Chad Mendes used to say Faber hit most of his takedowns in the scramble rather than just doing straight single/double leg approaches, so I think Faber would use his speed and agility to try clinch and frustrate McDonald while out working him into the later rounds. Since Faber's conditioning is freaking insane, he would wait to slow down McDonald and eventually submit him. McDonald would have to take away Faber's speed, probably via Jose Aldo method and look for his chance to land with those iron hands of his. Faber would honestly be a strongest test of his skills in my opinion than Cruz. Be nice to see them go at it in the future.
