It’s likely to be the fight that headlines the first ever WEC pay-per-view, and even though former champion Urijah Faber is only days removed from his latest win, he’s already breaking down his next opponent, featherweight champion Jose Aldo.
Watching a DVD of all of Aldo’s 18 fights, Faber believes that he can find a weakness in the game of a fighter who has looked nearly unbeatable in all of his fights in the WEC. The “California Kid” is confident he’ll have the kryptonite to Aldo’s Superman.
“It’s going to be a close fight, but the advantage point for me is first off the speed neutralizing him, and second having an advantage in the grappling, and understanding what his weapons are,” Faber explained when appearing on MMAWeekly Radio last week. “His knees and kicks are going to be one thing, and his hands, but being aware of it is going to make it easier for me.”
