I was standing next to both Faber & Torres at the last WEC event. Torres is about 2″ taller than Faber. I am 5-11 and was towering over Torres in a picture I have. This is prolly just the good ole scheme that basketball recruits use where they all grossly overstate their height.

Torres is a legit 5′9”. I’ve stood next to Faber and I’d be shocked if he was more than 5′4”.

5-9 to 5-10?? Are you kidding me? Torres is 5-6 on a good day, the moment he wakes up out of bed at that. He would get thrown around by Faber big time in my opinion, even though I am a big Torres fan.

I just hope that Tapia’s knee doesn’t make him miss a title fight again, he’s had bad luck with that twice so far. He missed a title fight against Chase Beebe when he was champ(replaced by Rani Yahya) and against Torres earlier this yera(replaced by Yoshiro Maeda).

Torres is a bad dude! I’ll watch any fight he’s in…but Torres v. Faber?!? Wow! Big PPV in my eyes.

For me…would be one of the top 2 or 3 fights of the year.

Sam….please…..your grammar! The objective case is required following a preposition. Hence, “between him and Faber”….not “between he and Faber”! You make the same error repeatedly in your posts.

Editor’s Note: How can I repeatedly make the same error in my posts when it’s not even my post? Someone who is not even attentive enough to read a byline is not qualified to correct grammar. How does your foot taste?

Mexico would be nice but not necessary. If they did the show in a highly hispanic US city like say San Diego it’d be pretty big there also.

If they could get this show in Mexico it’d be huge.

Miguel is a tough bastard but I cant see him having the tools to put up much of a fight against Faber. However, a big heart and granite chin have decided fights before.
