Disagree totally. Farage has everything to lose. Headline writers and political opponents will be CREAMING themselves at the prospect of Farage making a pratfall. Which with Brand running rings round him both verbally and intellectually is extremely likely to happen. Best option for Farage is to get stuck in traffic.
As much as I'd love to see that happen, I bet a penny to a pound it won't. Part of the reason his opponents haven't been able to deal with Farage is he's a far more canny operater than they give him credit for.
Remember most of the UKIP reading press think Brand is the devil incarnate. I don't think a story running in the Mirror, Guardian or Independent about Brand making mincemeat out of him would make a shred of difference.
So in synopsis, I think Farage will hold his own and even if he doesn't it won't really matter. The Mail and Express aren't going to be converted to Brand's cause as a result of this evening.
Enjoy it for the spectacle it will be but don't place importance on it.
