    What do you guys think? I saw Pulver interviewed on WEC and he didn't seem too confident, well he didn't point out what he thought were any holes in Fabers game. I understand Pulver doesn't want to give up his own game plan but it just seemed he was at a loss as far as finding anything Faber was not good at.

    I have not watched either fighter in a very long time so I would like your guys insight.

    I'll be pulling hard for Pulver like I always do, but this will be a tough fight for him. Especially if it goes to the ground. I think he's a little bigger, so he might have some decent reach on Faber, but damn, Faber just seems to have so much energy.

    Isn't Pulver somewhat heavy handed?

    I'll be pulling for Pulver just cause i think he'll be a huge underdog on this one.

    Very check out his videos on youtube he has many fights on there and alot of them finishes them with brutal overhand or straight lefts.

    On the matchup at hand ive been dreaming of this fight since Pulver orginally said he wanted to go back to 145. Pulver im picking to win I think his takedown defense is pretty strong and he wont be the smaller man at 145 like he has been at 145 he could stop Fabers takedown and outbox him. Pulvers got great boxing just his chin stinks.

    I'm pulling for Pulver, too, but I just don't see how he can win. He's got to land a big, heavy, lucky shot to Faber's jaw, but the chances of that are slim. Faber's a wily little fighter and has more tools in the toolbox. Pulver's got his work cut out for him, but I like a good underdog. I also like how he handled his last loss to BJ Penn. I got on the bandwagon after that.

    I'd love to see Pulver win, but I think Faber is gonna take it.
