]

Hope Faber wins and we get the Faber-Cruz rubber match for the title. Just rewatched Cruz-Faber 2 and that was a much better match than i remember it being the first time around. In the least i expect a much better showing from Faber against Barao than the first time around.

[Rubber Guard]

Was looking forward to making money off Barao here. Faber is a tough fight in my opinion, even if we already saw Barao win easy.

[Thor4140]

i have to believe Dana instructed Faber to be ready if something happens to Cruz so i doubt he was eating doughnuts sitting on the sidelines.

[kid_mikey_84]

Barao wins an easy decision again.

[Vaughany]

....

[NunyaBidness]

hah, great pic choice.

[marzwoody]

faber is a closer fight than cruz for sure.

Is SBR going to take down the Barao/Cruz line and put up a Barao/Faber line?

My guess it will be something like Barao -550

Ever since Faber went away from his ground game, he has been 50/50 in his fights.
If he tries to stand this fight up, he has no chance.

Where wat the fuk. I think he did pretty well standing with the last few guys he fought especially the last one.

[Thor4140]

never forget on Tuff when Dana was on the other side of that two way mirrored glass and this tool Faber was checking out his muscles.

[Tommy Blingshyne]

no way will barao be -550 vs faber and faber has been on a tear lately, stand up and ground game looking as good as ever

[NunyaBidness]

I predict he'll open around -325, but early money will be on Faber.

Did you see how easily Faber beat Mayday though? Barao had a much tougher time. When you factor in Bang Ludwig and how good Faber has looked in title fights, I 'cap Faber somewhere between -400 and -600.

I like ya pal. I really do. But ........ Oh, Why even bother.

Woosh.

[Beelzebubzy]

He’s slower, but he’s really tough and handles too much punishment standing. He has evolved a lot in this aspect since our last fight, but I’m prepared for anything.-barao

haha yeah douchebag

[Thor4140]

The problem here is Faber needs a finish. At these odds it is gonna be all Faber money. Faber has no shot at a decision once this goes to the judges unless this line starts dropping and soon.

[SportsBettingCS]

Brutal news. Not surprising though
