The 21-year old has proven to be a real weapon from

In its latest installment, UFC 169 will take place in Newark, New Jersey with two titles on the line. This is a shot at redemption for Urijah Faber, his chance to win a title fight. Its also a massive proving ground for Jose Aldo, not that he needs it. If Aldo can pick up the victory, he will be at nearly a decade without defeat. He isnt even 27; his talent will only increase over the next few years. There is also a bout in the heavyweight division with Alistair Overeem facing Frank Mir. On paper it sounds like a great matchup but will need a dramatic ending or tense action packed rounds in order for people to be talking about it the next day. Here are the UFC 169 picks from the team at TSN 1290s the “Weigh In”. Jordan Cieciwa, Big Marv and Toby… thats right, just Toby. Catch us on air every Saturday at 11:30am ct/12:30pm et. Renan Barao (31-1-0) vs. Urijah Faber (30-6-0) Jordan Cieciwa Who doesnt love a big title fight? Well if you are Uriah Faber, history says you actually may not. His only losses came at the hands of champions. There are few people in the game as talented as him, especially when it comes to wrestling and the use of unorthodox strikes. Hes shown unbelievable skill with elbows off the cage and spinning back fists. His ability to target is second to none. Thats only gotten better with the addition of Duane ‘Bang Ludwig. Across the cage from him is the very dangerous Renan Barao. Barao came out of obscurity to start dismantling his competition in both the WEC and UFC. He is on nearly a decade long win streak. Ask anyone, except Eddie Wineland, and theyll say he is a submission specialist. He beat Wineland very quickly and with an amazing back kick to start the process. His talent is unquestioned now, and his ability to push the pace will make him hard to beat. So much so that I dont think “The California Kid” can do it. Barao via fourth round submission Big Marv You could make the argument that Urijah Faber was the fighter of the year in 2013. He went 4-0 last year, with only one of his fights going the distance. Even that fight, against Yuri Alcantara, was a dominant decision for Faber. In fact the last time Faber lost was to Renan Barao in 2012. Since then, the California Kid has been more determined than ever. With an incredible improvement in striking thanks to Alpha Males new coach Duane “Bang” Ludwig. However, lets not sleep on the champ. Renan Barao took that interim title with his win over Faber and has staked his claimed as not only the 135lb king, but also in the top five pound-for-pound fighters in the world. It is so hard to pick a winner here. Will Faber choke again in a championship fight situation? I say not this time. Urijah Faber via unanimous decision Toby This one should be an amazing fight! Faber had an outstanding 2013 and will look to finally become a UFC Champion, all that stands in his way is Renan Barao, who has the longest current unbeaten streak in active MMA today (33). This has fight of the night potential and as much as Id like to see “The California Kid” becoming the UFC champ I believe Renan Barao will have his hand raised in this one. Renan Barao via decision Jose Aldo (23-1-0) vs. Ricardo Lamas (13-2-0) JC What were you doing when you were 18? If you were an 18-year-old Jose Aldo, you were suffering your last MMA loss. At 27, Aldo has been on a nearly nine-year win streak. Most of those wins are while holding the UFC featherweight title. He is perhaps one of the sharpest fighters in the game. Fortunately, he isnt talked about all that often because it seems to have kept him hungry. Aldo will probably keep this fight standing and use some amazing leg kicks to slow his opponent down. Though let it be known that Ricardo Lamas is no slouch either. Lamas is on a four-fight win streak of his own and looked great stopping Cub Swanson with a triangle choke and Erik Koch with elbows. The good news for fans, both these athletes stop fights including Aldo who has a 30% decision rate. That to me is fantastic. I think that, in combination with his skill level, will have this fight ending sometime in the fourth round. We will be treated to a lot of leg kicks and some great movement and skill on display. Jose Aldo via fourth round TKO Toby After watching Jose Aldo fight for the past couple of years Ive learned two things, he is without a doubt one of the best pound for pound fighters in MMA and its hard to bet against him. Ricardo Lamas is a real threat but I see Aldo getting his hand raised and us fans being one step closer to an Aldo vs. Pettis super fight. Jose Aldo via TKO BM Jose Aldo is one of those champions that just seems infallible. His striking is fast and vicious, his ground and pound is relentless, he has slick jiu jitsu and is almost impossible to take down. All of that adds up to him being one of the best in the world pound-for-pound. However, his opponent Ricardo Lamas has this crazy habit of winning fights he shouldnt. Sorry Toby, weve got to put the Aldo vs. Pettis super fight on hold, Lamas is taking this one. Ricardo Lamas via TKO round 4. Frank Mir (16-8-0) vs. Alistair Overeem (36-13-0) JC This is one of those fights that really means very little in the heavyweight division, but will be interesting to watch. I have a very bad feeling it will end in the first round with a toe hold, but who knows, Mir might try to show off his “highly average” boxing skills. Lets face it, Alistair Overeem comes into this fight with a bad rap for using drugs (very deserved), and being a one sided fighter. Overeem has no business being in the cage with a jujitsu whiz like Frank Mir. Mir is also not afraid to end a fight with an “uncool” submission. He grabbed Brock Lesnars toe and threatened to break it. The loser of this fight probably wont have much longer in the UFC, and I dont know that its a bad thing. The winner probably wont ever contend for a title, but at least they dont have to retire or go find work somewhere else. Its a simple case of a very impressive K-1 specialist in Overeem, meeting up with a jujitsu guy that will take the submission anyway he can. I expect that Mir will find and exploit the very large weakness that is Overeems ground game. Mir via second round submission. BM Both these guys are desperate for a win. With Overeem, he beat up Bigfoot for two rounds before his cockiness got the best of him. Against Travis Browne, he almost finished him, but Brown proved too tough and Overeem got caught. In Frank Mirs last fight, he was slow and Barnet destroyed him quickly. Against Cormier, he was slow and lost by decision. The difference between the two, Overeem still has it, while it looks like Mir does not. Plus, Mir wont be able to weather the early storm like Silva or Browne. Its going to be an early night for both men. Alistair Overeem via KO round 1 Toby This is a possible “Loser leaves town” fight, with both fighters coming off consecutive losses Mir (3) Overeem (2). Overeem has lost some weight which will help his cardio, I love watching both of these guys fight but in this case I believe Overeems stand-up will be the difference on Saturday. Alistair Overeem via TKO Tom Seaver Jersey . Azarenka needed exactly one hour in a 6-1, 6-0 rout of Austrian Yvonne Meusburger to start the night session at Laver Arena. Sharapova had a much easier time earlier in the day with cooler conditions and took full advantage in 6-1, 7-6 (8-6) win over Frenchwoman Alize Cornet, while Radwanska had to rally for a 5-7, 6-2, 6-2 victory over Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.

With the help of WhoScored.coms stats-based ranking system, we take a look... With the domestic seasons across Europe now well and truly in full swing, there has been enough time to assess the early form of both clubs and players.As with any new campaign its always intriguing to see the next batch of young talent coming through and 2016/17 has been no different. Indeed, there have already been a number of notable performances from the continents top youngsters. With that in mind, WhoScored.com count down their top 10 rated players aged 21 or under from the top leagues (minimum four appearances)...Ramy Bensebaini - WhoScored.com rating 7.30After loan spells with both Lierse in Belgium and Montpellier, Rennes snapped up Algerian defender Bensebaini in the summer and the 21-year old has quickly made a starting spot his own. His versatility has certainly helped to win over manager Christian Gourcuff, fielded at centre-back, left-back and even centre-midfield already this season, winning 31 of 42 aerial duels and averaging 2.3 tackles and 2.6 interceptions per game, the latter of which is a team high.Marcos Llorente - WhoScored.com rating 7.30 Deportivo Alaves Marcos Llorente wrestles with Barcelonas Lionel Messi A solid start to the season in La Liga for promoted Alaves owes much to their effective use of the loan market and Llorente, brought in for the season from Real Madrid, has perhaps been the sides most important player so far. The 21-year old is Alaves highest rated player having shone as the club drew with Atletico before recording a shock victory at Camp Nou, with only two players averaging more tackles per game (5) in Europes top five leagues.Sergej Milinkovic-Savic - WhoScored.com rating 7.32Born in Spain while his father Nikola was playing with lower league outfit UE Lleida, Serbian youth international Milinkovic-Savic is making quite a name for himself in Italy with Lazio. The tall box-to-box midfielder enjoyed a solid debut campaign in Serie A last time out and has made an even stronger start this season. He already has a goal and two assists to his name in the attacking third, while 2.3 tackles and four aerial duels won per game prove that the 21-year old can contribute all over the pitch.Angel Correa - WhoScored.com rating 7.33He may have only started two of six Liga appearances this season but that only makes Atletico forward Correas rating all the more impressive. The 21-year old has proven to be a real weapon from the bench for compatriot Diego Simeone, with two goals - including an equaliser in the 1-1 draw at Camp Nou - and an assist all coming as a substitute. The youngster has fast become a fan favourite, weighing in with a tackle every 37 minutes and utilising his pace and trickery to complete a dribble every 16 - more often than any other player in La Liga to start a game this season.Joshua Kimmich - WhoScored.com rating 7.34Having become something of an experimental pet project of Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich last season, Kimmich has been restored to a more familiar midfield role under Carlo Ancelotti and is really flourishing this season. Having not scored for club or country before September, the versatile 21-year old opened his Mannschaft account this time last month and now cant stop scoring, notching five times for the Bundesliga champions since. Superb in possession, completing 88.2 per cent of his passes in the league, this new found ability to be in the right place at the right time in the box could see Kimmich become one of Europes finest in the years to come.Ousmane Dembele - WhoScored.com rating 7.35 Ousmane Demebele has impressed at Borussia Dortmund Dortmund were quick to jump to the front of a long queue of suitors to snap up Dembele from Rennes this summer. The teenager was a revelation in Ligue 1 last season and has adapted to his new surroundings, as well as the demands of Thomas Tuchel, with consummate ease. With a goal and two assists from five league starts, the 19-year old is already terrorising Bundesliga full-backs, and an average of 3.dddddddddddd8 dribbles per game is enough to lead the way in Germanys top-flight.Benjamin Henrichs - WhoScored.com rating 7.37While featuring in the Leverkusen first team sparingly in 2015/16, its fair to say Henrichs is the player here that has really broke onto the scene this season. He has already matched last seasons tally of five starts in the Bundesliga, with an ability to cover in either full-back role making him a useful asset to Roger Schmidt. The 19-year old fulfils the attacking responsibilities of the modern day full-back but has really stood out defensively, averaging more tackles per game (4.4) than any other Bundesliga player. Sterling’s sensational solo run Adrien Rabiot - WhoScored.com rating 7.45Already emerging as something of a favourite under new Paris Saint-Germain manager Unai Emery, Adrien Rabiot has started six of his seven Ligue 1 appearances for the French champions as his importance to the side continues to grow. The 21-year old seems a natural successor to the ageing Thiago Motta, though his all-round game is far less limited. With 2.4 tackles and 1.6 dribbles per game, as well as an 89.9 per cent pass accuracy, Rabiot is capable of fulfilling a number of roles in the middle of the park and promises to be one of the finest midfielders in the game.

Samu Castillejo - WhoScored.com rating 7.59After a relatively underwhelming debut campaign with Villarreal following a move from Malaga last summer, winger Samu Castillejo is really finding his feet with the Yellow Submarine now. He started just 19 league games last season but has been involved from the off in all seven matches so far, scoring once and providing three assists. His creativity from wide - averaging two key passes per game - is supplemented by an excellent defensive contribution of two tackles and 2.6 interceptions per game to win over new manager Fran Escriba.Raheem Sterling - WhoScored.com rating 7.63 Raheem Sterling controls the ball against Manchester City The fact that Raheem Sterling features in a list of players aged 21 or under will surprise many who forget just how young the winger is, having emerged on the scene at Liverpool as a 17-year old. He is another player that struggled to really make his mark in his debut campaign at a new club last season but is now looking back to his best under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. Four goals, two assists and 3.3 dribbles per game have contributed to the England man earning the highest rating in his age group this season.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the Japan Grand Prix on Sky Sports.
