    This is less than a week away, knuckleheads! :rant :ibutt

    Choi-Canseco gets a two-pager, but nothing on this? :nut

    Also, I don't know anything about Lil Evil's bounceback opponent Josh Grispi, but he seems to have a pretty good record by MMA standards.

    Should be a great fight. In the last one there were fireworks and I expect Brown to pull it out again. I hope he does to. I like him, he's a little beast and I don't like Faber personally. Both can strike and both have power so should be very entertaining.

    I'm not too sure about Jens though. I don't know about this Grispi fella but if Jens doesn't win or look good then I think it's time he thought about hangin 'em up. He has won one in his last 6 fights. But I'll have to wait till after this fight before saying definitely retire.

    Jens will probably get knocked out again. Poor him.

    I think Brown will take this around. Faber cant outmuscled him. And he need to be more carefull, his two losses in career are the result of stupidity he did.

    If I remember right, the odds for their first fight was around -500 for Faber, and +400 for Brown. This fight has Faber in the -125 range, and Brown in the +105 range.

    qw makes a good point that Faber's two losses are pretty much a result of doing something stupid. One would hope he doesn't make the same mistake here, and fights a smarter fight with more focus. Knowing Faber will not be looking anywhere past Mike, and he's as fit as anyone, it's hard not to lean in that direction - especially the longer the fight goes. Brown is a beast though, so if he won convincingly again, it wouldn't surprise me very much. Tough fight to call for sure, but I'm highly looking forward to it - which I can't say about the majority of MMA fights

    Nothing on this because it is irrelevant. It's another zuffa event, with overhyped zuffa fighters.

    Title fight my ass. I'd be laughing myself silly if it weren't so disturbing that people think this fight is relevant.

    Im going with Brown hes just so strong and powerful. Urijahs best chance though is to do what he did early in that fight and let his strikes go from different angles because hes so fast it gave Brown trouble. That said is margin for error is very small in this fight. I hope Faber wins though so we get the WECs first big trilogy. As far as Jens Pulvers goes I love the guy and hope he can pull one more decent win off I think he can he did defeat Cub Swanson who was inexperienced agianst big time fighters much like Josh Grispi is. Speaking of Cub he will be the first to seriously test the highly touted Jose Aldo I cant wait for that fight as well. Best WEC card ever IMO.

    Should be a good. Looking forward to it. Definitely think Faber will be alot smarter this time around. But Mike Brown is real tough, im leaning towards Brown but I do think it will be alot more competitive this time around.

    I'm torn on this fight. Faber should be able to outhustle Brown to win a UD - but Brown is so fundamentally solid that one mistake could lead to another heartbreaking loss for Faber.

    When I see Faber doing things like throwing out pitches at ball games and such when he should be focused on training - I have to question his commitment. Is he committed to being a fighter or would he rather be the Face of the WEC?

    I don't think Faber can outhustle Brown seriously. I don't think no one can outhustle Brown in that division.
