[Furious George]

Why?

He convincingly lost the first fight and looked like shit against Gagnon.

 

[Degen Gambler]

Not 100% sure but aren't Faber and Dillashaw on the same team?

 

[ARONAbeetFEDOR]

Barao is gonna get slaughtered worse this time if true.

 

[CountOfSoCal]

The Barao/Gagnon fight has got to be one of the weakest performances to ever get a title shot over.

Shields over Kampmann

Why?

Because Cruz and Assuncao are hurt. Who else should it be?

 

[SimonNova]

Why?

He convincingly lost the first fight and looked like shit against Gagnon.

You ask why Barao gets the next shot? Well Im gonna go out on a limb and say that Cruz and Assuncao being injured might have something to do with it.

And Barao is more deserving of the shot for his win over Gagnon than Faber's over Rivera guys. Not even close.

 

[nyduccie]

Faber? hahaha

 

[Dart Feld]

I'd rather MM/Dillashaw.

Shields over Kampmann

To be fair, Shields already had the title shot locked after beating Hendo. Kampmann was just initiation.

 

[ArtOfDrowning]

Time Is Now....for rematches that nobody wants

 

[Kirin]

Why?

He convincingly lost the first fight and looked like shit against Gagnon.

At least he didn't have to gouge his opponent's eye to win

 

[ScarfaceJr]

Barao needs another fight tbh. His performance against Gagnon doesn't show there will be a difference from the first fight.

Give the ts to Faber, should be funny to watch.

 

[Furious George]

Because Cruz and Assuncao are hurt. Who else should it be?

So when a contender isn't ready we just hand it to somebody who clearly isn't ready/worthy?

They'll be surprised this sells like 130k PPV's even though the outcome is predictable and nobody wants to see it

 

[FootstompShonie]

UFC has just become rematch central. Hey news flash no one wanted to see this shit again the first time it was scheuled!

 

[Furious George]

At least he didn't have to gouge his opponent's eye to win

Who gouged eyes?

 

[Clippys Mom]

Finally, Faber gets a shot at the strap.

 

[OliverAtom]

Faber vs TJ should be fun if they're willing to fight each other.

 

[Das Werm]

Who gouged eyes?

Faber
