The UFC makes its way to The Philippines for a featherweight super fight! The main event sees former UFC Lightweight champion #2 Frankie ‘The Answer’ Edgar takes on former WEC champion (#3 Bantamweight) Urijah ‘The California Kid’ Faber. Join us on The Roar from 12am (AEST) for live coverage and round-by-round updates.
Since his razor-close decision loss to Jose Aldo (25-1) in his fight for the featherweight title, Frankie Edgar (17-4-1) has been on a tear in the UFC.
Coming off three-straight dominant victories, including a fight of the night performance against Charles Oliveira (19-4, 1NC) followed by the finishes of BJ Penn (16-10-2) and Cub Swanson (21-7), Edgar is one win away from another shot at the featherweight belt.
Edgar is one of the best wrestlers in the featherweight division, and arguably the boxer in the UFC. The Answer will be looking to stop Faber and assert himself as a number-one contender.
Coming off two straight submission victories, Urijah Faber will be moving up to featherweight for the first time since his WEC days, and earn the biggest victory of his career.
Eight of the California Kid’s last ten wins have come via submissions, most recently against Alex Caceres (10-7, 1NC) and Francisco Rivera (10-4, 1NC).
Faber is driven by his dream of winning a UFC championship. A win against Frankie Edgar would put him in prime position for a shot at either the bantamweight or featherweight title.
Prediction
Both men come into this bout with a similar skill set, expect a close fight that will go the distance.
Frankie Edgar via unanimous decision.
