Urijah Faber - WEC Champion

[inuyashaspet]

guy looks more and more like Nick Pitera every time I see him.

[NakMuayMMA]

In the video, he mentions opening a gym in Roseville in a couple months. I assume he meant Ultimate Training Center being run by James Irvin and Scott Smith. Does anybody know the details of the fallout between them? The 3 used to train together and James and Scott used to be trainers at Ultimate Fitness back when it first opened. I heard James & Scott wanted independence or a bigger cut than Urijah since they were both UFC fighters at the time and supposedly a bigger draw? Any truth?

[misnikk94]

he is the hotes

[loverofhose1]

Doesn't really matter what anybody says. Urijah Faber is a class act. Whether he wins or if he loses he still has a smile on his face. So whoever likes to put him down say it to his face!

[WWEizHBK]

juz watch faber knock brownz fagget azz out like da lil bitch dat he b

[kimwillw]

urijah faber is a beast  period

[badgersr1]

wow this guy below me is a fuckin dumb shit

[Stigmableedingblack]

Faber is a fucking wigger and a disgrace.

The current champ though, Mike Thomas Brown, is a fine rolemodel for white people.

He will beat wigger Fabers ass again.

[Perrsian11]

I don't care if he acts diffrent at a diffrent time,but I am scared the hell be fighting against him. he is the ultimate fighter of his generation, fucking period..no one can beat faber,no one has yet been born from his Muma,

[TianaXD]

"no one can beat faber"

don't know if you've been keeping up with the wec but mike brown rocked faber in november last year and took his belt. sorry to burst your bubble... not really

[iRockBoXers]

Sometimes he acts nice and humble like in this video and other times he acts really self-absorbed. i don't get it. -_-

[momof2sweetz]

my uncle is an mma boxing trainer at his gym, he seems to think Urijah is a really good guy and I guess he would know seein' as he's around him day in day out

[mitsubishidiamante]

I heard he's a really cool guy

he says hi to everyone. cousin of mine

bump into him in the Mall. & he even

shake his hands. real friendly guy.

not like some other ppl who made on top

it really changes them & become snobby

[crazymike44]

Depending on their weight... Bj was at 200 lbs at one point...

If they were at the same weight, Faber would definately win vs. Penn. Faber is on another level right now...

[roosanator]

Penn would beat fabers ass... i got all the respect for faber, but penn is a world champ in the ufc at 155 and he is moving up to fight gsp at 170... before i even have a thought of faber beating penn he needs to beat griffin at 155. he wins he should fight penn, if not maybe he belongs at 145...

[tina202337]

hes so hot!!!

[CityofPurps916]

I think Faber v.s Penn would be a grat fight! I'd give the fight to Faber!

[jeffthewrestler]

Urijah is a really good guy he is always at his gym in sac. I went there just this monday met him. He let me grapple on of his kids there. By the way I;m only 14. I went 5 rounds with this kid he trains. The kid was pankration champ it was really cool and pretty awesome meeting Urijah.

[achillesandroscoe]

ok after seeing faber fight jens pulver he looks like he needs some conditioning!! Bj Penn is 2 tall and fast for faber 2 keep up.Faber was keeping his hands down like he is some fast bastard but he is far from that if he would fight BJ Penn the same way he fought pulver Penn would KO him first round

[achillesandroscoe]

penn would destroy faber! it wouldn't even be a contest more experience

[pacificspade]

saying it wouldnt even be a contest thats just the BJ Penn fan in you speaking...you KNOW that Penn would not destroy Faber, he could win, but he wont destroy him..Faber is MUUUUCH better conditioned than BJ..id say that fight would go down to the cards.

[camman931]

i know u guys r like yeah they should fight! hey dumb ass they trian togather as some people already said

[sabres1423]

its hard to believe he is a featherweight!

[mksterr]

did you see Genki Sudo at 155, submit

Butterbean at 350 with a heel hook?

[kobebean]

Bj Penn vs Urijah Faber at 145, that is once Bj eats Sean Sherk up, i this Faber-Penn would be a great one

[CTUKeyes]

Well he's going to fight Jens Pulver for sure. A PennvFaber fight would be cool though. I want to see him fight Tyson Griffin again and avenge his loss

[kobebean]

tyson-faber would be great but tyson has fallen off & i think urijah would eat him right now, if anything i would love to see urijah fight frankie edgar, that woul be a good one for the #1 contender then fight bj

[CTUKeyes]

maybe...Edgar lacks exp though. All though he has beaten both Tyson Griffin AND Spencer Fisher and they're both excellent fighters so he might put up a good fight against Urijah. All though it sucks Fisher was beat by him I love Fisher x P

[meenjerk]

urijah is training with bj and bj is wrecking him stupid fight.

[BachDizzle]

HAAAAAAAAA Faber would Rock Bj Penn in the first minute

[deathmore50]

lmao....

[Renegade002]

Faber is training with bj now for his fight against Jens idiot...

[gaywhitekids]

bj was also training with faber for the sean sherk fight...

[TAPOUT239]

dumm ass

[male272]

That same principle mentioned below is the reason BJJ works so well in training. You're always struggling against someone who knows what you're trying to do and is equal or better than you...when you take that same jitsoka and put him against an untrained person, submission is easy.

[kif2006]

Regarding MPA2000's obviously uninformed comments, at this level of competition, every edge, including size & weight, is important. A 145-lb pro fighter can beat most guys in the street, regardless of size. However, at the pro level, it becomes more difficult to overcome size deficit, esp. during a multi-round match.

[MPA2000]

When are Faber and the Marine going to fight someone with caliber? Rob Mcullough finally did and lost.

[rynoesco]

you can step into the ring with him at any time if you want. i'm sure he would love to give you a beat down.

[MPA2000]

I am a consumer and they fight for my benefit. If they can't handle good competition then they need to leave the sport and go play golf.

[rynoesco]

as a champion, i don't think faber is ready to leave the sport. at his weight class he is the best in the world until someone steps up and takes his belt.

[MPA2000]

Right, that is why I asked when are they going to fight someone of caliber? The strict weight classes are a joke, these fighting techniques are supposed to be able to defeat larger opponents. But these 145 and 155 whine about fighting guys 180 and above. In a bar fight you don't have the luxury of deciding to fight a 300lbs dirt bag feeling up your woman.

[654654321321]

who should he fight at 145 that would satisfy you? Personally, I have never heard any fighter complain about fighting heavier fighters. Why would they? They don't have to. You sound like you would like their to be only one weight class for all fighters, which, while interesting (especially when royce gracie starts kicking peoples asses that are 100 lbs heavier than him) would favor the heavier fighters too much. It is supposed to be a sport, not a contest at who would win in a bar fight.

[MPA2000]

You've never heard of fighters complain about fighting heavier fighters? HAW! HAW! HAW! Almost all of the fighters constantly say that MMA represents real world street fighting. Only an idiot would think to become a Martial Artist, for the sport and not to consider it effective against a bully. HAR! HAR!! HAR!!!!

[654654321321]

from your ass do your words come.

[CTUKeyes]

I rarely resort to harsh words but sometimes The level of idiocy some people come forth with is SO immense I cannot help but express myself. You are RETARRRRRRRRRRRRDED!!

[654654321321]

agreed

[clebervic]

when does faber fight again???

[armandmax]

wec vs jens pulver

[clebervic]

awesome thanx dude. when?

[duh75]

It doesn't look like "The Bod" has ever even lifted a weight in his life!!!

[deucesolo]

Looks like Urijah should be training Claude the Bod! Who's in better shape here?

[vancerz]

that background music is annoying as hell.

[chinogon]

is that ZZ-top in the background!?

[Johnf85]

shes got legs - zz top

[ofwhatiam]

Nice interview! It shows Urijah's genuine comradery with the press and very nice that he reaches out to fans---like me :) I love the footage of the gym and athletes in training but the background music is very distracting--very hard to hear spoken words. Urijah is an inspiring athlete.

[SisterPhister]

He's very well spoken and cordial. Seems like a stand up individual. Good luck in your future bouts Urijah.
