After receiving a great response from posting free fights for UFC 148 combatants, the UFC is at it again! So far, the official UFC channel on YouTube has uploaded some of the best fights of UFC 149 main-event fighters Urijah Faber and Renan Barao.
The Barao selection is a little lighter than you might like, but he still only has a few fights under the Zuffa banner.
Let’s enjoy some of the best fights from the two men battling for the UFC Interim Bantamweight Championship.

Dana White doesn’t worry about where the money for his next mortgage payment is going to come.
In the same sense, he doesn’t worry about whether Rich Franklin is going to put on a show, or whether Chael Sonnen will bother to promote his fights. Some things you can bank on.
However, there are some things that must keep the UFC brass up at night. Some concerns are too real and too possible to overlook.
With injuries to top stars, terrible referees, terrible judges and many more issues staring them in the face, life for the Zuffa owners isn’t as stress-free as you might think.
Here is a glance at 10 big issues that are facing the UFC for the rest of 2012.

Have you had enough MMA action in that last week? Neither have we! Saturday night, a pair of world-title fights will take place under the Strikeforce banner, along with some other key matchups in the UFC’s sister organization.
In the night’s main event, two criminally underrated middleweights Luke Rockhold and Tim Kennedy will battle for the Strikeforce Middleweight Championship. Rockhold will look to defend his championship for the second time, while Kennedy is hoping to do better in his second bid for glory.
The co-main event of the evening features a welterweight-championship bout between undefeated standout Tyron Woodley and former UFC contender Nate Marquardt. This will be Marquardt’s first fight at 170 pounds, although the lack of star power in Strikeforce suggests that he is the most worthy challenger for the vacant championship.
Also on the card is a matchup between Robbie Lawler and Lorenz Larkin. By pitting two heavy-handed strikers against each other, Showtime viewers are sure to see a big knockout.
Keith Jardine returns to action in search for his first win in a major organization since a 2008 split decision against Brandon Vera. He takes on newly middleweight Roger Gracie.
This time around, we highlight the predictions of B/R Featured Columnists Dwight Wakabayashi, Mark Pare, John Heinis and Andrew Saunders.
Here are the B/R Staff Predictions for Strikeforce: Rockhold vs Kennedy.

The UFC’s middleweight division has been turned on its head in the past week. Top contenders Chael Sonnen and Mark Munoz both found themselves on the wrong end of a second-round stoppage, and Chris Weidman has officially moved from prospect to title contender.
Last night’s UFC on Fuel 4 event solidified Weidman’s status as one of the top dogs in the division when he thoroughly dominated Mark Munoz in both the grappling and striking departments of the fight. After a vicious counter-elbow sent The Filipino Wrecking Machine to the canvas, Weidman pounced on his fallen prey with 16 unanswered shots for the victory.
How does this shake up the rankings? Let’s take a look!

Make no mistake about it; Dong Hyun Kim is an extraordinary athlete whose judo has carried him a long way. Prior to his battle with Maia, Kim had lost only one of eight fights inside the Octagon, which includes matchups with Nate Diaz and Matt Brown.
Despite Maia’s incredible jiu-jitsu prowess, Kim was favored by oddsmakers 2:1. Perhaps it had something to do with Maia’s recent tendency to engage in slugfests instead of harnessing the tools that got him his world title shot in the first place.
Last weekend, the Brazilian elected to forego the standup entirely, as he clinched with the judo player and immediately secured his back. The struggle was brief, and Maia slammed his opponent to the canvas where an injury caused a quick finish.
It appears that the dangerous Brazilian has realized that by trying to prove to the world that he is not a one-dimensional fighter, he is no longer posing the imminent threat that he once did. Now that he has returned to his bread and butter, he is a dangerous foe for anyone. But how does he stack up in the UFC’s welterweight division?
With a wrestling-centric division that includes a handful of one dimensional grinders like Jon Fitch, Mike Pierce and Aaron Simpson, Maia’s brilliant jiu-jitsu might just be the kryptonite to their Superman.
By taking down a renowned judo player like Kim, Maia showed us how much his takedown skills have improved. If Maia is now able to work fights to the ground by simply securing a clinch, he is a big threat to the strikers of the division like Martin Kampmann and Thiago Alves so long as he can enter without getting knocked out.
The heavy-handed wrestlers like Johny Hendricks, Josh Koscheck and Jake Ellenberger have the best chance of beating Maia. Their wrestling defense can keep the bout standing, and they are likely to do big damage in the standup battle.
If Maia continues to develop his footwork, head movement and combinations, he will be a threat to everyone in the division. As of right now, he is a fighter who we should keep our eyes on. Until he can get his hands on a Fitch, Alves or Koscheck, we won’t fully understand what he is capable of.

Last night, headliner Mark Munoz saw his hopes of a shot at UFC champion Anderson Silva cut at the knees by white-hot prospect Chris Weidman. The NCAA champion was overwhelmed by Weidman, and finished in the second round after a gorgeous counter-elbow sent him to the canvas where he would eat approximately 16 unanswered shots to the head.
Munoz has never been manhandled like that, and he has cage time with longtime veterans Yushin Okami, Chris Leben and Demian Maia. In fact, not even wrestler Aaron Simpson had the wrestling necessary to control The Filipino Wrecking Machine the way that Weidman did last night.
While Munoz found himself on the wrong side of a physical rinsing, it’s hardly the last that we will see of him. With impressive wrestling and even better ground and pound, the Kings MMA fighter will continue to be a handful for most opponents.
Here is a look at four fights that Munoz should consider to get him back on track.
