Urijah Faber vs BJ Penn

Now i know that Pulver is the one dropping weight class, but think about this. If BJ Penn and Urijah Faber met at 155, that would be a great match up.
I only bring this question up, becasue i believe that Urijah Faber is to quick and strong for Jens Pulver. I believe that Urijah Faber is a mini clone of Matt Hughs only with a better stand up.
So bare with me and answer the question, Who wins between Bj Penn and Urijah Faber? How do they witn?

Penn vs. Karo @ WW

and

Urijah vs. Kid @ FW

I've actually met Urijah and he said he is far too small for 155. He says if the UFC had a 145 division he'd fight there but he isn't going to get bullied into fighting at 155. Since he'll never fight there, the topic is irrelevant.

I second that.

I think Penn v. Karo would be an instant highlight reel.

when the above posters were mentioning their own matchups, they were basically saying "we dont care about your one-sided matchup" in the nicest way possible.

Faber is a monster, but only at FW, if he moves up, he'll lose against almost all UFC LW's, especially Penn.

If it's never going to happen then, who cares?!?

That's like saying who would win between Matt Hughes and Fedor. <-- Never going to happen so, who cares?!?

are you insane???????? BJ penn beat Matt Hughes. How is a FEATHERWEIGHT fighter even going to compare to that. Urijah is great at 145 but he stands NO CHANCE against a guy like BJ.
