I think Faber will likely get another title shot eventually, but it'll be quite some way down the line, and for now it makes sense for the UFC to let him get a few W's under his belt while others have their shot.
Faber should take this nice and easy, and it wouldn't surprise me if he got it done via a guillotine in the first.
