This Saturday night (June 4, 2016), a rivalry dating back nearly a decade will finally be settled in the co-main event of UFC 199 from The Forum in Inglewood, California, when bitter rivals Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber will face off in a trilogy match for Cruz’s bantamweight title.

On March 24, 2007, “The California Kid” choked out “The Dominator” in the first round of their co-main event bout at WEC 26, defending his featherweight title in the process. Four years later, Cruz would get his revenge on Faber, scoring a unanimous decision win in the rematch at UFC 132 in July 2011, successfully defending his bantamweight strap.

Let’s take a look at five crucial keys to victory for Urijah Faber in this highly-anticipated rubber match.
