I was looking at Assuncao's record and completely forgot that Faber beat him once upon a time. Because Cruz kept Faber from getting the belt at 135, Faber will always be overlooked and never get the credit he deserves despite him being one of the greatest lighter weight fighters of all time.

Moraes is the cream of the crop currently at BW and is probably the uncrowned champ.

Do you see any scenario where Faber beats Moraes? Does he get finished via brutality or does he put up a good fight?

Moraes can do the same thing Aldo did to Faber if he wanted to. He hasn't shown it as much in the UFC so far but he has some brutal leg kicks. He grew up with Edson Barboza and had the same Muay Thai coach as a kid and his kicks are similar albeit maybe a little less powerful due to Barboza being a bigger guy.
