Faber stepping up with only 3 weeks, drawing slim to dead?

Faber seems to lack the killer instinct in some of his title fights, however, Barao cracked his rib with a kick or knee in the first round of their first fight, which set the pace for the rest of the fight. I always back Faber, and I won't stop now.

Also the team Alpha Male guys have looked great since adding Duane Ludwig.

Faber smashing McDonald in the striking was really impressive. Especially considering how well McDonald did in the stand up with Barao.

Skip to 2:17:30 of the video.

----------

It's unclear how many guys she was banging at Pablo Popovitch's BJJ school in South Florida. We're pretty sure she was banging Pablo at the very least.

Thiago is currently fired from the UFC and Dana White said Thiago will never return. Thiago is being held in jail with no bond, but the charges of murder were dropped, so that's kinda good.
