    I remember a few month back , some fans used to compare Faber to the likes of Kid & Fedor...some were even saying that he was > P4P "ze best"...

    I guess this puts things back in perspective a bit...

    http://www.sherdog.com/news/articles/brown-upsets-faber-for-wec-featherweight-title-15051

    Don't get me wrong though...I think Faber is defintily an exciting fighter (and a talented one too)...

    ps: now i actually remmeber once making comparisons to this guy and Yamamoto too..But i always thought that Yamamoto was a whole different specimen..

    to be honest...these knds of things happen to everyone (well almost)..
    It even once happened to fedor..(huge punch out of nowhere vs Fujita).. only difference fedor generally manages to save his ass in the worst case scenarios..

    But maybe that's a bad example...Because Brown's punch wasn't out of nowhere , unlike fujita..he didn't have his back turned to his opponent...the roles are reversed here..Faber was the one who had his back turned..

    I think he was a bit hurt before that elbow it looked like it came out of desperation.

    i think faber just made a dumb move and payed for it

    i bet if they rematched it wouldn't end like it did the first time

    He is trying to be too much of a superstar. Trying to make highlight reels. It is a rather common thing that fighters do, and then kick themselves in the ass for it later.

    that's also what i was thinking...(imagine if that elbow had landed..! )
    Risky move...and he paid for it.

    Damn, that is a pretty funnny knock out.

    Faber did a no look jump right into that punch.

    I never drank the Faber Kool-Aid. Always knew Yamamoto was on another level. Now if only he'd get back in the mix.

    "This guy" was the #2 guy in the world at that weight in most rankings.

    Faber has dominated their common opponents, Yamamoto has looked average against them.

    In the past 2 years Faber has won 6 good fights, Kid has fought 2. One of them was common opponent Fernandes, Faber put him through a meat grinder, Kid should have lost a decision to him.

    The guy is still elite.
    He got caught after a stupid move.
    He will learn.

    Why because he's Japanese. Didn't overrated Japanese fighters. Look at what just happened to Paolo Filho.
