if this happens..

this could essentially be the greatest fight in MMA history.. period..

i’m much more excited about this one than GSP/Penn or GSP/A. Silva..

Damn-that would be a great fight, my money is on Torres, even though he got rid of his pimp stache’.

#5Woodburn, there is know way that Faber is going to fight Griffen again. The first time they fought was at 135. He was given his rematch at 145lbs and didn’t take it. If you saw the past fight griffen vs aurelio you could understand why. Griffen is now a solid 155 he looked bigger and stronger than ever in that fight. Faber doesn’t cut to get to 145, he is naturally 140. Faber’s chance to avenge that lone loss has come and gone.

I would love to see Torres fight Pulver at 145 first, that would really tell us a lot about his ability at that weight. I also want to mention that Leonard Garcia is a free man. Hopefully, the WEC will bring him back. It appears that he has been cleared of any wrong doing. If the fight he had with Huerta is an indicator, he would give Faber all he could handle, I don’t know if he could beat Faber, but it would be just as intense as Faber vs. Pulver or Garcia vs. Huerta

Torres is one of the best fighters I have seen in a LONG….time!!!! I say he defends that 135 belt for at least 1, probably 2 years. I dont see anyone beating him, anywhere, especially no one the WEC has on their roster.

As for Faber, I wouldn’t take that fight for a long time because I dont see Faber winning. I would like to see Torres show he is a bad ass and fight up 2 or 3 weight classess. That would be sick watching a BW beat up on a WW or even MW

I wonder what weight this’d be. Would it be 135, 145, or a catch(140)? I think 140 would be the best idea, but I doubt it’d happen that way.

yeah, torres could fight pulver first. jens had mentioned wanting to fight nogueira next, but he’s apparently been suspended for a year.

as for faber… they’re kinda running out of guys to fight him. i doubt it’d happen, but i wouldn’t mind him fighting a one off in the ufc (on one of the weaker cards) to avenge his loss to tyson. could test the waters to see what kind of draw he’d be.

crazy how much weight class hopping has been tossed around lately.

That would be a hell of a fight. Agree with Rob I would like to see Torres get a fight at 145 first to get used to it but I would say that’s unlikely. 10lbs is a big difference when you’re that small.

Totally agree with #1 – - although I’d like to see Torres fight once at 45 to see how he can carry the weight. I’d like to see the WEC come to the East Coast with that main event (even though it probably won’t happen)
