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

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.
