You it's funny he's talking about fighting Faber. After I saw both win their last matches I thought about this fight. This fight would be great! I would be so excited.

This could be a great match! I still see Faber winning though, he's stronger and he's beaten many a BJJ specialist in the past.

Light Faber up on the feet? Did you see the Pulver fight?

I think Faber is too fast, even for a smaller guy like Torres.

Rnd 1 TKO. Not EVEN close.

I dunno... I think Faber is way too powerful for Torres. I don't really see any way Torres wins other than by pulling off a sub which I don't think he would be able to do.

Also to whoever said that Faber would beat Tyson, he probably wouldn't for the exact same reason. Faber is big for 145, but he's not very big at 155. Tyson could probably fight at 170 if he wanted to. Size difference comes too much into play in the lighter weight categories for either of those fights to be very interesting.

This could headline any UFC event, easily.

Torres is a more complete fighter than Faber... he takes this one in a hard-fought battle.
