All that said, I wouldn't want to be Anthony Morrison for one minute on Saturday night.

The idea of facing an angry, eager-to-return Mike Brown fresh off losing his WEC Featherweight title isn't exactly an enjoyable Saturday night.

His loss to Jose Aldo was the first in four years for the American Top Team front desk clerk, and the fact that he approached Reed Harris to get on this card should signal to everyone that the blue-collar Brown will be looking to remind everyone why he was very recently considered the best 145-pound fighter in the world.

Urijah Faber (22-3-0) vs. Raphael Assuncao (14-1-0)

"The California Kid" makes his long-awaited return, and in his backyard nonetheless.

Despite having lost two of his last three fights, and only faced two opponents in the last two years, Faber is still the biggest draw and biggest name in the WEC, though Jose Aldo is poised to eclipse him in 2010.

While Faber is certainly the favorite heading into this bout, does he deserve to be? Not to disrespect the former champ - or Jens Pulver - but he's 2-2 over the last two years and both wins came over a fighter (Pulver) many have written off for dead.

Saturday night, Raphael Assuncao will be standing across from him and the Atlanta-based Brazilian is no joke.

The lone loss of his career came to well-respected veteran Jeff Curran and was more than three years ago. Since then, Assuncao has six-straight wins, including back-to-back decision victories in the WEC.

As recently as October, Assuncao showed he has the gas tank to go 15 minutes with a quick and dynamic striker, outpointing Yves Jabouin. Meanwhile, Faber has been on the shelf since June and no matter what the leader of Team Alpha Male says, there is no replacement for being in the cage in a real fight.

Jamie "C-4" Varner (16-2-0) vs. Ben "Smooth" Henderson (10-1-0)

Two men enter with belts and only one will walk out wearing the unified WEC Lightweight strap.

After a full year out of action, Varner returns, finally healthy and ready to defend the title he's held since defeating "Razor" Rob McCullough in February 2008.

The Arizona Combat Sports product is a gritty, hard-working competitor who uses a wrestling base to set up his game. Though more of his victories have come by way of submission, Varner had been on a TKO tear before the Cerrone fight, stopping three-straight opponents with strikes.

All said said, stepping into the cage after a year off to face Ben Henderson is a tall order.

A two-time former NAIA All-American wrestler, Henderson has an endless supply of energy, as witnessed in his Fight of the Year with Donald Cerrone, and enters this fight running as hot as a fighter can, having earned nine-straight wins.

Amongst those victories are stoppages against rising star Anthony Njokuani, standout wrestler Shane Roller and the split decision win over Cerrone that earned him the Interim Lightweight title.

While Varner has been resting and recuperating, Henderson earned three victories in 2009 and should be considered the favorite heading into Saturday Night's Main Event...
