Faber got me into the sport over 10 years ago. I used to watch him when he was with WEC and he was always my favorite fighter! Couldn’t have been more happy for his win!
Jameson Cross I hate Kevin Lee and I actually liked him at one point but him making excuses n shit made me hate him. I'm hoping all these losses teach his cocky ass a lesson. Hopefully he sticks with whatever new trainer he decided to go with and comes back as a new man
@Kirk Landau wow man! You banging these dudes? It is a typical "chael is awesome comment". Calm down. You new here? Hahahaha the best part is that regardless of who gets shot my life doesn't change a single bit
Naw Dillashaw lost all credibility, so once he comes back after lol two years, he needs to win a few fights first in dominant fashion while pissing clean, then yea i agree. Faber will be 44 by then
Mike Splitt No you think TJ lost all credibility. Here is a fact if Faber is still fighting when TJ comes back your crazy if you think he has to win a few fights before he gets that fight. If Brock came back, he was getting a title shot. If Anderson beat Stylebender and Robert didn’t get hurt, he was getting a title shot. Jon Jones comes back and gets a title shot all these guys have come back from USADA. TJ was a p4p great and considered the best bantamweight ever add the back story between Faber and the UFC will jump all over that fight ASAP.
@@mistermasterful3556 Tj steroidshaw probably win if they fought... If hes on it again. Not a fan of Cody Garbrandt either but that match could of ended differently if Tj wasn't on it. I was a huge fan of tj and i felt like he was "different" in terms of athleticism against Barao.
chael really does speak to the audience before they have said anything. Chael knows what the MMA fans are thinking a lot of the time and whether you agree or disagree he speaks to you, lays out his points his reasoning and leaves it there for you to think about. You won't find a commentator for MMA that is more in tune with the people
I live in The Dalles, and you have always been my favorite. Not just because I have lived in Oregon nearly my whole life. You are just an inspiration, “ if you are never willing to go too far, you will never go far enough” always stuck with me. You inspire me to always speak me mind, regardless of who gets hurt. The truth hurts.
Back in the day there were certain exceptions for guys skipping the cue, and it happened very rarely... I know we're in a different climate now with how the UFC operates, but even if this was back in the day I think it would be acceptable for Uriah to get the title shot with all that he's done for the company... and let's be real, that's one hell of a fight. Aljamain can fight Peter Yan to see who gets the next shot. Those guys are young and still need to build some name value.
I would love to see both get a money fight but Aljo deserves it more and I just feel like NOBODY was sitting around waiting for Faber to return. Everybody was mentioning GSP And it was a huge deal when he came back but Urijah isn't GSP.. I also don't want Henry to be on some McGregor shit if he gets really popular. I have a feeling he'll be difficult to work with if he becomes the next big thing in the UFC
@@shaikim-shapiro1453 Yan's a great fighter, but he's beating guys who are already on losing streaks. Yo be fair though, Yan 100% deserves to fight for a belt before Faber.
This fight is only worthy if mario Yamasaki is the ref. People would pay to see either Cejudo or Faber fight for the right, the opportunity to stay in this realm ..
5:40 range chael is speaking on some real deal stuff....urijahs take here is brilliant. hes a true fighter a true competitor. chael knows it when he sees it
Legends get to come back and jump the line - if the people want to see it. If the people want to see it. No individual's opinion matters. If the dial is moving, give the legend an "unearned" title shot because he's a legend. Personally, I think Faber has dang near earned it as is, because he has looked good. My opinion...
Pedro Woolson I don’t want to see anyone jump the line.. and I would bet most people want to see the person who earned the title shot get it like everyone wants tony to get his shot he earned it... faber should fight a top 5 guy and leave the number 1 guy get his first
I would think Uriah needs one or two more fights. The guy he beat was only ranked 15. Guys have been ranked high for a while and deserve it over Uriah.
I hope they make this fight, Urijah can beat Cejudo. I'd love to see him get the belt after so many years and attempts. I love to see good people like urijah go out on top it would be awesome.
One 1 hand is love to see Henry's cringe and p4p GOAT tall to be shut down, but also, we need new legacies etc, do we need an old dog coming in and killing prospects stories?
@@blickluke I feel like Henry's story is already over, he beat DJ, he beat TJ, and all jokes aside is an Olympic gold medalist. What else does he have to do? Urijah has everything but the belt. If he wins he'll have everything and a young star like Ricky can take the title from a champion everyone respects. Other than rankings, I don't see a problem with it.
It shouldn't be about playing on peoples emotions. Storylines shouldn't dictate championship fights. The best vs the best. JoeB vs Cejudo at 125 should be the matchup. We will see what happens.
@@fredodog1730 It's entertainment bruh, the best vs the best is not what it's about. It's about money and entertainment and storylines and best vs best is in there but it's way down the list...
@@WeHaveNoTalentSorry before I saw Henry fight Marlon, id totally agree with you. If Faber gets the fight with Henry, hes going to have his hands full.
The case against Faber vs Cejudo Faber has had 4 titles shots since coming to the UFC, and 8 throughout his career! But in the UFC, he's had plenty on opportunities to get the strap. Most of his shots were after one ☝️ single win, meaning he was fighting for the belt every other fight, or at most after 2 consecutive wins. He had a pretty good streak in 2013, but Michael McDonald being the only notable win during that streak. IF we're being honest, he doesn't have many top-tier names on his list (at least not in the UFC) Meanwhile you have guys that have actually been putting in work HERE AND NOW, have winstreaks, are beating top-tier guys, and they aren’t getting a shot. We're sitting here even considering the idea of Faber getting a shot *after 1 win,* meanwhile Tony Ferguson is on a 867 fight winstreak, and he's STILL hasn't been guaranteed the next shot. *We need to stop worrying about storylines and start focusing on making sure the most deserving fighter is fighting for the strap AT ALL TIMES.* That would cut down on a lot the shenanigans. Cejudo is calling out names that can fast-track him to legend status. He's trying to take a short-cut. Not that he can't beat the best in his division(s), but he wants to beat legends so that they're notches on his belt, not because they offer any actual threat to him.
If you are going to say Conors "retired skateboarder" Comment at least use it correct. Also you're overusing it "he did well for a skateboarder " thats when you stfu because its not funny to trying to keep that joke going.... You must be hilarious at parties YOUR JOKES ARE SO FUNNY. Never knew someone could be that original... oh wait you aren't and you cant even say the reference properly. Idiot.
It'll be hard for Urijah to do this, but assuming he waits long enough for whatever reason, he could challenge Randy Couture for the Oldest Champion ever (I believe Randy was 42/43 when he beat Tim Sylvia for the belt). Urijah is one of the most respectable fighters in the history of the sport. He may have been involved with drama, but that is all hear say. He shows up to fight. Chael and Urijah are very much the same in regards to talent and difficulty they've fought and having not won a title (in the UFC). As a California native, I am probably biased but you cannot deny him respect. He fought Frankie Edgar in a weight class he left years ago, and has fought the who's who at Featherweight and Bantamweight (and beaten many of his foes). Thank you Chael for the coverage, and Urijah for being a great competitor.
20,000 active Pro Boxers in the world. under 8,000 active MMA fighters in the world...Chael you talk like a know it all..you know wrestling, and that's it.
speaking of high schoolers.... a-rod was regarded as the best prospect at 17 - first the first round draft pick 1993 minor league and debuted in the major league at 18
It's kind of sad that Urijah is still biggest name in the division after the division has now been in UFC for this long and before last weekend he hadn't fought since 2016.
@Kirk Landau Yeah I agree also UFC never directly calls it number 1 contender fights so only the hardcores know that it should be one. That way they can put a guy like Faber in for title lol for the little more ppvs he can do. Even though he's not huge draw either.
I'm not happy with the fights they keep giving Cub Swanson, dude is legit but why are they always giving him submission type fighters, sure MMA is about being rounded (which Cub absolutely is!) but they know he'll piece up some new and up coming striker so they give him less favourable fights all the time.
Cub signs the contracts. He doesn't have to and could get better styled opponents, but chances are Cub and/or his manager doesn't have good negotiation skills.
Hey to you good sir the undefeated American gangster two things I have for you big man . First is just to let you know I look forward to anything you put out for us I really enjoy hearing your opinions being from the midlands over in the U.K. I don’t get to follow much wrestling but I still enjoy hearing you talk on the subject . Secondly what did Ricky say to you guys about the stoppage ?? I don’t think he was going to go out or even go close to getting knocked out but I do think Uriah would have swarmed him and Ricky might have not been able to recover in time or get into a position in which to intelligently defend himself . My opinion is the stoppage was a touch early but even though Simon wasn’t going to be KO’ed I think he would have been unable to stop Uriah swarming him with unanswered blows and therefore the ref would have been forced to stop the fight . Was Ricky unhappy with how it ended or was he pragmatic enough to realise the fight was going to be stopped when Faber landed the next few blows so regardless if the stoppage was a second or two early it was still getting stopped so it made no difference to the outcome anyway ? Or is the gyms opinion on the stoppage not suitable for print ?
No clear contender in bantamweight right now..... When bisping fought Dan Henderson, Yoel was very clearly the #1 contender..... I'd be okay with urijah fighting cejudo...... but not bisping vs dan...
The MW division was packed. You had Mousasi, Jacare, Whittaker, Yoel, Brunson, Rockhold and Branch who were all close to title oppurtunities, yet because of Bisping and Henderson that division took a huge dive. In terms of names it's still big, but most of the MWs in the top don't even have a 2 fight win streak going for them. The BW division is amazing right now and hopefully the UFC doesn't screw the division up.
Henry vs Faber is probably biggest fight you can make with both fighters. UFCs new star cejudo will become an even bigger star after he tools up Faber..... Conor can do bigger business with someone other than Jorge, and Conor wouldn't accept a fight against Jorge. Conor is more likely to fight winner of Diaz vs Pettis, or Tony Ferguson
If Urijah took everything from Ricky Simone does that mean that Ricky would have gotten a title shot? I love Urijah and always root for him, but I'd like to see him against a top guy first, not someone who was ranked 15th. But I would love it if Faber could smash Cejudo.
Yeah but Dan Henderson also had knocked out Bisping in the first fight, so there was more grip on making the match based on Bisping looking to get revenge.
Taylor the Tweaker that was a rematch of a huge fight which was on the main card of Ufc 100. And they’d coached on TUF and there was genuine heat between them. There is nothing like that with these 2 little guys.
Chael always says you have a 50/50 chance of winning. Chael has had 49 professional fights. The chances of a 50/50 chance happening 49 times in a row is over 10,000,000,000/1. Chael found a way to win them all. That's why Chael is the undefeated, undisputed GOAT
Dear Chael, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin. I love this fight I really think this is the one to make right now. Both of these guys have great stand up, solid footwork, Cejudo's got his wrestling, Faber is just a fuckin brawler man. Yeah I'd absolutely watch this.
If you take all of man's victories when you beat him, that means Henry Cejudo, with wins over DJ & TJ, has essentially cleaned out both 125 and 135 multiple times at this point. I'm not sure the fans are going to agree with this assessment.
Chael I gotta tell ya the further we get away from the punches and the kicks the less I am interested. I love a good personality but it should always be the best vs the best.
I can't believe there are people doubting Uriah. If there's a man to take Cejudo down it's him. And what a forgone conclusion, because Uriah deserves to wear the belt before really retiring. This fight will happen, it's just a matter of when.
He has lost every UFC title fight he has been in. 4 of them. He is 40 and was on the decline before he left. You can't believe people are doubting him. What the fuck are you talking about.
You have to take into consideration what all Urijah has done for the sport. When he was fighting in the WEC it was owned my the UFC’s old parent company Zuffa. So even though he wasn’t technically in the UFC he was still working for them under that umbrella. I’m 38 so I know a lot of you in this comment section will remember when Urijah first came on the scene there. He was like 14 and 1 then with his only loss coming to Tyson Griffin when they fought at some low level promotion in a boxing ring outside in the middle of the day. They didn’t have the corner post padding on good and in the beginning of the fight Urijah hit his head on that metal pole with no padding and had to fight with a busted head gushing blood. So a lot of people didn’t count that loss back then.. He had got the featherweight title In the WEC after that and defended it six times! All his title fights were free on the Vurses channel except for one. They did the first ever countdown show on that channel then for the WEC and Urijah was the main event. It showed how he had bought up a street of 5 houses and moved nothing but fighters in and called it “the block”. My point being those fights being free and that countdown show and many more they did on him got HUGE numbers of eyeballs on not only the smaller weight class guys but the sport in general. People would be shocked if there was a way to tally up the amount of fans alone that Urijah was responsible for bringing to the UFC... I know that reason alone doesn’t warrant a title shot but he is a ex multiple time champion under the Zuffa banner and for many years the only time he lost a fight was in title fights.. I’ve obviously always been a huge fan of his and the only time I got frustrated with him was after watching him destroy several guys in a row once the UFC brought all the WEC guys over and earn a title shot he would go into the title fight with Cruz or whoever and look nothing like he did in the fights prior that got him there! Looking back I think he was just burnt out. He’s been doing this for so long.. The Urijah I saw the other night was the old Urijah! And not just because he won in great fashion as fast as he did.. but watching him walkout and everything you could tell his head was 100 percent in the game. Looks like his retirement break did him a lot of good. Plus at his age he knows if he truly wants that title it has to be done fast.. I know I just wrote a book but it’s late and I’m just thinking out loud. Lol. I definitely see no problem with giving him the title shot. I think from a fan and entertainment aspect all the way to a merit aspect it makes sense in both. A lot of those guys that fought in the WEC back then did so much for the sport and brought so many eyeballs to mma. Cowboy, Aldo, Cruz, Pettis, the list goes on. Urijah was the face of the WEC though and his fights and personality won more fans than a lot of people realize.
Could Faber get his UFC Cinderella story? I would like to see it. Be cool. I like both fighters and don't really care who would win. But would be cool for Faber to get a shocking flash ko to win the title and then him and Faber have a trilogy
I really wish Urijah wouldn't do what everyone else seems to do. They have a good fight after 2 yrs or have 2 good fights after time off and they think it's Championship time. Let's just bypass everybody that has been grinding out win streaks and get a title shot. Now all those fighters that aren't getting paid the big money they have to sit idle for 8 months and risk injury and having to bounce in a bar to make more than 20k a year. Rant finished!🤼♂️🥋
If Henry can beat urijah he make his legacy legendary. Ppl don't believe he the best combat athlete ever, but give it time, he will define himself. I hope urijah get his shot plz ... I want urijah to win, like Askren plz get askren a title unc

Not that he can't beat the best in his division(s), but he wants to beat legends so that they're notches on his belt, not because they offer any actual threat to him.

Don't let this distract you from the fact this bum got destroyed by Machida and fell for the same flying knee twice.
when is the man undefeated at Gangsterweight commin out of retirement? *UNDEFEATED*
Please let Urijah smack all the C's off of Triple Cringe
How much salt does your body intake daily?
I like how cejudo just keeps beating everyone, the haters keep getting disappointed and its funny af
@@Dragondude30 Cejudo is a great fighter, unfortunately it's overshadowed by how annoying of a person he is. No self awareness
Andrew Lamacchia a man who calls himself the KING OF CRINGE isn’t self aware? ok buddy
@@ndr1863 Can you please link a video or article where he calls himself that. I think everyone else calls him that...
It'll be hard for Urijah to do this, but assuming he waits long enough for whatever reason, he could challenge Randy Couture for the Oldest Champion ever (I believe Randy was 42/43 when he beat Tim Sylvia for the belt). Urijah is one of the most respectable fighters in the history of the sport. He may have been involved with drama, but that is all hear say. He shows up to fight. Chael and Urijah are very much the same in regards to talent and difficulty they've fought and having not won a title (in the UFC).
As a California native, I am probably biased but you cannot deny him respect. He fought Frankie Edgar in a weight class he left years ago, and has fought the who's who at Featherweight and Bantamweight (and beaten many of his foes).
Thank you Chael for the coverage, and Urijah for being a great competitor.
Is Chael still training? Is he a coach?
@@jonbinki9651 cool
When the gangster uploads I click
I think Chael forgot that GSP left the sport without passing on anything other than domination same as Jones
The comeback fight for Tito Ortiz is going to be epic...
20,000 active Pro Boxers in the world. under 8,000 active MMA fighters in the world...Chael you talk like a know it all..you know wrestling, and that's it.
speaking of high schoolers.... a-rod was regarded as the best prospect at 17 - first the first round draft pick 1993 minor league and debuted in the major league at 18
It's kind of sad that Urijah is still biggest name in the division after the division has now been in UFC for this long and before last weekend he hadn't fought since 2016.
@Kirk Landau Yeah I agree also UFC never directly calls it number 1 contender fights so only the hardcores know that it should be one. That way they can put a guy like Faber in for title lol for the little more ppvs he can do. Even though he's not huge draw either.
People forget Urijah got a full camp, Ricky didnt. He cancelled his honeymoon to show up short notice.
It’s not like Ricky gassed out, he got caught with a strike
I can still hear tito tapping right now
You keep what you kill
Chael 'I can't make up your mind for you, but I will, here's a taste' Sonnen
Hands down the best analyst in the game, dare I say for any sport ever.
Firas Zahabi is a solid housenumber as well.
I'm not happy with the fights they keep giving Cub Swanson, dude is legit but why are they always giving him submission type fighters, sure MMA is about being rounded (which Cub absolutely is!) but they know he'll piece up some new and up coming striker so they give him less favourable fights all the time.
Cub signs the contracts. He doesn't have to and could get better styled opponents, but chances are Cub and/or his manager doesn't have good negotiation skills.
Hey to you good sir the undefeated American gangster two things I have for you big man .
First is just to let you know I look forward to anything you put out for us I really enjoy hearing your opinions being from the midlands over in the U.K. I don’t get to follow much wrestling but I still enjoy hearing you talk on the subject .
Secondly what did Ricky say to you guys about the stoppage ??
I don’t think he was going to go out or even go close to getting knocked out but I do think Uriah would have swarmed him and Ricky might have not been able to recover in time or get into a position in which to intelligently defend himself .
My opinion is the stoppage was a touch early but even though Simon wasn’t going to be KO’ed I think he would have been unable to stop Uriah swarming him with unanswered blows and therefore the ref would have been forced to stop the fight .
Was Ricky unhappy with how it ended or was he pragmatic enough to realise the fight was going to be stopped when Faber landed the next few blows so regardless if the stoppage was a second or two early it was still getting stopped so it made no difference to the outcome anyway ?
Or is the gyms opinion on the stoppage not suitable for print ?
Now that Chael has mentioned Nicky Ryan in his podcast, he has become the older brother of Gordon Ryan.
Sonnen is a master of formulating the nuance.
NEVER EXPOSE THE SECRETS OF THE BUSINESS
No clear contender in bantamweight right now.....
When bisping fought Dan Henderson, Yoel was very clearly the #1 contender..... I'd be okay with urijah fighting cejudo...... but not bisping vs dan...
Yea but all the fans didn’t care about that because they wanted the 2nd h bomb. Then when Bisping won they cried.
My exact thoughts
Did Sterling die? Hes been killing it lately
Benavidez and robo-cruz
The MW division was packed. You had Mousasi, Jacare, Whittaker, Yoel, Brunson, Rockhold and Branch who were all close to title oppurtunities, yet because of Bisping and Henderson that division took a huge dive. In terms of names it's still big, but most of the MWs in the top don't even have a 2 fight win streak going for them. The BW division is amazing right now and hopefully the UFC doesn't screw the division up.
Chael was trash talking a storm ⛈ before Connor was relevant! Still the funniest fellow the ufc has seen thus far👍👍
Chael doesn't like Masvidal calling out Conor for his name and money fight but is ok with Henry doing it with Faber?
Henry vs Faber is probably biggest fight you can make with both fighters. UFCs new star cejudo will become an even bigger star after he tools up Faber.....
Conor can do bigger business with someone other than Jorge, and Conor wouldn't accept a fight against Jorge. Conor is more likely to fight winner of Diaz vs Pettis, or Tony Ferguson
Don't question the GOATs choices
It’s a dumb fight to make honestly Urijah hasn’t beat a top 10 opponent in literally 5 years
If Urijah took everything from Ricky Simone does that mean that Ricky would have gotten a title shot? I love Urijah and always root for him, but I'd like to see him against a top guy first, not someone who was ranked 15th. But I would love it if Faber could smash Cejudo.
They gave Dan Henderson a title shot against Bisping. Why not lol
Taylor the Tweaker dan henderson already beat bisping so it was an easy sell to the people and nobody assumed dan would still whoop
Yeah but Dan Henderson also had knocked out Bisping in the first fight, so there was more grip on making the match based on Bisping looking to get revenge.
Taylor the Tweaker that was a rematch of a huge fight which was on the main card of Ufc 100. And they’d coached on TUF and there was genuine heat between them.
There is nothing like that with these 2 little guys.
Chael "In This Business" Sonnen
Chael always says you have a 50/50 chance of winning. Chael has had 49 professional fights. The chances of a 50/50 chance happening 49 times in a row is over 10,000,000,000/1. Chael found a way to win them all. That's why Chael is the undefeated, undisputed GOAT
Conor vs Masvidal! Make it happen Uncle Chael 🍻
I understand everything now because of the way Chael explained it! wish you was my wrestling coach!!
Wasn't feeling it when it was first mentioned but your vid kinda turned me around on it. Let's see how they can build that moving forward.
Dear Chael, I wrote you, but you still ain't callin. I love this fight I really think this is the one to make right now. Both of these guys have great stand up, solid footwork, Cejudo's got his wrestling, Faber is just a fuckin brawler man. Yeah I'd absolutely watch this.
Ufc knew uriah would win most likely. But nice video again!
If you take all of man's victories when you beat him, that means Henry Cejudo, with wins over DJ & TJ, has essentially cleaned out both 125 and 135 multiple times at this point. I'm not sure the fans are going to agree with this assessment.
Chael Sonnen laying out the Highlander theory of MMA
Chael I gotta tell ya the further we get away from the punches and the kicks the less I am interested. I love a good personality but it should always be the best vs the best.
All good points except faber knocked his ass out in the first round and made it look easy
Chael “my case for” Sonnen
Give Urija one more fight and then send him to Henry
I think Chael is the only American I’ve ever heard use the saying “couldn’t care less” correctly.
I can't believe there are people doubting Uriah. If there's a man to take Cejudo down it's him. And what a forgone conclusion, because Uriah deserves to wear the belt before really retiring. This fight will happen, it's just a matter of when.
He has lost every UFC title fight he has been in. 4 of them. He is 40 and was on the decline before he left. You can't believe people are doubting him. What the fuck are you talking about.
You have to take into consideration what all Urijah has done for the sport. When he was fighting in the WEC it was owned my the UFC’s old parent company Zuffa. So even though he wasn’t technically in the UFC he was still working for them under that umbrella. I’m 38 so I know a lot of you in this comment section will remember when Urijah first came on the scene there. He was like 14 and 1 then with his only loss coming to Tyson Griffin when they fought at some low level promotion in a boxing ring outside in the middle of the day. They didn’t have the corner post padding on good and in the beginning of the fight Urijah hit his head on that metal pole with no padding and had to fight with a busted head gushing blood. So a lot of people didn’t count that loss back then.. He had got the featherweight title In the WEC after that and defended it six times! All his title fights were free on the Vurses channel except for one. They did the first ever countdown show on that channel then for the WEC and Urijah was the main event. It showed how he had bought up a street of 5 houses and moved nothing but fighters in and called it “the block”. My point being those fights being free and that countdown show and many more they did on him got HUGE numbers of eyeballs on not only the smaller weight class guys but the sport in general. People would be shocked if there was a way to tally up the amount of fans alone that Urijah was responsible for bringing to the UFC... I know that reason alone doesn’t warrant a title shot but he is a ex multiple time champion under the Zuffa banner and for many years the only time he lost a fight was in title fights.. I’ve obviously always been a huge fan of his and the only time I got frustrated with him was after watching him destroy several guys in a row once the UFC brought all the WEC guys over and earn a title shot he would go into the title fight with Cruz or whoever and look nothing like he did in the fights prior that got him there! Looking back I think he was just burnt out. He’s been doing this for so long.. The Urijah I saw the other night was the old Urijah! And not just because he won in great fashion as fast as he did.. but watching him walkout and everything you could tell his head was 100 percent in the game. Looks like his retirement break did him a lot of good. Plus at his age he knows if he truly wants that title it has to be done fast.. I know I just wrote a book but it’s late and I’m just thinking out loud. Lol. I definitely see no problem with giving him the title shot. I think from a fan and entertainment aspect all the way to a merit aspect it makes sense in both. A lot of those guys that fought in the WEC back then did so much for the sport and brought so many eyeballs to mma. Cowboy, Aldo, Cruz, Pettis, the list goes on. Urijah was the face of the WEC though and his fights and personality won more fans than a lot of people realize.
Could Faber get his UFC Cinderella story? I would like to see it. Be cool. I like both fighters and don't really care who would win. But would be cool for Faber to get a shocking flash ko to win the title and then him and Faber have a trilogy
I really wish Urijah wouldn't do what everyone else seems to do. They have a good fight after 2 yrs or have 2 good fights after time off and they think it's Championship time. Let's just bypass everybody that has been grinding out win streaks and get a title shot. Now all those fighters that aren't getting paid the big money they have to sit idle for 8 months and risk injury and having to bounce in a bar to make more than 20k a year.
Rant finished!🤼♂️🥋
They offer the fight to the fighter, it's not like a douche move from the fighter
Hope Faber beats Henry
"If a guys on a roll and you beat him....that's now your roll..." Highlander style.
Chel! Always direct taking chances but you state your point. Much love and MOTIVATION!
Someone better tell Mrs Stafford that 2+2 doesn't equal 4
Hey clay, pull up that video of the brazilian feeding a carrot to a bus.
If Henry can beat urijah he make his legacy legendary. Ppl don't believe he the best combat athlete ever, but give it time, he will define himself. I hope urijah get his shot plz ... I want urijah to win, like Askren plz get askren a title unc
Yes people who say he doesn't deserve the fight have a decent point but IMO I wouldn't mind seeing it. If the fight happened it wouldn't upset me
