As soon as fabers contract with the wec is up hes coming to the ufc no doubt. I would like to see the Diaz rematch with the winner to get Danzig.

Mike I have a feeling that will be addressed as one day I think he will go to 155.

As much as I hate to admit it, Manny has a point about purses in WEC. The published purses for the fighters after the Faber/Pulver fight were really low compared to UFC. Faber got about 40k, as I recall, and he’s head and shoulders above everyone else at WEC in skills and marketability.

Manny needs to win some more fights in the UFC before running his mouth about where there’s more money or title shots, etc.

This guy is 5’2″ of pure hype. I haven’t seen anything that proves he’s the badass he thinks he is. So he talked some trash with Nate Diaz? Who cares.

Patrick, I don’t think you’re reading my comment’s right. I didn’t say he was in a top ten listing of any sorts. I would also take Faber over Manny if they were to fight.

Newsflash: Manny is nowhere near as talented as the top ten LW fighters in the UFC.

#6 and 7, you guys are way off track.

#6, I’ll give you a short list of who is better than Manny in that division right now: B.J. Penn, Stevenson, Sherk, Florian, Huerta, Guida, Diaz, Maynard, Edgar, Neer, Lauzon, Miller, Gurgel, the list goes on and on and on. Manny is near the bottom of that division.

Faber would pulverize Manny by the way, it wouldn’t be a fight, it would be a beating.

I don’t see Manvel becoming a Champion in the UFC’s LW divison. I’m sure Zuffa would make it worth his time and money to fight in the WEC if and/or when he earns his shot at Urijah Faber. I think that would be a good fight to see.

God, I am sooooo tired of hearing this crap. Usually comes from the mouth of Rogan.

First, I understand the idea of weight classes. So that smaller guys can compete against someone of approximately the same size. The first problem is the stupidity of having weigh-ins the day before instead of the day of a fight. Ask Frankie Edgar is he’s the same size as Gray Maynard. Fighters not dieters.

Second, who exactly is better than Manny at LW? Look at the contenders in the LW division and who they’ve fought. The division hasn’t been around long enough to shake itself out. Manny has 2 losses I believe. Sherk and Diaz at the finale because of injury. I don’t like Sherk’s style any more than most but his record speaks for itself. If Nate beats Neer (who in his stint at WW defeated Guillard and Joe Daddy), he could be considered the #1 contender and Manny won the 1st rd of their fight in my eyes.

Fighting in main events in WEC is better then fighting in the first fight of the prelim cards in UFC.

He should be swinging from the WEC’s nuts right now instead of thinking about the UFC. At least he would have a career there, unlike his current UFC stint. Hey Manny, stop hanging with Karo, it affects your judgement.

OH, is that all he would need?? For the UFC to bring 145 and Uriah to him? RIGHT. He is one deluded character, just like his cousin, with an equally unrealistic sense of self value.

I think Manny’s a jerk but he should fight a top 10 LW before making that decision. And I agree with Heffahuff, a rematch with Nate is a must.

I hate that dude. A rematch with Nate is what i would like to see.
