“UFC 169: Barao vs. Faber II” goes down this Saturday inside Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Or Sunday if the NFL decides to move Super Bowl XLVIII to Saturday because of weather issues.
Don’t get your feathers all ruffled, the day change is simply the UFC’s Plan-B should the worst-case scenario comes to fruition, which it won’t.
Anyway, the pay-per-view broadcast features a pair of title tilts. Now-outright bantamweight champion Renan Barao defends his title against Urijah Faber (both pictured) in the show’s featured attraction.
Reigning featherweight king Jose Aldo puts his strap on the line against Ricardo Lamas in the co-main event.
