MTB for the win. Once Aldo moves up to LW if that does indeed happen sooner rather than later as I suspect, MTB might win the title again. I could see MTB holding the title and defending it from reigning BW champion in a PPV superfight rematch of their first two.


Faber wins the FW title, avenging the losses to Brown, becoming the first man to ever own two titles in different UFC weight classes.

Heard it here first.

Brown is kind of a headcase and is getting up there in age. Always a possibility depending on when Aldo moves up, but I don't see him ever holding the belt again. Especially if the UFC can get their hands on some 145 talent

Unless Manny exposed a chin problem he is just too strong and well rounded for most other FW's. He looked slow compared to some but he still has good speed, one shot power, good wrestling and good subs.

even if aldo goes up to lw faber will never be the bw champ as long as brown is in the division. only way brown loses to anyone in the division is if he doesnt comes in mentally like in the manny fight.

I am fully confident that Urijah Faber would beat him in a third fight.

MTB is still talented enough to win the Title, if and only if Aldo leaves the division.

On Faber holding two belts, it's possible, I'd say Faber/MTB III would be 50/50, not like MTB wasn't getting Faber down in their second fight, he could easily win again, just as Faber could win.

Watch out for an in flow of talent and a guy like Grispi

Aldo moves to LW and the UFC signs Sandro who becomes FW champ. I'd like to see something like that

Being as how MTB is now 2-0 vs faber, it's hard to argue against the fluke nature of the first 2 fights, but Faber was caught in the first fight(it happens we all know) and broke BOTH hands fairly early in the 2nd fight which, even despite the broken hands was fairly competitive.
