Writers Pick Faber vs. Brown II - Versus

Sergio Non, USA Today: It will be a much tougher, longer fight this time, but Brown has the tactical acumen to get past Faber's whirling dervish style and the strength to keep him grounded.

Dave Camarillo Believes Machida Represents New Era - FIGHT!

"I don’t believe Lyoto’s UFC title was a great accomplishment for Machida as much as it was a great accomplishment for the Ultimate Fighting Championships, its fans and fellow Martial Artists! It is truly the Machida Era of MMA. It is truly the era of The Martial Artist! And I bow!"

RASHAD EVANS RECEIVES THE BIG WAKE-UP CALL - MMA WEEKLY

"I felt, weeks before the fight even happened, like I was losing, but there was nothing I could do about it," he said. "There was times I would storm out of practice, upset, getting my ass kicked in practice. There was nothing I could do about it. I would go to sleep; I would be just so depressed about it because I felt like I was falling and there was nothing I could do."

Brown, Round 2, Submission. 1st round will be a feeling out process, but once Urijah gets tagged few times he’s going to try and take it to the ground. I think Brown has the advantage there.
