I'd say since everyone in the UFC is changing classes, that Torres should move up and fight Urijah for his belt its only 10 lbs not like moving from MW up to LHW and jumping 20lbs. and i would take Torres to beat Faber

Manny Tapia(however you spell his last name) is suppose to be the next in line for torres because he was suppose to be torres's first title defense.

Unlike the FW division, the WEC has a lot of top talent at BW. In addition to Manny Tapia, i would also like to see him fightBrian Bowles and Will Ribiero.

Unfortunatley Tapia seems to have that injury bug

I'd really like to see a super fight with Faber, but maybe they want to let that one brew for a little longer

My personal opinion is that he would beat Faber. I hope he takes that opportunity if it arrises.

I'm all for a rematch with Maeda as well. I'd say fight Manny Tapia first and have Maeda fight the winner of Bowles vs Page and set it up that way.

That's a great idea, if anyone can take the belt away from Torres, I think it will be Page. He's so well rounded, and extremely fast, would be an amazing non-stop fight.
