After watching two major upsets go down at “Strikeforce: Nashville” last Saturday, gamblers have been itching for a look at where their next big MMA payday will come from. Thankfully, “WEC 48: Aldo vs. Faber” jumps off tonight to allow gambleholics to get their fix.
Reigning WEC poster boy and former featherweight champ Urijah Faber will look to reclaim his title against current 145-pound king Jose Aldo in the night’s featured contest.
Faber owns a ridiculous 23-3 professional record, however the charismatic superstar has dropped two of his last four contests. Both losses came in championship bouts against Mike Brown.
Aldo, who holds an impressive 16-1 pro mark, has been tagged by many as a younger and longer version of Faber. The Brazilian captured the belt last November at WEC 44 when he earned a vicious 2ndRound TKO over Brown.
