If Jens is looking to drop to 145, the WEC seems to be the logical place to do it. I'd love to see this fight. I'm not a big fan of Faber's attitude, so it'd be nice to see him get socked in the face a few times.

Problem is, I think he'd still be able to get Jens to the ground, control him, and sub him in the 2nd rnd.

I finally got to see this kid fight last night......I was impressed with his abilities but not his attitude. The California Kid seems really arrogant, and it sure would be nice to see Pulver punch his face a few times.

As far as Pulver winning the fight........well, we can't underestimate Pulver can we? He's got heart, and he may be even better at a lighter weight. But I agree with jmarsh........he'd probably get sub'd by Faber in the second.

Later.

Faber for right now just because his ground game is much better than Jens. When Jens gets a bit better on the Ground I will give it to Jens because Jen has some great hands.

Jens via the sprawl and brawl. Faber has good grappling with some very nice wrestling, but Jens has some great takedown defense, and Faber has shitty standup. if Jens can keep Faber off of him with some heat so that he can keep sprawling on his shots from the outside, than he can knock him out

Even with Jen's lackluster ground game I think he could sprawl and brawl his way to a TKO over Faber. Now....if Jens goes and trains with BJ a while ..... he'll knock Faber silly.
