I think he'd have put Brown away late if he didn't break both of his hands. This will be a great fight for Faber, look for him to win impressively. I agree Makington.

I still believe him to be a legit p4p contender even though he suffered 2 very unfortunate defeats to Mike Brown, who is also tough as hell. I guess I'm one of the few, ad I'm sure I'll get quite a few thumbs downs for this, but I thought he was on his way to winning his rematch against Brown before he destroyed his hand. He was finding a home for it all round before his most efficient weapon was taken away. Like Rich said, I don't think it will be an easy fight for him by any means, but I think he is just a little do good in every area to lose. I’ve never picked against Urijah and I won’t start now.

They're practically the same fighter. They both throw hard bombs on the feet and they're both pretty dominant on the ground.. Of course, Faber is a little bit better at both of those areas so I'll still pick him to win.. But I think it will be a hard fought decision.. Great fight..

I have respect for him as a fighter, but Urijahs going to be hungrier than ever, even more of an incredibly tough opponent than usual. I would love to see Urijah fight for the belt again, he really showed his spirit the way he continued to fight his heart out against Brown in their rematch despite severe fractures and injuries to his hands. Can't wait for the fight, if assuncao comes hungry and smart, it'll be a good one! Whew, I wouldn’t want to be Assuncao in this fight.
