Dana White reveals the winner of the Urijah Faber vs. Brian Bowles fight will get the next shot at the bantamweight title

UFC President, Dana White has tonight revealed that the UFC 139 clash between former WEC champions, Urijah Faber and Brian Bowles will determine the next challenger to the UFC bantamweight title (after Demetrious Johnson of course).
Dana spoke to ESPN saying:
“Both Urijah and Bowles lost to Cruz. The winner of their fight will earn a rematch. Johnson is 9-1, on a four-fight win streak and beat former [bantamweight] champ [Miguel] Torres in his last fight.”
Faber is the last man to challenge Dominick Cruz for his 135 pound title, losing out via unanimous decision at UFC 132 earlier this month. Cruz defeated Bowles for the WEC version of the title, with Bowles withdrawing midway through the fight after suffering a broken hand.
