Default WEC: Pulver v Faber

Both of these guys are really f'king impressive, and have a ton of respect for one another. Was watching a WEC match last night and all they did was talk up the other guy, but in the end said they're going out to win. Who do you guys think take the win?

Personally I think the California Kid FTW.

I think Faber is too strong/well conditioned for Jens & better in the grappling department. He has a good chin too and Jens has been getting knocked out.

Who I'm really looking forward to is Alexandre Pequeno Nogueira joining the WEC in the same weight class. He's been the Shooto champ for something like 6 or 7 years and is badass - a much bigger threat to Faber in my opinion.

Hmm...I'll have to youtube viedos of Nogueria this weekend....

Personally (I haven't watched MMA all that long) but Faber is one of my favorite fighters.

IMO Faber takes out pretty much anyone at 145.

Faber's got my vote

Here's the link for the story where he fights 10-12 Balinese bouncers, the main story starts at 1:55.

YouTube - urijah faber

It was a great fight. Good event all around. Much better than that other sorry excuse for an MMA org that made a mockery of the sport this weekend.

Just watched the Faber/Pulver fight today - excellent! Haven't seen the other fights on that card yet, but that one fight alone was more than enough.

Kimbo = exposed

Yeah was excellent fight - as was the Torres Maeda fight - very entertaining.

the Torres fight was awesome.

Faber's was good too, he's soooo damn fast.
