Faber vs. Vaughan Looking Good for UFC 156
Urijah Faber and Lee Vaughan might be squaring off in UFC
156. According to reporting in Tatame Magazine, Urijah Faber could be ready to
go by the time the February even rolls around and that might mean that he and
Vaughan are destined to meet in the ring.
The match would come after Faber lost his last bout at UFC
149 on a decision. That fight ended up going to Renan Barao, giving him the
interim bantamweight title. Vaughan also lost his more recent fight. That fight
was on FUEL during July and Vaughan ended up losing to TJ Dillashaw via
submission.
Both of these fighters would be looking to come back from
their recent losses if they were to meet at UFC 156. UFC 156 is slated for
Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. The event will be held on February 2 and has some
bit names on the ticket.
Faber is regarded as a very good technical fighter, but has
lost some of his most important matches. Nonetheless, in his weight class, he's
considered one of the toughest guys out there and, even though he's had
missteps, remains a force to be reckoned with. Vaughan lost his last fight to
Dillashaw due to a rear-naked choke hold, but could be tough competition for
Faber.
UFC 156 promises to have some good fights on the ticket. The
main bouts featured that night are believed to include:
- Alistair Overeem vs.
Antonio Silva
- Demian Maia vs. Jon Fitch
- Erick Silva vs. Jay Hieron
- Jose Aldo vs. Frankie
Edgar
- Rashad Evans vs. Rogerio
Nogueira
- Urijah Faber vs. Vaughan
Lee
None of these fights are set in stone as of yet, but these
represent what MMA reporting has held to be the biggest fights of the night.
Fans will have to wait until February to find out for sure.
