I don't know that much about featherweights, hence I don't know much about Kid, but from what I've seen from Faber he seems to be really fast with submissions and never gets tired. Because of that I'll pick Faber but that is subject to change based on this upcoming bout.

Well for sure Kid is phenomenal, but he's got Fedor syndrome as was mentioned earlier.

Kid is better everywhere, this fight between Faber and Kid would look a lot like Tyson Vs Faber

EDIT: dumbass sherdog rankings dont even have kid in the top 10

i am honestly surprised how Faber is beating him in the pole, it actually saddens me. Kid needs to be recognized more for the great warrior that he is. in my mind this isn't even close, Kid Yamamoto is the true kin of the FW division, and more people should recognize.

[



its cause five people such as myself voted pulver from the heart and would really vote kid if it was just between faber and kid :D I know Kid would destroy themboth

That's because they probably have him listed as a bantamweight

I like all but I think Kid's got to be the best.

I think Fabiano is the man to beat Faber, Dont think Faber and Kid will fight anytime soon but I would pick Kid by KO.

It might sound like I dont like Faber but I honestly think Torres is too much for him too.

It's not about who's 1st, as long as everyone tries their hardest they're all winners.
