It’s possible that Faber, having lost three of his last five fights, could drop to bantamweight. He has noted many times that he could make 135 pounds with little problem. He wrestled at a lower weight at UC Davis and he’s naturally small for the 145-pound class. Faber fought the past several years at featherweight because, at first, there was no bantamweight class. Once there was, he was already featherweight champion and beating everyone in his path.
For Aldo, his most likely next opponent will be Manvel Gamburyan (13-5), who knocked out former champion Mike Brown with a right to the jaw in 2:22 on Saturday. Gamburyan, the former star of The Ultimate Fighter reality show, would go in as a heavy underdog, but so would anyone else who steps into the cage with Aldo right now.
