Who do you guys got?

I'm taking Faber and I have not a clue why Barao is the favorite for this fight. Watching the Pickett fight right now and what I see similar between Pickett and Faber is the over hand right. Pickett was landing some good shots within the first min but was also taking some bad damage in the striking. Faber has way better head movement then Pickett and Faber is really good at moving in with his head eye to eye with his opponent and then moving to the side or staying low. Keeping to low could be a problem in this fight because Barao does like to bring the knee up high. Tough fight to call.

Striking: Giving Barao a slight edge in the striking do to the leg kicks that he uses. With the hands though I would say its about even. Even

Wrestling: Faber has the better TDs and TDD. Faber

Cage Control: Barao was getting control by Pickett and seems to move to the left switch is Fabers power hands. Faber comes forward and just keeps on coming. Faber

BJJ: Even, both guys have great ground games and both are always looking for the submission. Even

Thoughts on the fight???

I've definitely noticed it (the most notable example being against Jorgensen), and that's part of the reason I'm picking Faber by late sub.

Faber also said at the press conference today that Barao looked really drained so. Could be a tough cut.

The man has a ballsack where his chin is supposed to be. I'd take anything he says with a grain of salt.

Dude's a finisher. Not a fan, but my wife loves him. He doesn't lay n pray, and he's actually one of the few "wrestlers" who constantly looks to finish. Hell, he basically murdered Mizugaki in the WEC. Seriously, I thought Takeya was either dead or brain dead. He was able to get a really fun fight out of Dominick Cruz, which isn't easy to do.

As far as the fight goes, I think Renan will beat him. Both guys lose to McDonald.

Barao of course, he has Jens Pulvers smile
