Re: Faber Cruz III 4th of July weekend
Who is Jeff Houghland? It seems kind of weird that they'd matchup Barao with a guy I've never heard of after a win over Jorgenson. Has anyone seen this guy fight before?

Cung Le and Rich Franklin should be a fun fight, I really like both guys. I'm kind of surprised Rich is taking a another fight back at middleweight though.

Bisping vs. Boetsch is an interesting matchup. I guess it makes sense to give Tim another solid contender after his crazy win over Okami. A victory over Bisping would be pretty huge for him, but I don't see it happening.

He fought once in the UFC last July beating Donny Walker. Safe to say I don't even remember the fight. My guess is they are just keeping Barao fresh to get the next title shot.

It's a possible win for the UFC if he looks impressive on the same card as Cruz/Faber. Then you have your next title challenger all lined up.

Re: UFC 148 -Faber Cruz III - July 7
Barao is a killer. I'm assuming they want him to win impressively and then maybe come out to the winner of the Cruz-Faber fight in the cage.
