The WEC bantamweight title is on the line at tonight's WEC 50.

These are just five of more than a dozen great fights coming up next month. This is truly the golden age of mixed martial arts. Which fight are you looking forward to the most in August? Let us know in our official Bloody Elbow poll.

The idea that's developed in the camp of the majority opinion is that Faber could drop down to bantamweight and challenge any number of top 135 pounders in a run for a title shot against current champion Dominick Cruz. After all, Faber handed Cruz his only professional loss back at WEC 26 in an one-sided affair that saw Cruz tap from a guillotine choke at 1:38 of the first round.

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.

Weigh-ins for Saturday night's WEC 48: Aldo vs. Faber go down at 7pm ET / 4pm PT from Sacramento's ARCO Arena. Join Bloody Elbow to see how the champions and challengers for tomorrow's bouts stack up.
