|  Faber: 'I will be Renan Barao's toughest test, he won't be mine' at UFC 149
Faber: 'I will be Renan Barao's toughest test, he won't be mine' at UFC 149 Quote: |
"I'm excited for it. I really feel like it's a more dangerous fight. If you look at him versus Dominick, it's not as tricky, it's more straightforward. He has a lot of heavy artillery in his offense. He's really polished on the ground, a black belt who has a lot of finishes. But it's not gonna be as tricky as Cruz. With Cruz, you have to find him, he's running around and trying to outpoint you. Barao and I are gonna go out there and beat each other up, and I'm gonna get the win."

"Yeah, a lot of people don't realize, also, that I've fought the majority of my career at 145 pounds, even though I've been the same size the whole time. Because our sport's been developing, I didn't have the opportunity, back in 2003, when I first started fighting to fight at these lower weight classes. But I was always at the top of the 145 pound division. I wanted to take that next chance at the title, even though I was being given a big size disadvantage. I think I have one more TKO or KO, one more submission than he does, but he has a couple more fights than I do."

I hate that my last few post I've found time for have been for Faber, but again as always...PLEASE Knock Him the F' OUT, or even submit him which would be even more pleasurable because then there are no excuses.
A knockout he can claim "lucky punch", but submission, well there is no such thing as a lucky submission (as well there is no such thing as a lucky punch, you throw a punch & the intention is for it to land & you are aiming for it to land hence it performs the job).

I really like this fight, Barao may be the future of the division, while Faber is trying to build his legacy.

I totally agree with Urijah. However, Barao has been cruising right by against all of his opponents...so it will be interesting. It's a toss up fight for me. I think Urijah has to make it a high paced fight and get in Barao's face to win, because to me Barao is a bit better of a striker from the outside and just as quick...
