I'm sorry guys, I respect Pulver's hands, but I'm gonna have to go with Faber on this one. He's got the better wrestling, Jiu Jitsu, and conditioning...overall Pulver's just not in the same class as Faber.
If u look at Faber, he looks like he could fight 155 and own , but like all smart fighters, he cuts down a weight class to bring down his striking power and his strength.
Now if Jens was a little bit younger, he should cut down to 135, he looks like he can, and i think at 135, he'd dominate.
My result:
Faber by submission. period.

I disagree.
Faber is at 145 because he knows he would get smoked at 155.
The 155 talent pool is deep.
By staying at 145 he secures himself a belt and some recognition.
(At 155 Sherk would completely out work him, BJ would sub him, Gomi would KO him, Aoki would 'plat him, JZ would basically own him... not to mention Nate, Clay, Huerta, Melendez...)
I think you underestimate Jens... the guy has fought alot of tough guys in the lw division... and dropping down to fw will make him seriously dangerous. Pulvers past bouts are a list of serious lw contenders, if not champions... that cant be said for Faber.
I give Faber credit for staying in shallow waters, but Jens is about to give him a lesson in the deep end.
