    Faber's round... looks great on the feet, had a couple slips but recovered really well... That spinning backfist attempt was really fast...

    I missed the hot cop . . . I'll take your word for it leafs.

    Faber won the first round imo. Pulver isn't really connecting on anything.
  • ReleasHReleasH Posts: 743
    How on earth did Jens Pulver survive that? His chin is ridiculous!

    Great back and forth second round ... I still give it to Faber though.

    holy crap what a round... how is this fight still going on??? jens should be taking a nap right now :) Faber's round again, but tons of props to jens for staying in this thing... what a recovery and then he just smiles :)

    quality fight! :) i have to agree releash...how is jens still standing? urijah has to be wondering it too!

    +1 on the cop, leafs. ;):D
  • leafs4everleafs4ever Posts: 833
    a bit of a slowed down round but still good... 3-0 for faber
    jens is looking a bit tired going into the 4th

    and STILL he's in it. faber's beating him up with the more accurate shots, but it's a dangerous game with jens on the feet. great takedown defense by jens on that one shot attempt.

    another round to faber will a great takedown and some amazing elbows from the top position...
    what was jens saying to the ref at the end there??? something about the elbows going to the throat?

    yep, jens looking even more beaten now going into the fifth as the pace slows more.

    i think that's what he was saying.

    faber up all four rounds i think we'd all say?

    really? i thought with all the ppv buys they would make more, but if it must be free tv, i guess i'm ok with it :)

    I'm not sure one way or the other, but had heard ppv had declined

    Should be a unanimous decision for Faber ... I had him winning all five rounds. Jens hung in there but never had a dominant round.
  • leafs4everleafs4ever Posts: 833
    great fight... Faber should win this 50-45, he was better on the feet and on the ground tonight but was really tested... Jens is a warrior and gracious in defeat... I liked at the beginning of the 5th when faber showed his respect for jens

    well, the last half of the fight slowed down, but the first half was very good. credit to jens for haging in there, but he got picked apart as the fight went on.

    ya i'd probably still put it in the top 3 fights of the weekend... but ya, faber controlled it all and picked jens apart

    well that was a pretty damn good card. only 1 not good fight and 2 FOTN candidates...
    Can't believe that in less than a week it'll be ufc 85... doesn't really have any super fights, but has a lot of really good ones (on paper) so it should turn out to be a good event

    thanks, leafs. still up...considering calling emergency to get this thing taken out. :D seriously though, my jaw is starting to get stiff and my ear is starting to get very painful too. driving me crazy! :mad:

    ...to calm down though, i just saw this post-fight press conference clip of gina from last night. it sounds like a "letting the pressure go" moment as she re-iterates her passion for the sport and why she loves it. no doubt it was a relief for her after all the negativity this last while leading up to the fight. she seemed pretty emotional, and praised kaitlin as well...
