Thomas Gerbasi, UFC – The months of anticipation are almost over, the seemingly endless breakdowns and arguments about to fade into the background as the opening bell for Saturday’s highly-anticipated featherweight championship bout between Jose Aldo and Urijah Faber gets ready to toll.

Frank Curreri, UFC – Arco Arena will be jam-packed tonight for the Jose Aldo-Urijah Faber featherweight world title bout. If the Brazilian champ is lucky, maybe a decimal of those 15,000 frenzied fans will be pulling for him.

Frank Curreri, UFC – By the end of the third round, one of Urijah Faber’s cornermen carried the battered fighter to a stool. The hometown superstar could barely stand on his left leg, the unfortunate recipient of dozens of devastating kicks from former semi-pro soccer player Jose Aldo. The world featherweight champion from Brazil, who hasn’t lost in over four years, had ravaged his charismatic and courageous challenger with wicked kicks to the ribs and legs, and also repeatedly pounded The California Kid’s body with hard punches.

Frank Curreri, UFC – Urijah Faber must be sick of hearing about it.
“It” is a certain logic called MMA math, and it goes something like this: Jose Aldo annihilated Mike Brown for the world featherweight title. And Mike Brown twice defeated Urijah Faber.

Frank Curreri, UFC – Rag-dolling opponents and bullying them with brute force has been the M.O. for both Mike Brown and Manny Gamburyan, so something will have to give Saturday when the former featherweight world champion collides with the lightweight finalist from season 5 of The Ultimate Fighter.

Las Vegas, NV (USA) – The UFC® today announced it is teaming up with Findlay Customs and Modern Muscle Las Vegas to release 10 Limited Edition UFC Chevrolet Camaros. The very first car, “#1″ will be auctioned to benefit the Intrepid Fallen Heroes fund, a charity dedicated to providing financial support for the dependents of United States military personnel lost in performance of their duty.

Frank Curreri, UFC – He departed the cage, not entirely on his own power, but walking gingerly and having to lean on his trainers for support. Once backstage, an exhausted Benson Henderson was whisked away on a gurney, loaded into an ambulance and he would spend the night in a local hospital. IV tubes extended from his arms to a machine that nourished him to cure his severe dehydration. Trainers sat at the 26-year-old’s bedside, offering encouragement, knowing the immediate physical misery of their star pupil would eventually yield to a lasting glory.

Frank Curreri, UFC – In the mold of extraordinary fighters like Arturo Gatti and “Minotauro” Nogueira, Donald Cerrone has a knack for playing the role of human punching bag in a way that is equal parts mesmerizing, unbelievable and unforgettable. Yet when opponents hurt Cerrone, crazy as it sounds, he seems to have them exactly where he wants them. Time and again the lanky lightweight has been overwhelmed and embattled inside of the cage, particularly in rounds one and two, but he always storms back and transforms into a Cain Velasquez type of terminator who relentlessly stalks winded opponents and pushes them to the brink.

CAUTION: SPOILERS INCLUDED – It’s a doubleheader on this week’s episode of The Ultimate Fighter: Team Liddell vs Team Ortiz, so two fighters will move forward in the competition, while two more will be forced to the sidelines to hope for a wild card berth.
