Does Pulver have any real chance to win over Faber???


I don't think so unless faber runs into a haymaker early....


jens has damned good hands and I seriously doubt he plans on going to the mat with faber !

I'm surprised there is not much interest in this fight by the resident MMA "experts"...

I'm looking forward to the fight for sure, but I think Faber will win and probably convincingly.  I will be very surprised if Pulver wins.  Faber dominates that WEC.  He is really a cut above the other fighters in that organization.

Far from being an expert. This is a very intriguing fight. To date Fabers toughest opponent has been Tyson Griffen and he lost. I think Pulver is going to be a real test for Faber. We will get a chance to see if he can start to hang with soem higher level competition.

Faber runs a frentic pace, Pulver has the left handed chance, but once it hits the mat, I see the youth of Urijah grinding on Jens.  Faber by late round ref stoppage from bleeding.

Jens is gonna be a hard guy to bully around at 145, and his punching power was sick at 155lbs so if a left finds Urijah's chin it's nighty night.  Urijah's explosive, i'll give him that much, but I want to see him lose.  I'm goin with lil evil.

I say little evil. My head tells me Faber, but my heart say Lil Evil. I am going to have to say Pulver by kimorah.. You heard it.. I am going out on a limb.. I just hope to see Jens take this one, he is a great fighter and has some heavy hands for a guy at 155 and lower. Faber has great wrestling (as everyone has mentioned) yet for some reason I think hope Jens will grind this one out.

I just hope it's a good fight and it goes awhile because there's really no other matchups @ wec 145 I really want to see so hopefully there will be a rematch....


I think the fact I wanna see a rematch before the fight even starts speaks volumes for the dept of talent(or interest I have) in the wec

 ;)

Of course he has a chance, everyone has a chance in a fight.  If Jens keeps this fight on the feet he will win easily.  This fight depends on the sprawl my friend.

I would love to see Jens win.  This would set up some bigger fights in the WEC.  Urijah has been talking about superfights at 155, I don't think this would be good for him.  A rematch would be great for the WEC.

Geo hate to tell you this but those 4 shots didn't cause what happened to Jens front of his face.

oh I know....

I've had Faber up their with Fedor as my top 2 guys P4P for the last year or so,it was just interesting to see him get away with 4 or 5 hammer shot to the back of jen's mellon and the commentators never mentioned a thing about it
