One of the more uninspiring title fights in UFC history will take place on Saturday night, when Urijah Faber and Renan Barao clash for the interim bantamweight title.
It might be the lacklustre card, the recent flurry of UFC activity, the relative obscurity of the UFC’s 135-pound class or the reality that the interim champ is still not the champ, but this one doesn’t make many people’s Spider Sense tingle.
Even so, the fight is an important one and will shape the division for much of the next year as the world waits for the return of rightful bantamweight kingpin Dominick Cruz.
Many people have questions about the fight, and many of those questions center around the prodigious talents of Barao.
