Faber wants interim title fight; should it be vs. McDonald?

With bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz out after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament on “The Ultimate Fighter”, the UFC is left to figure out what to do July 7 at UFC 148, when Cruz and Urijah Faber were supposed to settle their long standing rivalry.
 
Faber knows what he wants, though, and wasted little time declaring it in a video he posted Monday on his Twitter account hours after the news broke of Cruz’s injury.
 
“I’m thinking an interim title fight,” Faber said. “(Dominick) has been out almost a year-and-a-half now; once this surgery goes through it’s going to be another nine months. I’m hoping for a top contender. Renan Barao, in my opinion, is next up, with Michael McDonald after that and Ivan Menjivar after that. I’m just waiting to see. I know as much as you guys do, but I’m ready to scrap on July 7. And, as far as I’m concerned, that’s when it’s going down.”

UFC rankings: Jones passes GSP but isn’t quite on Silva’s level

By Simon Samano

UFC president Dana White was asked after Jon Jones defeated Rashad Evans over the weekend if he felt the light heavyweight champion had overtaken Anderson Silva as the pound-for-pound best.

White didn’t think so, and neither do I. However, with Georges St-Pierre still on the shelf, and considering all Jones has accomplished in his brief career, Jones has passed GSP for No. 2 on my initial pound-for-pound UFC rankings.

Here’s the breakdown:

1. Anderson Silva, 31-4, middle weight champion
No surprise the “Spider” is the top dog, right? I mean, the guy has wiped out his division, not to mention embarrassed Forrest Griffin at light heavyweight a few years back. Silva’s long-awaited rematch July 7 with Chael Sonnen, who dominated the better part of their fight in 2010 before submitting, needs to take place standing up. If it goes to the ground, Silva’s reign as No. 1 could end.
