Does anyone think Jens has the skills to take the belt away form their champ Urijah Faber? just wondering what any of you all think on that subject….

i really dont know who urijah faber is. however he seemed slower than usual with his punches and reaction time in my opinion and im sure that the smaller guys are faster than the 155 division. i see that he has his hunger back to fight but is that enough… i really dont think so but his fight experience may overcome some of the younger fighters and prove me wrong. time will tell

I really don’t think Jens has what it takes to beat Urijah Faber. He’s a tremendous athelete. Very strong wrestling, with good submissions and good stand-up. I think Urijah would take him down and win by submission.

Faber is the champ at 145, he is VERY GOOD, i have seen a couple of his fights and he is phenomenal on the floor….

Nope. Jens is a one-trick pony…left hand. Faber will have his way with Jens, but I suspect that fight will never happen. Jens will get stopped before he ever gets a title shot.
Suppose Pulver does meet Faber… Faber gets takedowns at will, takes his back and wins by RNC.

didn’t tyson griffin defeat urijah faber???

PULVER WILL BE CRUSHED ONCE AND FOR ALL,HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAA

Urijah Faber is the truth.. The only fight he lost was tyson griffin which he was winning but got caught in the 3rd round, it was really good fight.. but that was a couple of years ago.. Faber is very well-rounded.. i like jens but this is goin to be to tough for him.

Long Island guy,

   I just watched that video on you tube and Tyson Griffen beat Faber down pretty convincingly. At no point in the match was Faber winning the fight at all. He was hit with crisp shots throughout.

i dont think it was convincingly. until he got ktfo. thats my opinion kevin kelly..

didn’t tyson griffin defeat urijah faber???

Man, people bring this fight up every single time someone mentions Urijah Faber. So what!? Fedor lost once too, Chuck lost 4 times and Randy even 8 times. Still, everyone is making a big fuss about the only loss Urijah ever had. He got caught, maybe he had an off-day or at that day Griffin was simply better than him.

Anyway – Urijah will, as many here expect – dominate Jens, just like BJ did. I just want to state that this doesn’t make Urijah the best 145lbs in the world, as the world does not (contrary to popular believe) end at the US borders. The SHOOTO organization in Japan has probably the best featherweights in the world and I’d like to see Urijah compete against them.

excellent comment.. there ya go kevin kelly

He’s not fighting Faber right? If so or whenever it happens Pulver has the tools to beat him down. Faber is a great fighter but has alot of growing up to do. Besides there is really no one in WEC that can challenge him. Hard to see Jens move down, but so be it. No room for him in 155 anymore. Card should be good with Razor Rob headlining too.

his going to get ko in 45 scs

I’d have a hard time naming Faber’s weaknesses.

And I’d have a hard time naming Pulver’s strengths, other than his left hand.

Jens is passed it man he should concentraye on coaching.

yall are not giving enough credit to jens….. who befor his loss to joe lauzon he was undefeated in over 5 fights in the UFC…. he was unstopable….who knows…. if droping to 145 will make him as quick as he was before… we might see one of the best jens pulvers ever….

UFC NEEDS 145!!!

Faber is a beast anyone who thinks pulver has a chance is on crack! Faber will end his night in the second round by KO! To strong to fast to good on the ground…he is better than Jens at everything! FABER….PERIOD!

Jose H…stop drinking or start watching more MMA because its not all about the UFC. Faber is a force and Jens missed the bus to the senior center…sorry bro but your boy sucks.

Jens is still damn good despite his loss to Penn. I think moving down in weight class will show how good Jens really is. He has some serious KO power. I actually pick him to take the belt from Faber.

Yea I live in Milwaukee, Duke also trains Eric Schafer

I’d like to see Urijah Faber vs. Nori Yamamoto. Won’t happen for some time as Nori has taken time out to train for the 2008 olympics.

I agree with most people here. I’d expect Faber to win. Jens is tough though and it could be a decent fight. Still Jens has more than enough in his hands to put Faber down in the blink of an eye.

UFC definitely needs 145 lbs. There is so many good guys out there at this weight.

This is the right move for Jens and the proper weight class. Uriah Faber is far more skilled than Jens and would be a huge favorite. Jens always has that punchers chance of catching him and I would love to see him get the opportunity. Pulver impressed me throughout UF5 and he seems like a very down to earth person. I love an underdog and I’ll be rooting for Lil Evil on this journey however far it goes.

Jens seemed like he had little to no fire against BJ. Hands werent really moving until BJ put him on the ground… second round didnt really throw any leather. No way he can be Faber like that.

Faber is the real deal of the 145 class. But if anyone can beat him, it might be Jens throwing some hard hits.

Lil Evil is still a great fighter but the prodigy is the best at 155. Jens is going to rule WEC

I like Jens alot… but I think everyone that is counting on him winning against Faber, really needs to check out some of Faber’s action. Domination is his game… dude will be compared to Fedor and BJ in the coming years… one of the best fighters in the game now, and will be the best in his game later.

I dont get why evryone thinks b.j is a legand at 155, true he beat jens in a rematch and won the WW belt from matt hughes but has not recently fought any fighters in their prime why does he deserve a shot at sherk/franca when he starts beating people like roger huerta and joe stevenson and then wins the title I will consider him one of the greats of the lightweight division.

faber is gonna retire jens…dont get me wrong i like jens, but faber fights like a hurricane.

If Jens gets more confidence and training on his ground game and he keeps up the hunger, conditioning and training like he did for the Penn fight, anything’s possible for Pulver. He knows he needs to work on his ground game and actually did a decent job of defending in he Penn fight. If Penn had not got the submission and went 3 rounds with Pulver, I think you would have seen a different outcome to that fight. I can’t wait to start seeing this guy more on TV. He’s awesome!

Hey wasn’t Jens the 145lb champ in what is said to be the toughest lightweight division in the world, SHOOTO. I’m pretty sure Jens dominated that organization, if you haven’t seen any of the fights just check out the Pulver vs Ueymatsu fight then tell me whose the best 145lb’r.

Jens has indeed fought at FW and is undefeated. It’s hard to recognize Pulver’s skill at LW because that division has changed so much since his reign… Gotten really big I mean (literally). I’m confident that we will see the old Jens in WEC. As for beating Faber, I wouldn’t doubt it, but will wait to see Pulver’s fight against Cub Swanson to make that prediction.

First off, Jens wont get to fight Faber…He has to go through some tough competition before he even gets a CHANCE to fight him. Nobody is mentioning who Jens is fighting Sept 5th…Jens will lose on sept 5th to Cub Swanson. Cub has a superior ground game, and has very good standup skills…he just chooses not to use them often. There are other fighters in the 145lb class that can beat Jens as well…you are all giving him too much credit. He is on his way out at this point…just look how BJ dominated him…

what because he lost to penn? penn is the best fighter pound for pound there is. and you know what,,? pulver beat him, broke him in that fight.

i do think penn is a better fighter overall no question. but jens pulver is one of my favorites and will continue to be.
the guy has been a fighter from the day he was born. he had to be. one of the most exiting fighters in the game.

yo jens good luck for the rest of your career homie,,,,remember going up to lester,,,,and i knocked your cousin taylor out ..lol. that was cool. now i can say, who jens pulver,,,yeah i knocked him out,,err well his little cousin taylor anyway. jk

oh and whitemencanjump, you dont know what your talking about

I love Jens…I had the pleasure of meeting him in Vegas for the last WEC fight, and he is definately very down to earth and humble. I’d really like to see him make a comeback, and I think he is definaltely very capable of doing it. I can’t wait to see the fight on Sept 5th!! You are so right MrFye, Jens definately won me over on TUF5. I used to like Penn, but seeing him on the show changed my mind.

But Fedor’s loss came from a doctor stopping the fight 17 seconds into the fight from a cut caused by and illegal elbow…and since it was a tourny there had to be a loser. Just wanna clear that up.

Pulver had to stop cardio (or limit) to gain enuff wieght for the BJ fight. He has a renewed fan base and a new outlook from coaches view, 145 is HIS class He will dominate lol. End of story.

IT will be a good fight when he fights faber, i think hes got a shot has to keep it standing up.
