Renan Barao vs. Urijah Faber Set for UFC 148, Will Fight for Interim Bantamweight Title
By Luke Thomas - Senior Editor

May 18, 2012 - Top bantamweight contender Renan Barao will face Urijah Faber in place of UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz at UFC 148. The announcement was made by UFC President Dana White on Friday's episode of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF): Live on FX.

Cruz tore his ACL in training during filming of this season of The Ultimate Fighter, forcing him to withdraw from his rubber match with rival and fellow coach Faber. There is currently no clear timeline on Cruz's return to professional mixed martial arts competition.

Barao was originally scheduled to face Ivan Menjivar at UFC 148. There is no word yet on who Menjivar will face in Barao's absence. Faber and Barao will fight for the UFC interim bantamweight title.

Good. I root for Barao, I actually think Faber is kinda overrated.

Should be a good fight. I think Fabers experience should help him in this fight. I know Barao has a ton of fights, but even with, he does not have the experience Faber has with big name main event fights.

You would think the UFC will be pulling for Faber to win. Lots of marketing has already gone into the triligy, I cant see them wanting to lose out on this fight... Not that it will influence the outcome.

I was hoping Scott Blevins would get his long over-due title shot vs. Faber.

Hoping Barao wins this, then I hope Dana/Joe Silva/Zuffa & Staff decide to keep Faber where he belongs, Not in Title Fights.

I like the fight but see no need for the title, the winner will face Cruz regardless so why not make it a #1 contender fight. It's not like Faber actually won a contender fight to get his shot anyway.

I'll be hoping for Barao to win.
