This article will soon display the Urijah Faber Vs Eddie Wineland Odds. Sadly, they haven’t been released yet but they will soon be available so you can bet on Urijah Faber Vs Eddie Wineland.
Urijah ‘The California Kid’ Faber – 5ft 6”, 135lbs – was raised in Isla Vista, California and currently trains out of Sacramento, California representing Team Alpha Male. Faber is a former WEC Featherweight Champion and this will be his second fight at Bantamweight since dropping down a weight class in 2010. Faber is an extremely exciting fighter who holds a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and is well versed in Wrestling and Kickboxing.
‘The California Kid’ holds an overall MMA record of 24 – 4 and this match up will be his debut in the UFC. Faber holds impressive wins over Joe Pearson, Jens Pulver, Raphael Assuncao, Takeya Mizugaki and current UFC Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz. Faber is a very rounded fighter comfortable on the ground or in the stand up and has more or less even wins with both submissions and TKO/KO’s to his name. Faber is looking to capture the UFC Bantamweight title in the near future and is hoping to use his UFC 128 opponent as a stepping stone to that title shot.
Eddie Wineland – 5ft 7”, 135lbs – fights out of Chesterton, Indiana and represents New Breed. Wineland was the first ever WEC Bantamweight Champion and was also the Total Fight Challenge Bantamweight Champion in 2008. Wineland is a well rounded fighter who uses his wrestling and boxing background to great effect.
Wineland holds an overall MMA record of 18 – 6 – 1 and this will be his UFC debut. Wineland holds victories over Manny Tapia, George Roop, Will Campuzano, Antonio Banuelos (whom he defeated to become the first ever WEC Bantamweight Champion) and in his last fight beat Ken Stone via a vicious slam that earned him the KO of the night award at WEC 53. Wineland is a very strong Bantamweight fighter with excellent grappling skills and devastating punching power.
Urijah Faber Vs Eddie Wineland Prediction
A great introduction to the UFC Bantamweight division for both fighters which should prove to be highly entertaining and explosive from the offset. Both fighters are highly effective in their respective offences, with both being extremely active in their respective styles. I feel that Faber will try to keep the fight standing for the beginning of the fight and try and pick Wineland off with the jab until he get close enough to utilise his Clinch and land with some knees to the body to slow his opponent down then either look for the KO or take it to the ground and look for the submission victory. Wineland on the other hand will probably look to power his way through Faber and look for the big takedown and just try to neutralise Faber on the ground whilst uses his heavy hands to snatch the TKO. In my opinion I feel that Faber’s strategy will work better and he will wear Wineland down and gain the victory via submission in the 3rd round.
