WECWorld 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.
he sucks, he never beat anybody good except pulver and pulver is way past his prime ( as seen tonight ) FABER IS OVERHYPED AND SUCKS YOU DUMB FANBOY
Are you dumb? I told you I was pulling for Brown and I thought Brown was going to win.
Faber is not overhyped and no, I'm not a Faber fanboy. I actually know MMA.

"When I hear athletes call themselves warriors, it does bother me a little bit. When I think of a warrior, I think of the Marines I've led in combat, those Marines that sacrificed so much...no showers, little food, no contact with their family, all for their love for their brother Marine and for their love for their country. That's a warrior, willing to lay his life on the line. I've had Marines that have laid their lives on the line for the man next to him, and for their family and country. That's a warrior. The guy who goes into some athletic contest who has no war experience, in my eyes, really has no right to call himself that. That's a coveted thing to call someone, and that's what I call my Marines. Those are warriors." - Brian Stann
Faber seemed to play off of his hype. I'm not one to bet upon luck or things that seem to make a person better, but the facts are out.
Uriah was the reason I became interested in WEC. His talented skills and his unrelenting poise kept everyone on their seats. Over-hyped? Maybe. Under skilled? Never.
1 loss, then the second cost him the belt. His split decisions from move to move are on another level, but like anything, too much of the unpredictable can become predictable.
Who would see him coming off the cage with an elbow and get caugh right in the 'button'...
I see him going back to the basics. Know that this is a let down for him, the WEC, and Faber's ever growing fan base...
I watched the fight in a local sport bar and the look of astonishment on everyone's face was a sight to see. Nobody expected it...
If Faber has a true warriors spirit, he'll continue training, touch base with the basics, and come back to become an even greater fighter. Nobody is perfect. Losing is expected. To admit you lost, avoid making excuses for why you lost, and learn from that loss - you'll come back twice as strong.
If he stops throwing blind elbows he would of been alright... but he caught browns fist when he did. it seemed to me that Brown might have had a broken rib or two.

I see a re-match in the next 3-4 months.
welcome to the site, good first post. I also believe there will be a rematch just because its Faber and I wouldn't be surprised if its his next fight lol.
I had a feeling this tko would lead some people say Faber was overrated. Faber was the champ for so long for a reason, tonight just didnt go well, he was caught.
are you guys serious? anyone who says faber is overrated obviously has no knowledge about jack. He wasnt the champ as long as he was for no reason....look at the guys he beat the crap out of. He got a lil cocky and got caught with i would say a lucky timed punch. A lil sooner and brown would have eatin a mouth full of elbow. Hell, look at his face....u could tell he F*&^^ed up and he knew it. He'll get his belt back u can beleive that. On a side note....at least he could walk back to locker room...he messed up brown's ribs real good... Freaking Sherminator American Pie looking punk.
Well Faber will be back soon...but on another note, wth happened to filho tonight? I mean I wanted Sonnen to win but I didn't think the fight would be like that.
