Yeah that was kind of ineteresting I guess. I watched that yesterday. And to me, wiht my journey I guess in MMA. I am learning now, that alot of fights that may not be the most professional, are really alot like sparring matches and not all the time necesarrily the "end all of be end all", that I used to think. Especially with the Fhilo vs. Sonnen fight.
And also the Faber vs. Brown fight, that elbow Faber threw that is a mean bad ass street move. I think he should have not over extended as much, not as much space, and not jumped up at the end. Otherwise that was a mean move, something mean I like :yep , not seeing people get hit with it though .

 

I may just be in a mood. Did it seem like Brown just reactivley step to the side and threw a punch. I mean to me it didn't even look like he knew Faber was throwing an elbow. He just instinctively reacted or countered. It was a good fight. I hope to see another.

 

Does anyone think Garcia will get his title shot now - or does Faber get an immediate rematch?

Seeing as how Faber is WEC's posterboy - he will no doubt rematch Brown very soon.

 

Faber is all about flash and speed, This is what happens when you try to be "flashy" and look good in the ring. Technique and composure win out most times. Who ever said above that Brown didn't see it coming I assure you he saw it stepped left and countered with a right hook right on the money. I honestly don't see it any different in a rematch. Brown looked focused and determined and wasn't intimidated by Fabers presence. Faber needs to keep his hands up and NOT try those Anderson Silva moves.

 

if he can learn from it and tone down the flash a little, work on his fundamental stuff, then he'll come back. the only real problem is nerves now, hes gotta get the 'i was knocked out' **** outta his head

 

Have you guys seen the first fight where Faber was KO'd by Griffin? I was never sold on Faber completely - because he can be a bit wild and careless at times - and his speed lets him get away from it. Griffin countered him properly with a right hand and never let him recover. this wild elbow he threw against Brown was the height of carelessness and he paid for it dearly. Fights like this should make Faber focus a bit more. He can come back strong and still dominate. I want to see the rematch with Brown.

 

I think Faber is going to be the sort of fighter that is going to be great because he is flashy and dynamic, but is also going to lose every now and then because he is flashy and dynamic.

There are opponents he fights that he could and should use his speed and take risks against. Other good counter punchers and chess match fights should be fought a little more cautiously. Taking away some of his aggressions and odd moves might take away part of what makes him good. He just has to do a better job of assessing risk. That elbow was a pretty ******ed move for anyone.

 

:?

 

Damn he got lit the **** up!
Theres goes the Faber express. Losing a close decision is one thning but getting KO'd in the first is another He'll be outta the P4P rankings for a while :nod.

 

Actually, I dont see this loss as a devastating loss...Yes he got Koed but not dominated...It was really his carelessness and Browns "lucky" punch..coz frankly it was Faber who punched Browns fist with his face.

 

Good punch, he will learn...maybe.

 

Do all these little guys use roids?

 

Faber tried to be a little too fancy with that elbow.

 

I don't think it was a lucky punch at all. Look at the camera view from behind, he clearly sees it coming and steps to the left and bobs his head left to avoid and countered with a beautiful right. I don't think it was luck.
