Faber breaking his hands is probably a result of very bad striking technique.

[SPX]

Yeah, that's probably it. . .

Yeah, that's probably it. . .

What else would it be? I could see breaking one hand but two hands? It has to be an issue with his striking.

[SPX]

That was Faber's 23rd fight in his career and nothing like that had happened before. You won't catch me saying that Faber is a GREAT striker, but he's not a bad striker either. I'm also pretty sure he trained for a period of time at Fairtex in Thailand.

It was weird, but hands get broken in MMA. It just so happens he broke both of them.

I know he's bet Barao before.

Besides, he said "Now Faber can't beat Brown." So I just have to know if that means he'd bet Brown if they fought again today. I assume that it does. I also am pretty damn sure he'd lose that bet.

Where did I say Brown would beat Faber now you twit? Brown is damn near 40 years old now. What happened 4 years ago has no bearing on today. Faber fought Brown twice. Faber lost twice . Those are the facts, so you saying Faber was better that Brown is just stupid.










And poopoo's right, I rarely bet on anything under 170lbs

[Luke]

I think that rematch with Brown would've gone differently if Faber hadn't broken both of his hands.

Yeah, Faber would have probably been knocked out again

Nigga, you're memory is worse than I thought. You need to see a doctor.

I didnt mean now literally . I meant he was a champ for years and then got beat by all those guys

Strength of competition got better. That doesn't mean Faber's not still a great fighter or that the 135 lb division is not strong today.

But if you remember, we were talking about veterans who are still able to perform at the highest levels of the sport. Faber is one of those.

You know, I've seen this guy on the World Series of Poker before so it really seems like if you have the skills to win a shitload of money gambling legitimately you wouldn't risk everything by cheating:

He could go play some poker and pick up some cash pretty easily.

There's no such thing as gambling and easy.

Mike and Worm could go clean out some college kids without a lot of trouble.
