Faber's early injury to his right hand substantially limited his stand up. Injuries are part of the game, but I was hoping the two of them would be able to fight at 100% to a decisive win for one or the other.

Brown is just the better man, period. Leonard Garcia probably thought MTB got lucky against Faber too… then he got pummeled to the ground and put to sleep by an arm triangle.

I agree that Brown was getting the better of the clinching in the first fight and it made Faber a little desperate. I think Faber will know what he's getting into this time and play toward what is his biggest advantage: his speed. I could see this one going the distance with Faber outpointing him, by landing shots and staying away from Brown's power as much as possible. There will undoubtedly be some clinching and the fight may go to the ground many times. Faber is great in scrambling situations. He's also added some muscle since the last fight, he may be marginally stronger this time around. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Brown wins again, but think this one could be more of a war, and would give Faber at least an even chance of pulling out the W.

He basically hurt himself finishing Faber off, so if Faber hadn't exposed himself the ribs would never have been injured. I too love to watch Faber but can't see him pulling this out.

I too love to watch Faber but can’t see him pulling this out. Matchups make fights as they say…

Anyway, I'm looking forward to an exciting fight.
