| Despite opening exactly opposite initially the odds are slightly in Cruz favor at -130 while Faber is a +120 dog. I think a lot of people are questioning what is left in Faber's gas tank at this point and believe Cruz may have the style and speed to beat him in the rematch at this stage in their careers. I am not as sure. Ring rust, Faber's speed and strength, and Cruz's takedown D will be the deciding factors but I pick the California Kid to win the first official UFC Bantamweight title bout actually held in the UFC proper. If Cruz wins, it is a hard fought decision victory. If Faber wins, he likely ends the fight with a choke or GnP before the distance. | |

| Faber via rear naked choke in the 3rd round. I think this is going to be all Faber...but thats just me. | |

| I think this is Cruz's time to shine. I will be rooting for Faber but I think Cruz gets it done by hard fought decision. He will definitely know he is in a fight but he will find a way to get the biggest win in his career. | |

| Still would've said Urijah a few months back but I'm going Cruz by decision. Think he has the movement and speed to outlast Faber at this point | |

| Leaning Cruz, like B said his speed and footwork should keep Faber guessing, and look at the guys he's been beating, is Faber going to bring something that much better? I just don't know, only thing that worries me is the layoff and hands issues.
Cruz decision as of now | |
