You guys must think Faber cant take Jens down. I have to disagree.

I'll be rooting for Jens, but I think Faber takes this one via brutal GnP.

Lil' Evil via violent standing TKO.

Jens has pretty good td defense, standing it's not even close Jens is easily the better striker.On the ground Faber has the advantage but Jens is such a tough guy and so experienced I see him hanging on to get it stood up and when it's on the feet whoa smile kid cause your going to sleep

PanKrato

Yeah.
I don't really know too much about Faber, I've only seen him in last night's event.
So I want Jens to win, and if the old Jens is back, I definitely see him putting up a very good fight.

Faber's biggest skill is that he is never stops attacking. Well sooner or later he's going to walk into a punch. Jens has so much power at 145 (or used to) He's real dangerous and I think he would catch Faber and ruin the Faber vs Kid match up.

Errr...isn't that exactly what our little buddy Cub was gonna do? "I'm gonna kill him" is the exact quote. And before ya'll start...no I don't think that Cub is on the same playing field as Uriah of course. My point is that Cub was supposed to be able to take him down and GnP him as well.

However, tell me ONE person that was looking for Jens to slap that anaconda on Cub the moment he went for the shoot and take down? Look at the (short) fight again...check out the balance and strength that Jens showed in stuffing the take down attempt and then slapping on the submission. I know I wasn't expecting it.

Jens is every bit good enough to beat Uriah Faber. And don't take me wrong...Faber looked just pretty damned amazing last night (see my other post). He was inventing crap on the fly. But the cat got taken into the second round and nearly to the third (which was new ground for him).

Jens Pulver is where he NEEDS to be....at 145. He is every bit the beast that Faber is. There is a reason he is called "Lil Evil". And he is just funny as shit. You gotta love the dude.

I take Jens by KO in the 2nd even though I'd love to see Jens take Uriah out into the deep water and see how he fares in the 4th or 5th round of a fight. Jens has been there.

I have seen Pulver vs Cub, and I believe it was a good showing of Lil Evil's TDD and I sure as hell was not expecting an anaconda choke, but as you said, Cub and Faber are on two different levels. Faber's explosiveness and power will put Pulver in a bad position when they fight. On the ground, I think Pulver has zero chance. Curran couldn't do anything and he had Faber's back for a good 2-3minutes, and he's a Gracie BJJ blackbelt!

I still believe Faber will be able to take down Pulver and GnP him, unless Pulver's TDD proves enough to keep him off the ground where he's able to work his magic. Still thinking Faber by GnP, probably 2nd round.

Not at all (at least for me). I just think Jens can get back to his feet.

Points well taken. However, I also believe that Jens posseses unusual power at 145 as well. I too was really impressed with just how calm freakin' Uriah looked the whole time he was in that body triangle. Don't get me wrong...I think that Jens has all he could ever possibly handle with Faber but I still think Lil Evil wins this one by knockout in the second.

Jens has always (well...nearly always) been a very focused type of fighter. And he has (as he stated) only one thing on his mind...winning the belt at 145. I just believe in the guy. We'll see. And it should be a barn burner either way.
