Lil Evil has never been stopped @ 145 if I remember correctly. I still don't know if that will be enough to stuff the takedowns of Faber, but I know that his experience will help a bunch. I really see this fight being tough for Faber. IMO Pulver is going to try and take this to at least the 4th round, and really I think that is the only way that he stands a chance. I mean Pulver is a great fighter and all but I don't think that he is as dangerous as he used to be. So basically this is how I see this fight, Pulver will take the stand up so Urijah will go for a take-down. Upon being taken down I think that Pulver will try to frustrate Faber by moving and trying to slip submissions. From what I remember in all of Faber's previous fights his opponent always looks scared when they are on their back which allows Faber to utilize his ground and pound. I don't believe this to be the case with Pulver, he is fairly dangerous from his back, and he has some great sweeps. So when the final bell rings I have Pulver by kimura in the 4th.
I really don't think Pulver can handle Faber's speed and explosiveness. I'll be dropping some credits on Urijah closer to fight time. Even at 1/2, its a fairly safe bet.
This fight is tough for me, because Pulver has looked awful lately but it may just be because of who he was fighting. He will not be small anymore at 145 and I just dont know. I will probably pick Faber but I wont bet too much on it.
Tough, tough bet.
I want Jens to win badly enough that it mihgt be clouding my judgement. Faber is a bad-ass at 145, he is explosive and creative. Jens, though...he is pretty mean at 145, too.
I chose to bet on Jens.
