    Faber to 135lbs and 155lbs! Empty Faber to 135lbs and 155lbs!

    Faber just said that he wants to fight at both 135 and 155lbs too. He says he wants to go to the UFC! He doesnt think that he is suited to 155lbs but talked about a rematch with Tyson Griffin.

    If he beats Aldo or even if he doesnt a fight it Miguel Torres would be a huge deal, Daber vs Torres and Aldo are both P4p top fighters fighting (If Torres wins) Torres is someone I always forget to mention as one of my favorite fights, the guy is as active as Nick Diaz.

    I dunno if Faber will beat Aldo, he was top 5 p4p ranked before if he can win there could be a big fight at 155 for him in the UFC. Maby Edgar? Thats fair enough size wise.

    He says he really has to work to maintain Bulk at 145lbs though so I dont see 155lbs as a future for him but Bowles or Torres at 135lbs and 155lbs fights, few ones im looking forward to.

    What do people see for him at 155lbs? Griffin rematch? Gomi/Kflo looser if they put him in a high level fight?

    Griffin will beat him again, moving to 155 would be a mistake for him IMO. He should stay in WEC.

    Yeah too small for 155. But at 135 he'd be a beast! Fights with Bowles and Torres would be epic.

    If I was stuck in WEC, I'd want to go to UFC too even if it meant fighting up a weight. I'd bet Faber and a couple of others want much better paydays, and that's not happening anytime soon with WEC.

    haha Harsh and straight to the point red! Laughing

    Not even Edgar or one of the Smaller guys? Sherk? or maby someone lower ranked even for his first step up? They really gave Anderson an easy fight when he changed weights. Im sure there are some lower ranked Lw's he could make a good fight with, Paul Kelly and him or Denis Siver and him would work well... Make great fights and would make Faber a star in UFC to win the type of war they could bring.

    Bowles is similar size to Faber, Fuck Checked and he is bigger. Taller, Rangier, as heavy set, he is some weight cutter!! Yeah Too Small for UFC, even against lower ranked guys though?

    Id love to see Torres back on track he is a figher that could put on a few pounds and step up in weight class, Aldo vs Torres would be outstanding if both were champs? Thats the Ideal senario for me.

    Edgar belongs at 145. He'd be a good fight for Faber.

    Faber is a talented fighter, im sure he can hold his own against some of the lower guys at the division, but 155 is not his weight class. The only reason he should consider it, is what KJ said, to get into the bigger audience and bigger money with UFC.

    Maybe he can try to bulk, to get into the UFC and remain a force?

    Faber shouldn't worry about anyone besides Aldo right now.

    Aldo is someone id like to see at 155 in the UFC if he continues to show this kind of promise. Aldo is a wrecking machine, and at only 22 he has a lot of time to put the weight on.
