How They Got Here: After losing to champion Dominick Cruz at UFC 132 Faber got back into the win column with an impressive submission win over fellow former WEC champion Brian Bowles at UFC 139. Barao is riding one of the most impressive winning streaks in MMA which currently stands at 29 in a row. He most recently defeated Scott Jorgensen by decision at UFC 143 which pushed his Zuffa record to 5-0.
My Prediction: Barao by TKO 3rd Round

How They Got Here: This fight strangely enough was originally Thiago Alves vs Yoshihiro Akiyama. Siyar Bahadurzada replaced an injured Akiyama and Clements then replaced an injured Alves. Finally and most recently Riddle replaced an injured Bahadurzada to get this fight to where we are today. Clements is on a 5 fight win streak while coming off his split decision win (and UFC debut) against Keith Wisniewski at UFC 145. Riddle is also coming off a split decision win his coming over Henry Martinez at UFC 143, which snapped a 2 fight skid.
My Prediction: Riddle by Decision
