WEC shows, Urijah Faber etc etc

The UFC kept showing Urijah Faber in old UFC shows. Why did they do that? Were they trying to build up a featherweight draw? Why didnt they ever show brown.... or even aldo?

We all knew before hand that brown was superior to Urijah Faber. yet they never promoted brown. Was Urijah Faber more sellable as a fighter?

i dont know what your talking about with the old UFC shows; but yes the UFC definately pushes Faber as a personality.

Urijah is more known then brown to the average joe. He is the reason Jamie and Ben are not fighting in arizona. He sells around 12000 seats everytime he fights at home. So the WEC said they didnt want to risk losing that to try it in AZ
