It's not too often that the "little" guys get the top billing on a UFC card, but that's the case for Saturday night's UFC 132 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas when the headline fight is a bantamweight championship bout between Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber. The original featured match of UFC 132 was set to be a rematch of B.J. Penn and Jon Fitch, but both were forced to withdraw because of injuries. UFC 132 also will feature headline matchups between Tito Ortiz and Ryan Bader as well as Wanderlei Silva and Chris Leben.

Cruz (17-1) is the champion' but then again so is Faber (25-4); the latter is a former WEC featherweight king. Faber and Cruz have met before, in 2007, with Faber submitting Cruz with a one-armed guillotine choke in just 98 seconds to successfully defend his WEC featherweight title. And while Faber won his next three fights after that, he then lost three times in his next five fights, twice to Mike Thomas Brown and once to Jose Aldo. So he then moved to bantamweight (135 pounds) and has been strong in two fights in the class, beating Takeya Mizugaki by technical submission last November and then outpointing Eddie Wineland in both fighters' UFC debuts in March.

Cruz, meanwhile, only has the one loss to Faber on his resume. He hasn't lost since becoming a bantamweight, winning the WEC title by beating Brian Bowles in March 2010 and defending the belt twice since with victories over Joseph Benavidez in August and Scotty Jorgensen in December. When the WEC was merged into the UFC roster, Cruz became the first-ever UFC bantamweight champ. Now he is regarded as a top pound-for-pound fighter.

These two simply don't like each other. It goes back to a perceived slight before that 2007 bout. Back then Cruz was essentially an unknown fighter and wasn't a part of the marketing materials for the show ? thus he wasn't included on the event poster for WEC 26. And during an autograph session, Cruz laughingly signed his name over Faber?s face. Needless to say Faber then took out his revenge with the first-round victory. The fighters' feud has only grown since and escalated when Faber beat Wineland at UFC 128 and called out Cruz from the octagon.

"I have a hard time being enemies with people," Faber said in a lead-up media call for UFC 132. "Dominick has made it easy; he's got an interesting combo of throwing himself pity parties and feeling sorry for himself, but also giving himself a lot of credit for little things. Can he handle another loss and be cool?"

The line at Bodog on this fight opened with Cruz as the -130 favorite and Faber at even money. However, that line has dropped to -115 on both fighters despite Cruz taking nearly 75 percent of the moneyline action. Cruz is 5-0 in his career as the Bodog favorite, while Faber is 0-1 as an underdog. A little more than 56 percent of parlays are still active on this bout.

The other top fight figures to be between middleweights Silva, the former Pride Fighting Championships titleholder, and Leben, a participant in Season 1 of "The Ultimate Fighter." These two requested a fight and called each other out for nearly a year before UFC officials finally scheduled the co-main event of the UFC 132 card. It's Silva's first fight since February 2010 because of a knee injury.

Of all the main event fights on the card, Silva-Leben is drawing the most even action with Silva getting a slight edge at about 52 percent on the moneyline. He opened at -185 but has been bet up to -200. Leben opened at +155 and is now +160. Approximately 59 percent of parlays are still live on this fight.

After a long, cold offseason the Canadian Football League is back and kicking off the season's premier match up this Thursday will be the BC Lions and 2010 Grey Cup-winning Montreal Alouettes.

Can the fabled Montreal franchise win a third consecutive title in the CFL's 58th campaign? According to Bodog?s online sportsbook, they're amongst the early favorites with 3/1 odds of winning the Grey Cup.

The Lions will have their work cut out for them starting the 2011 season off on the right foot this week after squeezing into the playoffs last fall with an 8-10 mark. They?re futures for the year, however, are an optimistic 11/2.

The Lions will be in pursuit of their first Grey Cup since the 2006 season, but will have to get past the Western Conference favorite Calgary Stampeders who look like the team to beat on the eve of the season.

Though the Als and Leos will usher in the new campaign on Thursday, taking place on Friday and Sunday will be a series of match ups featuring the remainder of the league?s eight teams.

The 11/4 favorite Stamps will host the Toronto Argonauts while Hamilton?s Tiger-Cats welcome Winnipeg's other professional franchise, the Blue Bombers.

Think you know how the year will go down? Weigh in on player props and team futures with Bodog's online sportsbook.

Montreal's Anthony Calvillo is once again the early favorite to lead the league in passing yards while Toronto's Cory Boyd stands the safest bet to come away with the rushing yards crown.
