Following a decision victory over former title holder Mike Brown earlier this month at "UFC 125: Resolution", Diego Nunes is flying high. Though he suffered a rather nasty-swollen eye, he is in good spirits. In his bout with the former WEC featherweight champion, Diego was able to land kicks successfully on the world-ranked fighter, keeping him at bay before following up the action with effective strikes. In the end, he was awarded the decision win, in an unlikely upset for Brown's second inception into the UFC. And like Nunes, Dustin Poirier has been doing a little over achieving of his own, handily defeating former number one contender Josh Grispi in a decision win. ...

Speculation then arose whether or not the Massachusetts native would remain on the card despite the loss of Aldo.

While Josh should be the decided favorite heading into the bout, it's a big risk with little reward. The 22-year-old has risen above the rest in his class to be noticed as the top challenger to Aldo's title, and a loss to Dustin would be a major setback in his career at this point. ...

It's no secret that Joseph Benavidez is one of the WEC's hottest commodities. With his fast-paced style and charismatic demeanor, he's an easy fan favorite, reminiscent of mentor, training partner, and friend Urijah Faber. But, doe's that mean that Benavidez, a challenger to champion Dominick Cruz' title, should earn more then the number one guy in his weight class? ...
