UFC 149 has been injury plagued from the outset, but it is now just around the corner with 11 fights scheduled.
The main event of the evening will determine who is the UFC’s Interim Bantamweight Champion. Former WEC Featherweight champion Urijah Faber will square off against Nova União’s Renan Barao.
The co-main event could feature the next exciting opponent for Anderson Silva. Hector Lombard will make his UFC debut against the always tough Tim Boetsch in middleweight action. An impressive performance by Lombard could send him to the front of the line for the next shot at the title.
The other main card fights should offer plenty of action. In the heavyweight division Cheick Kongo will face-off with Shawn Jordan. In welterweight action, Brian Ebersole will battle James Head, and Matt Riddle will thrown down with the lone Canadian on the main card, Chris Clements.
Here are the previews, odds and predictions for the UFC 149 main card.
