Former WEC featherweight champion Urijah Faber (26-5) takes on BJJ black belt Renan Barao (28-1, 1 NC) for the interim UFC bantamweight title Saturday night at UFC 149 in Calgary. With a rubber match against 135 pound champ Dominick Cruz scrapped due to him suffering an injury, Faber will now face Barao, a Nova Uniao fighter who has not lost a match since his pro MMA debut back in 2005. His last fight was a unanimous decision win over Scott Jorgensen in February. This is the “Countdown to UFC 149: Faber vs. Barao”.
