The UFC officially anounced UFC 126 today, headlined by a middleweight title fight between Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort. Four other bouts were made official, including Jon Jones vs. Ryan Bader, Rich Franklin vs. Forrest Griffin, Miguel Torres vs. Antonio Banuelos, and Paul Kelly vs. Sam Stout.
The bantamweights of the WEC will make their UFC debut on Super Bowl weekend, when former 135 lb. champ Miguel Torres, meets Chuck Liddell-teammate, Antonio Banuelos, at UFC 126.
Jose Aldo's first title defense since demolishing former champion Mike Brown at WEC 44 was a surprisingly lopsided success. While many fans felt Faber's speed could be the ultimate x-factor in a showdown with Aldo, Aldo proved that his own speed and range striking tactics were far superior and damaging than anything Faber could muster.
The staff at BloodyElbow.com give their predictions for the first ever World Extreme Cagefighting event: Jose Aldo vs. Urijah Faber.
