Wow. No one told me it was 'over the top' day. I don't doubt that Faber would take Brown at least 1 out of 10 but not many more. I think Brown really exposed Faber's inability to put it all together. The same could be said about the full 5 rounds Faber couldn't really do anything but pepper Pulver. Faber has stated he wants to go to 135 and face Torres. Bad idea. Faber surely isn't big enough to make a run at 155.
Franklin at least has some stardom behind him. Even if he never makes another run at a title he'll have fans. More fans than Faber making him a bigger draw.

Faber is a good striker, but not a one punch KO guy. He could outpoint Brown, but more likely he'll get worn out by the bigger, stronger guy and lose a decision every time out.

there last match wasn't too bad and decisively one sided as was Franklin vs. Silva. Broken hand makes a huge difference. I wouldn't mind seeing another fight just to definitely seal the deal. They are still great fights cause Faber and Brown always bring it.

Silva is simply out of Franklin's reach. Brown is not outside of Fabers.
The first Brown / Faber was a lucky punch. If Uriah had hit him with that blind elbow, who knows what would have happened. The second went to the judges. I think a third would be a good match, and the odd would have Faber taking it.

This. Also lets not forget, Faber fought Brown with a broken hand in their second fight. He was throwing bows in the later rounds, and he was landing them off of combinations which is amazing. He can reclaim his belt no doubt.

If I flip a coin and it comes up heads three times in a row, if I flip it a fourth time it still has a 50/50 chance of coming up heads.

False. A coin is permanent. It will always have two sides no matter how long time passes. Fighters on the other hand, d eteriorate. They get older, slower etc. A prime Matt Hughes would have a higher chance of defeating GSP, then the Matt Hughes we see today.

Most crtainly he is. I hope to see Faber try andf bulk up muscle wise and join the UFC Lw division soon. Brown is on a tear and Urijah cant seem to derail him.

The only reason I want to see a third match is because he broke his hand early in the second fight.

How much more can he bulk up? Have you seen him? He is ripped. I dont think that would be the best thing for him. He should move to 135
