For fans of mixed martial arts, this past week has been a slow crawl of steadily rising anticipation for tonight's "Cruz vs. Faber" event, going down at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
UFC 132 will feature the very first bantamweight title fight in company history as titleholder Dominick Cruz puts his 135-pound strap on the line against arch rival Urijah Faber.
Also on the card, middleweight marauders Wanderlei Silva and Chris Leben will go to war while Tito Ortiz will attempt to avoid a forced retirement when he hits the mat with Ryan Bader.
It's been a flurry of non-stop news, analysis, quotes, predictions and previews for the past week and it's certainly understandable if you missed out on a few stories.
