Two of the top bantamweights in the world will meet in one of the most intriguing bouts of 2011, as Urijah Faber takes on Brian Bowles. This verbally agreed to clash of former WEC champions will take place at UFC 139 in November.
“Before a possible trilogy can be considered between Urijah Faber and his rival, Champion Dominick Cruz, he will take on one of the division’s truly elite fighters, former Bantamweight Champion Brian Bowles," said UFC President Dana White. "A win over Faber would be massive for Bowles’ bid to challenge for the belt that was once his. The stakes are high and the fight will be intense.

Wow Great f---ing fight. This better/ should be but i know it wont the co main event. Faber has a big enough name and Bowles in arguably the #2 BW in the world with his only loss coming to Cruz via broken hand. I would take Bowles all day but i think that his hand is like glass now and will probably shatter against Urijahs *** chin. UFC putting out stacked card after stacked card. I dont care if its just JDS vs Cain and Bowles vs Faber so far. Worth 50 bucks IMO

Hmmmm... Didn't Bowles just win and Faber just lose.
Fight sucks if you ask me. Hope Bowles knocks Urijah out, as he doesn't deserve this fight let alone another freakin' title shot.

Fight sucks cuz one is off a loss and the other is off a win? Who else should Bowles fight?? The only other logical choice would have been Johnson but he is obviously getting his title shot.
Maybe sit and wait to see if Benavidez wins?

they both break both of their hands in the first round and both only use front kicks for the rest of the fight making the rest of the fight look like two chickens in a pen clawing at each other.
lolz lolz lolz knocks on wood

Either that or bring in Mayday.
Faber just got a title shot, and according to other Junkies, he should have to go above and beyond to deserve another shot. But we all know if he should happen to beat Bowles, which I don't think he will, we will be seeing a rubber match. At least Benavidez lost a split decision. Faber has had three title shots already in a little more than two years. Yes this fight SUCKS!
NNNoooOOOOOOOOoooooooOoo!!!!
Dammit Bowles is gonna beat Faber. When the hell are they gonna make Torres vs Faber?? s---!! That should have been the fight made!

Wins over Edwin Figueroa and a close, close decision over Chris Cariaso gives him Bowles/Faber?
I think Mayday vs. Mizugaki (that might be too much) or Mayday vs. Menjivar/Pace winner is a good fight. Gotta remember, kid's not even 21 yet. He's got a long way to go, so let's not rush him.

I agree, but then that leaves Bowles vs Jorgensen, a fight that would be confined to a Facebook stream.
