My boy Jens just got choked out by Grispi in less than a minute. He's really gotta hang 'em up. At least it wasn't a brutal KO. TFK
Damn! Aldo made short work of Swanson. He's a bad dude. Aldo should be next in line for a title shot, and it'll be hard to bet against him. TFK
It's BETTER for MMA if Faber Regains the Title (Brown is a Decent Dude, but he ISN'T a Sellable Commodity, Compared to Faber), but REED Can't See HOW he Can Get it Done... Can't Wait for this 1... REED:hammert:
Yep... REED had to Turn the Volume UP 4 That!!!!....Good 1st Round Overall, by Faber...He HURT Brown w/a Right Hand & Used his Footwork to Maintain Distance til the Latter Portion of the Round.... Even Though Brown is CLEARLY Bigger & STRONGER, Faber Did Aight in the Clinches... Round 1 to Faber... REED:hammert:
Good first round. Faber has to keep this fight standing, Brown is just too strong on the ground. I wonder how much weight Brown has to cut, he's big for 145. He could probably jump to 155 with no problem. TFK
Faber's ATHLETIC As Hell...Brown is ALOT Slower...ALOT MOre METHODICAL...REED Would liket to See him Throw More SIDE Kicks Though... Faber's Making the Same Mistake that COST him the 1st Fight, Turning his Back to Brown...Brown Takes Faber Down when he Gets Ahold of him, but Doesn't Do Much Besides Apply an Ineffective Choke Or Hold Faber @ the Waist... GREAT Flip by Faber... TOUGH Round to Score...Faber Did the FLASHIER Work, but Brown CONTROLLED the Majority of the Round, if Only by Holding Faber... REED:hammert:
Brown won the 2nd. Faber has good stamina, but he looks tired. Fighting his way up from the bottom against a much stronger Brown is wearing on him. TFK
Round 3... REED isn't Overly Impressed w/Brown...He's STRONG as Hell when he has his Hands on U & he's Obviously a BANGER, but there's NOT Alot of Other Elements to his Game... Still, it DOESN'T Look Good for Faber when he's Easily Taken Down & CAN'T Get Up for 45-60 Seconds... LEAD Elbows by Faber...Brown's Got him Looking a Bit NERVOUS w/those Big Right Hands Though...Nother TOUGH Round to Score...Slight Edge to Brown in that 1... REED:hammert:
I gave the last two rds to Brown,this guy is a stud! Faber hurt his right hand,he seems like he's in survival mode.
Hopefully Faber ISN'T Relying on a Hometown Decision...This is ANYBODY's Fight @ this Point... Apparently Faber's Right Hand is FUCKED...But he's STILL Gotta Use it to WIN this Fight... Faber Staying Away NOT Doing Much of Anything...Brown TOUCHES Faber w/Light Uppercuts when they Clinch.... A 1-2 ELBOW Combo from Faber::...This Cat does Shit that REED has NEVER Seen B 4...Nonetheless, REED Thinks Brown CLEARLY Won the Round... When the Hometown Crowd is in a LULL, it's Because their Guy ISN'T Winning... REED:hammert:
Faber not being able to punch is really hurting him. He's got a lot of balls though, hanging in there and keeping it close. TFK
Final Round... Faber Fighting w/More Urgency...NICE Guillotine by Faber, but Brown SLAMS his Way Out of It::...N Terms of STRENGTH, Faber's a Middle School KID & Brown's in his Sr. Year.... HUGE Choke by Faber w/Brown FLAT on his Back...But he's Tooooo WINDED & they're Both tooooooo SWEATY for him to Maintain it... Faber Takes the Final Round in REED's Opinion...DRAW Anyone???... REED:dunno:
Brown will lose this on a hometown SD. Brown should have continued to go for the body in the 5th. He would have stopped Faber.
It's Gonna B HARD to Make a Case for Faber WINNING this Bout, but it's In the Best Interests of WEC if they Fight a 3rd Time...Therefore, REED is Expecting a DRAW to B the Official Verdict... REED:hammert:
Excellent fight. I almost jumped out of my seat when Faber got Brown in that Darce, but he just couldn't hold it. Great effort by Faber, but beating a bigger stronger fighter with just 1 hand is just too much to ask. TFK
Great card. It was a good back and forth effort. It was closer than the scorecards indicated but the right guy won.
REED Knows Brown WON the Fight, Dude, but REED was Looking @ it from the WEC Side of Things...It'd B EASIER to Sell a 3rd Fight if this were a Draw...That's All REED was Saying... The Hurt Hand Gives Faber Some Sort of Leverage for a 3rd Fight, but there'll B a Lower Level of Anticipation... REED:hammert:
