I hope mike brown upsets faber…for some reason i just cant stand faber!..
te guy wo beat berry “grove” could be a good fighter with the right trainin ive seen him fight about 4 times now and hes got skills. after he beat berry he called kimbo out, ive heared nowt but good things about urijah faber but never seen him fight anyone think he could make the 155 in the ufc?
wow really youve never seen urijah faber?!?! thats just ridiculous youtube him immediatly and watch some of his highlight reels but as for goin to 155 i dont see y not the guys a freak of nature and i heard he wants to jump around from featherweight bantamweight and lightweight so he probably could he reminds me alot of BJ Penn where hes so good at everything where u cant really find a weakness in his game
big news guys look
Jeremy Horn vs. Wilson Gouveia added to UFC Fight Night 15!!!!!!!!!

The Faber train keeps going.
if he beat ken and then retired does that mean that ken will finally retire…..please retire! i say we start the 55 and older event with the broadcast brought to you by ben gay taking care of your crusty ace!!!!!
ken doesnt need to retire !
Ken doesn’t need to retire. He SHOULD retire. Old grumpy bastard.
Kouch,
LOL
Johnboy,
Goto the Youtube or if its still on the site Gladiator Challenge.com and watch the card they had there. Faber was one of the features.
Bummer about Alex being injured. He’s grown as a fighter since TUF 1. Bummer that Filho-Sonnen still isnt confirmed for 9/10.
I’m not a Fihlo fan so I hope whoever he fights kicks his left testicle and pile drives him. Not really…..I just hope he loses.
KOuch,
I don’t approve of the drug situation but I am pulling for Filho to hurt Chael because he tokk things too far prior to 12/12/07.
I have always been quick to defend Dana White, but this is kinda ****ty of him,
“When you’re in the UFC you’re part of this family and we really do care about most of the guys in this organization,†White told the Herald Wednesday night in his first public comments since Jackson’s arrest. “I’m not going to tell you I love every guy in here that fights for me, but most of these guys that fight for us, I truly do care about these guys inside and outside the Octagon. When bad (expletive) happens, you better believe I’m showing up.†-Dana White
Where were you during Chris Lebens ****? I dont like Leben, but Dana is picking and choosing his friends. I seen an interview with Pat Miletich the other day and he made sense too. Pat is not a big fan of Dana either, makes sense. All you long time fans know that Pat Miletich was a LEDGEND in the sport. The first welterweight champion and he held it forever. Go to UFC.com…..do you see anything about Pat? How is Ken Shamrock in the Hall of Fame and not Pat Miletich?? This is the stuff that pisses me off. The man is a ledgend and its growing with the fighters he trains.
hey Fixxer not trying to defend Dana cause he’s a cocky lil **** but I believe Leben’s DUI situation was prior to TUF and it was a violation of the terms of his probation that prevented him from getting a visa for his last fight. As for Miletich I completely agree and honestly I have a feeling if they do purchase the IFL they will try to induct him. It’s just a matter of him accepting the induction then.
didn’t know c0cky was a bad word lol
pats the man, great fighter, and quite obviously one of the top trainers in the world, jens pulver,matt hughes,tim sylvia,josh neer, robbie lawler,the list really will go on
Filho Sonnen confirmed for 9/10!!!!!!
Just got the email from WEC!
Ticket presale Sat!
Gunslinger,
Faber is badass. One of the most badass dudes on the planet. He is really badass. Definitely badass. I hope he wins…..he’s such a badass.
