Pulver VS Faber

How do you guys see this fight going? I think that Jens has the better stand up and there is always that chance for a knockout with that big left hand. Faber has the advantage on the ground although Pulver claims he has been concentrating much of his training on jujitsu lately, and it showed with the anaconda choke in his last fight. Im am really looking forward to this one, as it will be one of Faber's biggest challenges yet. War Pulver!

I honestly dont think this is Fabers biggest challenge yet..

Now dont get me wrong Jens is a great figheter but Faber is an all around better fighter than Jens

I think Dominic Cruz had the best fight against Faber although it was short Cruz was whoopin his ass until he sunk in that swickotine

Actually, I think Urijah has a very solid stand up and very heavy hands; not to mention his GnP from guard.

Jens on the other hand has more experience and has fought better guys.

I still don't see this fight going anywhere else but Urijah's way; he'll take it for sure.

I really think that Faber is just a monster right now and will dominate Jens on the ground. I can't see Faber losing this fight. Jens is far from his prime and he'd be running up against a primed star.

Pulver's chances come either from his left, or experience setting him up for a sub on the ground, while Faber is over-active.

Still, Faber has too many ways to win, and youth + good fitness and tool set on his side.

Faber is a monster, Jens is a fan favorite, but the monster will win. Faber is too athletic for Jens, and has way to many weapons. Darce 3rd round.

I still think Pulver is a tough fighter. He's not good enough to be #1 anymore but he's still a tough opponent for almost any LW and I think he does have a shot at beating Faber. Having said that, I think Faber is a better fighter at this point. I think he'll win but he's not predictable enough to guess how. If I had to pick I'd say by TKO Rnd 3.
