Was watching Urijah Faber the other night fight I've seen him before and was wondering what people thought on him and how he would fair at UFC.
I think he will compete with any of the top guys in UFC; the guys a little pit bull. Crazy conditioning and never lets up on the gas, always fighting for every inch of ground. He puts himself in some bad spots just out of sheer aggression, but seems to find a way to get out of them. The boy puts pressure on something fierce.
i think he needs to gain weight to compete in UFC but i think he would be good...WEC is a feeeder for UFC anyway...
if faber come to the 155 in the ufc he'll lose
he probaly the best 145 fighter in the world
well like in boxing , they say that just because you go up in class, your punch isn't guaranteed to do the same...
Dpends on how well he carries the weight I guess,I mean he'd need to bulk up to 155 as he is only 145 and bulks up to that from what I have read.
Hey Gents,
Urijah is definitely the premier 145 pounder in the world at the moment. The guy is an awesome, well-rounded fighter and a "machine" through and through. His recent victory over a game Jeff Curran proved that once again. However, as his lone loss to Tyson Griffin showed, weight does makes a difference and plays a significant role in combat hence the reason for weight divisions. With that said, I think Urijah should stay in the WEC at 145 pounds for awhile and elevate that division with the masses. He is the lone superstar there right now and has the skill, talent, and charisma to carry it on his back. Moreover, there are some serious 145 pounders like Jens Pulver that will give Urijah a challenge in the coming years. If Urijah and other fighters of his ilk (who hopefully come into the fold) and are able to bring significant attention to his division, I believe the UFC will someday relent and establish a 145 lb division for the likes of Urijah. I think they're just waiting for more talent to enter the ranks at that division before they do.
Take Care,
Lito
keep in mind that guys that fight at 155 may walk around at 175 ...
IMO he would fare well....The real measuring stick would be how he fares against Pulver when the two meet...and I have a feeling it will be sooner then many think
