WEC World Extreme Cagefighting is an American mixed martial arts promotion. It is the sister promotion to the UFC, both owned and produced by ZUFFA, with a focus on lighter weight classes and talent building for the UFC. As with its older and much larger sibling, the WEC uses the same rules as the UFC, but it holds its fights in a smaller octagonal cage.

That was indeed a crazy arse fast fight... didnt see that sub coming from Jens that for sure.
Im hoping to be delightfully surprised that like again.
I dunno how Jens will fare versus Faber... I can see how Faber might frustrate the heck out of Jens with cardio and control until Jens makes a mistake...
OR
I can see Faber trying to stand and trade with Jens and end up flat on his back.

I think a lot of you are missing a simple point. Faber while a talented guy fights like a retard. I mean he rushes at his opponents and doesn't really cover up very well.
Pulver hits very hard especially at 145.
I'm calling a 1st minute KO in this fight not because Faber's not a top 10 LW because he is but he's going to rush in and get sent to a hospital.
Also the Sherdog rankings suck. They don't have Wagnney Fabiano who is better than both of these guys IMHO. I mean right now the top two 145'ers in the world talent wise to me are Fabiano and Kid. Faber gets a lot of hype but he would get wrecked by both of them.

Exactly and at 145 Jens is the more skilled fighter.

1. Rankings don't matter do they? and for all I care BJ Penn is the best fighter in the world!
2. Yes, I saw the Cub v. Pulver fight...not impressed...I honestly think that a trained chimp could tap out Cub. Besides, Cub!?! are u kidding me!?! Where's Cub in the 145 ladder!?! he's like the pile of dirt the ladder was placed on. That's like comparing the fight between Gabe Ruediger and Melvin Guillard!!!
3. At 145 Faber is the more skilled fighter. Hands down. You have an argument? prove me wrong...
4. That's a fight I want to see, Kid is my top pick at 145.
Mahalo.

Wow Wow Wow!! 
Can't wait for this one! Obviously gonna be rooting for Faber all the way. He's incredibly skilled and his conditioning is top notch. I'd definately like to see him really going places after this one.
Don't get me wrong, I love Pulver too, the guy has a dangerous pair of hands especially his left, but I don't think he'll have what it takes to take the Kid anymore.
Yes, Urijah fights recklessly, rushing in with low guard and so on. But, he gives his all in every fight. I believe he mentioned in an interview that he treats his bouts like a life or death situation, which scares me and impresses me at the same time.
Go Faber!

If you come back I will continue this discussion with you but from what I saw I doubt you will be returning, sorry, cuz you looked like a fun guy to "debate" with. |

Finally we're gonna see what Faber's really made of. I predict Pulver to win sometime in the 3rd round.

I kind of have this fight as a toss up in my mind. I want Pulver to win that's why I picked him but it could go so many different ways.
