    Game of the day: Ufc 149
    Two top fighters face off tonight for UFC 149 in Canada when Urijah Faber fights Renan Barao for the interim UFC bantamweight belt. Both these fighters know their way around the octagon but, of the two, Faber is the more experienced in big fights, having previously fought the likes of Jose Aldo, Jens Pulver and Dominik Cruz. Barao, on the other hand, is a serious contender and has not been beaten since his MMA debut in 2005, with 29 fights to his credit, a record that will surely make him confident going into this.

    One factor that may well determine this fight is who is better on the ground. Faber has a wrestling and power advantage, but Barao’s skill in ju-jitsu has seen him take 13 victories by submission method. Faber is no stranger to the art, however, and is one up with a record of 14 submission wins, but Barao may have the upper hand through speed and technical proficiency.

    Will Barao extend his winning run to 30 victories? BET ON THS FIGHT AND OTHERS NOW

    I like Faber here most of Barao's career was in Brazil plus he is a strange to 5 rds of tough competion.
    Faber's cardio is awesome if he gets to rd 5 he can do damage

          Does anyone else feel cheated that we have to pay for a PPV that features two bantamweights as the main event? It's like two crack babies squaring off for the manlet championship of the world.

                Watching Faber is like watching peewee football.

                  Might just stream this one as a protest.

                  A women's chmapionship would be a more legit fight, imo.

                  Not fair to charge for this.

                    Fox should have made this one of their broadcasts since the 1st 2 were Boring as hell. This one should be a good fight

                        Faber is the most famous MMA fighter. Barao is a warrior.

                          I doubt that's true. Lidell, Couture, I'm sure there's more.
