I mean, c'mon, Faber is a beast at 145 and there's no shame in losing to a fighter of that caliber.

Hopefully he doesn't retire. this was a bad fight for him, wrong place, wrong opponent, wrong time.

He's had 3 losses in a row, but they were to some great fighters (Faber twice, for god's sake. I'd like to see anyone else not lose twice to him). It was a bad time for him to fight, but I applaud him for stepping up anyway. Here's hoping he steps back, gets himself level and starts kicking some ass again. I hope he doesn’t hang it up.
