good fight but i lost respect for pulver.. he had quiet a few chances to do damage and win the fight and he didnt take them. It sems like he just wanted to smile whenever he got hit. if you arent going to go out there and give it your all then stay out of the ring.

Wow that fight almost looked rigged. Faber looked like he was holding back. He could have finished that fight if he wanted to.

It was a good fight, but the Torres fight was much better IMO.

great fight. pulver has an amazing chin--almost looked like a rocky balboa fight. faber's hand speed is absolutely insane, and those hooks that turn into short elbows are brutal.

i do have to say that it looked like pulver really lacked the killer instinct tonight, though. he had faber truly rocked about 5 times, but seemed tenative about stepping in to finish or do major damage. it almost seemed like he was waiting for the one perfect opening for the left hand glory shot instead of taking the openings he had. he'd land a good 1-2, then back off. at first i thought it was patience, but after round 3, it seemed more like overcautiousness.

all in all, pulver had his chances, but faber clearly won the fight. very, very classy performance by both fighters--faber giving respect at the beginning of round 5 really impressed me, and the post fight commentary by both guys made this a special event for the entire sport.

i was rooting for pulver, but faber's skill, grit, and class won my respect.

I thought it was a great fight - they stood up practically the entire fight and it went 5 rounds. It's the first time that has happened for Urijah. I want a 2nd fight 'cause I don't see anyone on the horizen who can beat Faber.

Kid Yamamoto is the only one who comes to mind, but I think he's training for the Olympics.

I'd love to see that but Kid fights for another organization (Pride?) and I don't think it'll happen until he is under the Zuffa umbrella.

ETA: Look at this shit- www.wec.tv/. First, click on the post-fight vid of Urijah and notice how unscathed he seems . . . then click on the vid of Jens. Damn.
