According to current WEC Bantamweight Champion Miguel Torres, a superfight with WEC Featherweight Champion Urijah Faber is going to happen at some point. He even says it has to, but that everyone would love to see it.

I didn't realize people were even thinking about these two guys fighting... hmm i have to say it would be interesting, but I'd have to pick Faber by Murder. The war that Torres had recently with Yoshiro Maeda makes me want to see a rematch between the two as it was an awesome fight that was stopped by a doctor due to swelling. After that bout is settled I really wouldn't mind seeing Torres fight Faber as long as he beats Maeda again first. Like it said in the article though, i don't see this fight happening anytime in the immediate future.

I think that would be such an amazing fight.. Miguel is one of the most versitile fighters out there.. I like Faber as well, but I will be rooting for Miguel by submission.

Faber could make 135 if he wanted.

Faber is too big for Torres. Faber would overpower him the whole fight.

I would love to see this fight @ 135... Torres definitely has the skillset to defeat Faber.

My first thought is maybe the obvious: Catch weight at 140, sort of a middle ground for both. I'd love to see a fight like this too, seems that every time these top Bantamweights or Featherweights get it on it's going to be a FOTY candidate.

Miguel is 5'9 so I think he could easily add some bulk, Urijah on the other hand is only 5'6. He looks pretty small to me even for a 145lber. So I really don't think size would be a factor. If it stayed on their feet I think Miguel would light him up, but if it went to the mat Urijah could outwrestle him all night.
Get em' Miguel, smash that pretty boy to pieces.
