I don't care for either option at all. Faber should be rematching (and quite possibly losing to) Rivera, not getting a title shot after his eye-poke win. And Barao looked sluggish as hell against Gagnon and there is reason to doubt he'd even make it to fight night.
Almost anything would be preferable to those two possibilities. Have a top 125 lb fighter move up, a good 145er drop down, sign Moares or Bibi and give them the shot, hell give Johnny Eduardo the fight, or Alcantara if he beats Saenz. Any of those fights would be far more interesting to me than Faber or Barao at this point in time.
Well they did say they have other plans for Faber a rematch with Rivera might be it. I don't want to see Renan against Dillashaw again though I agree he didn't look that great against Gagnon. I think these weight cuts might be getting harder cause he's getting older I don't know.
