I disagree sir!
Faber has both better wrestling and better BJJ. Granted Jens is the better striker, but look at what happened to him against J-Lau, KO is right! Not submission...but KO! which means by J-Lau punching Jens in the face. The reason for that: Lauzon's strategy...and i'm guessing Faber's gonna do the same thing.
But back to the point! Faber has better jits and wrestling than Pulver hands down! Majority of Faber's wins: submission. Faber came into MMA as primarily a wrestler, and evolved into the fighter he is today. Wait a couple of years, Faber's gonna be the next mini BJ. Wo knows... |
Just too much speculation about just how 'good' Faber really is.
IMHO, Jens underestimated JLau... who knew about this guy?
The guy took everyone by surprise, Jens included. Im not taking anything away from J-Lau, but Jens was working from zero info about the guy and prolly thought it was a gimme bout.
Just how do you arrive at that conclusion about having better jits? I simply dont think there is enough data to jump to that...
its not that I think the sheer numbers are meaningless... but it would carry more weight had there been a couple more known/reputable fighters in there.
If Jens fought a 100 crappy dudes and won by KO for all of them I would say the same thing...
'Faber is a well decorated NCAA class wrestler'... thats exactly what everyone was saying about Kos VS GSP... and we all know that turned out...
suffice it to say, I give more props to fighting tough guys and losing versus fighting so-so fighters and winning... especially if its won pretty same way every time.
Lemme put it this way, there wont be any surprises from Faber for this bout, it will be more of the same.
I think the tag for the bout should be:
'lil Sherk VS lil Evil'
