UFC 169: Alan Patrick vs. John Makdessi Full Fight Video Highlights

On Saturday, Feb. 1, the UFC hosted UFC 169: Barao vs. Faber from the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.

In the night’s main event, UFC bantamweight champion Renan Barao faced off with former WEC champion Urijah Faber for a second time. Barao entered the cage having not tasted defeat in more than eight years, while Faber was riding a four-fight winning streak of his own. The pair met previously at UFC 149 with the Brazilian Barao claiming the promotion’s interim 135-pound title by unanimous decision. With former champion Dominick Cruz stripped off his title due to a lengthy absence from the Octagon, Barao looked to cement himself as the true champion with another win over the streaking Faber.

The night’s co-main event also featured UFC gold on the line as featherweight kingpin Jose Aldo defended his belt against Ricardo Lamas. Aldo, who also stepped into the cage riding an eight-year unbeaten streak, looked to remain the only fighter to wear the belt at 145 pounds in the UFC as he faced off with the Chicago native Lamas. The 31-year-old Lamas entered the title tilt having won seven of his last eight fights, including four straight in the Octagon.

Also on the main card, former Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem battled former UFC champion Frank Mir, Brazilian flyweight John Lineker faced Russian Ali Bagautinov, and former WEC lightweight champion Jamie Varner met hard-hitting Abel Trujillo.

The 12-fight event kicked off at 6:30 p.m ET with three fights streaming on the promotion’s digital network, Fight Pass. Four additional bouts followed on Fox Sports 1 at 8 p.m. with the five-fight, pay-per-view main card starting at 10 p.m.
