Id have to take Faber, but it would be a great fight.

no way…have you seen what a beast miguel is. Watch his last fight. I think that was probably one of the best fights i’ve seen in my entire life

If ever there was a fight that needed to happen in the WEC.

Crowds in Arkansas came for the lure of cage fighting and $1 beer, but police say what they got instead was men ripping each others’ clothes off and kissing — a stunt suspected of being orchestrated by Sacha Baron Cohen of “Borat” fame.

“We had a contract for cage fighting. We were deceived,” said Dwight Duncan, president and CEO of Four States Fair Grounds in Texarkana, where the first of two Arkansas fights raised suspicions last month.

Matt Labov, a Los Angeles-based publicist for Baron Cohen, said he had no comment Monday about the faked fights. One of Baron Cohen’s movies is due out next year.

The day after the June 5 Texarkana bout, Fort Smith’s convention center hosted “Blue Collar Brawlin.’” Fort Smith police Sgt. Adam Holland said organizers told him a character named “Straight Dave” would goad a planted audience member into the ring for a fight.

The two men would then wrestle, rip away some of their clothes and share a brief kiss reminiscent of one between Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell in the film “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.”

Producers said “there would be a romantic embrace,” Holland said. “They said it was kind of to essentially make fun, poke fun at wrestling — two guys rolling around on the floor, all sweaty.”

An elaborate array of mounted and handheld video cameras caught the crowd of 1,600’s reaction as the two men “went right up to the line” of the city’s morality laws, Holland said. The two men stripped down to their underwear, kissed and rubbed on each other, the sergeant said.

The audience, as well as local fighters drawn to take part in the show, became enraged. “It set the crowd off lobbing beers,” Holland said. “They had beers in plastic cups. Those things can get some distance on them actually.”

Kevin I lost a little over $1200 on the fight because of the odds….I bet $500, I look at it as what I am trying to win, not how much I would loose…know what I mean.
For example if the odds are the same in the rematch…I would bet $1000, but it would losse around $2,400…Know what I mean?

.
No John, it’s not how much you would have won, counted as a loss, it’s how much money you would have won.

If I put 10k on rampage but would have only won 3000, I didn’t lose 3000, I lost 10!

Cmon buddy, you’re smarter than this!!

Urijah vs Miguel would be crazy match.. but looking at this match up today.. I will lean towards Urijah. 1 thing is for sure it would be must see fight.

Has anyone seen miguels fights before he became famous. He was sick when he fought in the Hammond Civic Center! He finished Almost every fight he’s been in!

i would feel guilty seeing that for free on tv, but im not complaining..

I would give this fight to Miguel he has fought guys 40 lbs bigger than him and whooped their ass when his ju jits wasn’t even at his best. This dude used to fight in bars at the age of 17.

Are these to having a stare down at a party.

Nice, I’ve been waiting for this. I just hope we get to see it live in Canada.

Someone at WEC get a deal with a canadian network…PLease and make it available in HD, we still dont get spike in HD here.

its from bloody elbow! his film is “bruno” the character is as funny as borat.

this would be the best WEC fight ever.

faber will get ktfo

faber would kill him.. miguels never faces somebody HALF as good as urijah.. he just absolutely demolished who was thought to be the top 145 lb fighter in the world in jens pulver, miguel has fought who? NOBODY’S nobody on this planet will submit urijah and miguel would be way outta his league in this one with standup

I think that Torres will have that 135 belt for years. I dont see ANYONE, period beating him. He is an animal. I have heard stories about him from peers of his, about hour long sparring seesions, fighting guys 50-100 lbs bigger than him, ETC, ETC. I heard some absolutely sick stories involving him

You how big the egos are of fighters. If you got people like Bonnar and others in Chicago saying the kid is a bad mo fo. You know it is true.

and I think that Faber would give him a run, but I think that Torres would win. I would love to see that one!!!!I would love to see Torres challenge even bigger guys in bigger weight classes. That would be funny to see a bantamweight beating up on a WW or MW….LOL!!

Oh man g just want to see it. hopefully some time next year. but best thing would to put them on the new years it would be great pupblicity. like a one time thing. aint gonna happan though.

Faber would take Torres, I would give Torres a chance to win or KO Faber for the last 2 rounds though, but the 1st 3 are Fabers.

Faber is the man!! Sactown!!! Faber just has to watch to not get caught in Torres’ many submissions, but I don’t think so.

Faber is one of my favorite fighters too. I just think that Torres would sub him or out cardio him and maybe even KO him late in fight.

Torres
Faber
Penn
GSP
A Silva
ANY Silva, except Asseurio
Fedor(sorry, the HW out there now are all, well, ugh!!)

What a SUPER-FIGHT that would be, WOW!!! I give it to Torres, that dude is badass, and has some sick jits too!! He has all the tools to beat Faber and his time is approaching fast. Miguel has been fighting for a long time, and people now are just starting to see his many talents. This kid is the real deal, and will be around for a long, long time, beating Faber will just be a part of his legacy.

Urijah Faber has defeated a Jitsu ace in Jeff Curran, Urijah Faber has defeated a stand up king in Jens Pulver, Urijah Faber can out wrestle anybody in the 145 division right now.

I personally do not think Torres could defeat him because Faber will be too big for Torres, but I think it would be a great fight.

Now there is a fighter that has dropped weight to 145, and who I want to see fight Urijah is Din Thomas… now I think that would be a great fight.

Yeah u said it bigmig. THat is a super fight i cannot wait for. I give it to torress also becuz if u saw his last couple fights, they were perfection. But it can go either way. Standing up wise i don’t know. I don’t think miguel could get urijah to the ground becuz of urijah’s size and wrestling ability. So i can’t really decide the winner, it just has to happen

I’d much rather see Faber vs KID…. THAT would be a blockbuster fight!

yeah that would. I think they were trying to set that fight up. But i dont really hear anymore about it. I would pay alot of money to c that fight.

Where did he get that hat? It looks like it came from the prize wall at Chucky Cheeses’.

This is off topic. I’ve read this forum a long time but never posted. I’m petty new to following MMA. I’ve got a fairly extensive wrestling background but just got into watching MMA a couple years ago. My question is – I notice a lot of you guys bet on UFC matches. Do you do this through a bookie? Or, are their websites. I’ve always been leary of using websites to place bets. I wouldn’t mind throwing $25-$50 on some fights just make it interesting. Any info would help.
Thx

This would be a bomb fight, just the hype ive heard about Torres without seeing many of his fights would already get me pumped to see him fight Urijah.

lol goldie locks against the karate kid!

I don’t see how faber could take this one. Standing up faber will get killed by torres’s vicious Muay Thai. Let’s say faber goes for a take down I think it will get stuffed. Torres’s jits is top shelf on his back or on top.

Lets say Faber gets a takedown. Any little if any damage done by Faber will be paid right back with interest by Torres the guy never stops working. If it stays on the ground I see Faber getting tapped beautifully.

“newly found 1 punch KO power” are you refering to that right hand you can see coming from a mile away that he was doing with Pulver that Pulver was blocking with his face and still didn’t 1 punch KO a damn thing with? Not impressed I hope he tries that with Torres LOL.

I actually used to like Faber but he thinks he’s better than he is. Torres is hands down my favorite fighter in the WEC and he knows how good he is, THE BEST.

“super mullet and dirty mustache” comment by Faber during Torres fight, some nerve with his buttchin and “Bo Derek braids” description by announcer during Fabers fight LOL. I hope Torres bust Fabers buttchin right down the middle and FAKER looked so FAKE and ridiculous with those braids I doubt he’ll rock that EVER again.

FABER SUCKS. HIS STAND UP IS AMATEUR HOUR. TORRES WILL EXPOSE HIM AS A SKATER GEEK THAT HAPPENS TO FIGHT.. WHAT A JOKE..

Outer space exists because it’s afraid to be on the same planet with Chuck Norris.

Miguel Torres is the uncrowned #1 p4p fighter in the world! yea i said it, over anderson,gsp,penn,urijah,forrest,or even fedor! The man is unbeleivable and fighting in the quickest most faced passed division in mma. i beleive he will never lose at 135 and will be a dominate champ at 145 in the future also. in a fight beetween him and urijah faber his jiu-jitsu,stand-up, cardio, and unbeleivable determination to win would for sure break urijah the longer the fight went. Miguel is 34-1 and hes beat the one dude who beat him. And that guy won by decision. He is impossible to finish and urijah could never do it. Torres by 3rd or 4th round sub or ko for sure!!
