    Good God imagine if he gets the cut right and it suits him , he'll be a MONSTER !!!!!!! Funny how it pans out 18 months ago there was talk of him moving to 55 to fight Penn as he had all but cleared out 45 , a bit like Penn Aldo was being spoke about before Penn Edgar , strange .

    Anyway if Faber suits the weight everybody watch the **** out !!!! :deal

    I always wonder when a guy suddenly decides to cut or put on so much weight and claim it's natural.

    If he can do it healthy then cool. It adds some spice to the division.

    Achillies ive been hearing Urijah say this for about 2-3 years things like if the WEC needs me to fight 135 I can make that weight easily. Urijah was a wrestler so im sure his first cut to 135 wont be hard on his body compared to guys who arent used to cutting. Anyway this is bad news for Bantamweights out there if you think Urijah is fast and strong at 145 imagine him 10 pounds lower ? This just about gets me a hardon thinking about some possible matchups.

    I don't think I've heard him talk about 135 before. If he can do it then with his toughness level that should keep him in the fight for the whole distance. Then it's a case of skills and we know he ain't too shabby.
