A knee injury to Ultimate Fighting
Championship bantamweight kingpin Dominick Cruz set in motion the
events that led to an interim title bout between Urijah Faber and
Renan “Barao” Pegado in the UFC 149 headliner on Saturday at the
Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Faber has recorded three wins in his
past four outings. The 33-year-old Team Alpha Male founder last
appeared at UFC 139 in November, when he submitted Brian Bowles with
a second-round guillotine choke. A former WEC champion at 145 pounds,
Faber wrestled collegiately at the University of California at Davis.
In 31 professional appearances, he has never been submitted. Faber
views “Barao” as a different kind of threat than the man he was
originally booked to meet....
Jason Dent: Picking and pulling for
Faber. To be honest, I’m not that familiar with Renan just yet. I
have to believe Faber has fought the tougher competition, though.
