#2 Faber vs. #3 McDonald has been added to UFC on Fox 9

Bantamweight contenders and former title challengers #2 Urijah Faber and #3 Michael McDonald will
square off on December 14th on the UFC on Fox 9 card. The fight will most likely air on the main card. Since losing to current interim title holder #1 Renan Barao, #2 Faber has racked up 3 consecutive wins over Ivan Menjivar, #5 Scott Jorgensen, and Yuri Alcantara. While, #3 McDonald, has recently rebounded from his interim title fight loss to #1 Barao, with the submission win over #6 Brad Pickett. Depending on Dominick Cruz's recovery, the winner of the fight could find themselves back in the title hunt.

NOTE: This fight has been added to the 'UPCOMING FIGHTS' tab. You can see the rest of the top 15 fights already scheduled there too.
