Takanori Gomi vs. Urijah Faber

I saw Faber fight for the 1st time yesterday and thought of this matchup. Gomi/Faber would be a war.

Yeah, that would be slick.

I'm also excited at the idea of Pulver going over there to fight in that division.

No. NO. NO!

Faber does not want to move up. Gomi would outweight him by a fair margin.

Why can't people name opponents for Faber who are 145 lbs? Why is this so difficult?

That's not even funny man. That'd only prove Faber is ducking Sok.

To be honest I don't think many fans including myself are very familiar with the 145lb division. But it's gonna be cool that WEC will be the US flagship for the smaller weight class (145), so in the future we will be more familiar.

While I understand that (barely) I also don't understand why people would match a person who cuts to 160 lbs up with a guy who walks around at 150, and competes at 145 lbs.

It's like "lightweight, featherweight? Sounds the same to me."

Oh, and God bless the WEC for promoting it. I just hope they can lure the Shooto players over.

a 154 SHOOTO Gomi vs a bulked 155 Faber would indeed make for quite a war.

But I'm going to have to take Gomi's size and monster heavy hands over Faber in a very close bout.

I'd like to see him against Carvelho or Tamura. Or Imanari, obviously.
