    WTF was that? Faber threw a wild elbow without looking, and got knocked out.

    Woah! Faber pays for trying to be too innovative. Got caught throwing that back elbow from long range.

    Faber must have been watching too many Anderson Silva videos on Youtube.

    I wasnt expecting him to stop although early on looking at him I thought it might be intresting since hes bigger and probablly stronger. Urijah kinda knocked himself out though the kid threw that elbow with no technique and he was looking in the opposite direction so hes hit with a perfect right hand that he had no clue was coming. Id love to see a rematch of this fight although Leonard Garcia might have something to say about that.

    Stoppage was a tad early - they should have given Faber more time to recover.

    BTW I hope Filho never gets a contract with the UFC this guy put on arguablly the most pathetic display of fighting ive seen he tried to avoid this fight like the plague for almost a year that doesnt even try to make weight thinking Soonen wont fight him then he just keeps dropping to his ass every chance he got.

    Yeah at one point it actually seemed like Faber was on his way to recovering then Thomas hit him with about 4 big shots and Faber was taking it clean so I suppose the ref didnt wanna take any chances. I myself knowing who Faber is id probablly have gave it 2-3 more secounds with could be a long time although it dont sound like much.

    Yea, looks like Faber was trying a reverse elbow; usually he can do that sort of thing and have it work because hes so nasty and explosive with his elbows, but just shows that Brown was truely deserving.

    Yeah he usually can but look at how he tried it he appeared to be already stunned before that with a shot then he gets up and throws that thing out of left field with his eyes in the wrong spot like he was just basically throwing a hailmary shot. But **** everyone makes mistakes including the great fighters which he is. Im a bit sad though cause it looked as if Brown may have hurt his ribs in that fight and ive been there that stuff is horrible on your breathing and painful as hell if only Faber couldve recovered we wouldve had a classic.

    Yeah but the only real shocking one would be Faber getting KOed. Sonnen shouldve won the 1st Filho fight but he fought retarted and Pulvers been KOed a few times come to think of it.

    Pulver got plowed. Faber got knocked out. And someone told Fihlo he was getting sent to either a high school dance or a brothel. I'm not quite sure what he was doing.

    I think it's fair to say that was one bizarre event.

    The WEC can, but I don't know if they will since the higher division will be gone soon.

    I wonder if Filho and Faber aren't victims of their own press clippings. Filho must have been reading the article that said he was going to take over the UFC at 185 when Silva moves to 205 while Faber was reading about how he's supposed to be innovative and do things no one else can do?

    These guys forgot to keep it simple. Come in in fighting shape. And set up your strikes properly.
