    I think this is a good move for Faber. He should be able to make some noise at 135.

    I think its good too. He is a short dude and should be effective there. Some of those 45'ers are just too big for him.

    If it leads to Faber/Torres, I'm all for it.

    Or a rematch with Cruz for the belt.

    With the title changing hands every fight lately Cruz might not even still be there by the time Faber is fighting for the title.

    Faber's beat the current champ Cruz, and trains with Benavidez so I'm sure he fancies his chances at this weight. I definitely can't see Torres beating him. Torres has work to do before even being considered for a title shot. He's been bashed his last two fights badly. I'm pretty sure Faber is going to own this division. He's major disadvantage at 145 was his size, he's just a tiny little dude.
