EARLY PREDICTIONS: Urijah Faber -vs- Jens Pulver

Faber wins via Guillotine Choke in Round 1.

I don't think Pulver has any chance to win this.

I totally agree. Faber is gonna be way to much for Pulver to handle.

JENS

maybe pulver gets a quick ko that faber doesnt see, anything could happen.

You cant count out Pulver he is fighting at a much more natural weight for him you never know what could happen he could catch faber with that monsterous left hand of his, or maybe he is improving his overall game like he showed last night.

i shall predict pulver by brutal KO late in the 3rd round

I like the way you think, hopefully it comes true. I am glad he beat Swanson. There were so many doubters.

I'm at the belief, that i'm not going to pick against a champion. If Pulver wins, then i'll pick Pulver for any future fights. Right now, both my personal beliefs, and because of that belief, I must pick Urijah.. If you can knee someone with no legs still touching the ground to support you, then your special. That was amazing, and Urijah is the future. Jens' days are over. Jens will get his shot, but I don't think that he'll ever be a champion again (at least in the UFC or WEC.) I expect Urijah to finish this around the second round by GNP.

I don't think that anybody not named Yamamoto can beat Faber at 145.

Uh, I'm gonna go Faber armbar in the second (subject to change).

im a long time pulver fan, and he looked great last night(for all 30 something seconds), but i cant pick against faber right now, he looks as close to unbeatable as silva at MW.

Look at the talent from Shooto and Hero's. There are definitely other fighters that could possibly beat Faber. The 145 class isn't completely dominated by just two fighters.

could be a close fight, if Pulver fights smart, and has a good gameplan...
(avoid the ground)


Urijah by round 2 submission (choke)

I totally agree with that. I will be rooting for Jens like crazy though. Such a great guy is impossible to root against.

I think Jens is better at 145 (and even at 155) then most people give him credit for. Unfortunately for him I think Faber is just as good at 145 as people think.

I look for Pulver to make it compeitive early, both on the feet and the ground, but Faber will push a fast pace and around the 3rd or 4th round I think you'll see Pulver start to fade and get beat to the punch and beat to position in the scrambles in a big way. I say Faber ends it late.

Jens is just so damn easy to like... He's just a guy that I always wanna see win... But this is going to be one tough fight for him... But I don't think that Faber will have what it takes to finish him and I'm hoping that Jens catches him in the championship rounds of the fight...

How sweet would that be? Seeing Jens a champ again, if anyone deserves it it's gotta be him

I'm rooting for Jens but I just don't think he'll beat Faber...and I don't think it will be close, personally. I think Faber dominates.

its so hard to pick against pulver but i just dont see anyway to beat faber, even when hes in trouble he nevr panics, hes so calm in that cage, i gotta take faber rd.2 sub

i got a 2 beer bet on jens just for fun, but i dont know if he'll pull it off
gonna be an awesome fight

this is a tough one even tho pulver is undefeated at that weight class, i have to pick faber im just so impressed with that kid

Uriah by Gnp in one for me.

i my self gotta go with jens his exp is next to none in the wec, its his weight calass hell knockout faber with a left to the jaw

Out with the old in with the new Faber is going to lay the smack down

i gotta go with faber i think he is stronger than jens and will be able to take him down and control the fight
