Did the Stars Come out at UFC 169?
With 2014 just beginning, the UFC is without many of its top draws and UFC 169 didn’t actually help in that matter.
With 2014 just beginning, the UFC is without many of its top draws and UFC 169 didn’t actually help in that matter.
A record-setting night of decisions had the Jersey crowd more surly than usual, but there was still plenty of quality action across the UFC 169 PPV. Belts were defended, former champions were defeated, and there was plenty of fistic fury to go around.
This weekend is a sports fan dream, Saturday Night you have UFC 169 from Newark, New Jersey and Sunday is the Super Bowl from East Rutherford, New Jersey. Typical the UFC holds a PPV event the night before the Big Game takes place but to have them both in the same state is a first.
We’ve got a hell of a card in Jersey this weekend, with two titles on the line and division-shaping bouts across the board at UFC 169. With Dominick Cruz on the injured list yet again, Barao is given his rightful title, but must defend it against short notice foe Urijah Faber. It’s a different fight than what he expected, but with a win over Faber in their first showdown, it’s up to Faber to find a new way to deal with the current champ. Jose Aldo will also be on the UFC 169 card to defend his strap after a series of opponent changes, taking on Ricardo Lamas in a potent battle.
