He's gonna be huge in the UFC
Assuming he can win his next couple on good size shows, he’s going to go right on with his heavy-drawing ways. I think he makes a really good ambassador for the sport.
Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.
Definitely. Even casuals knew who Urijah Faber was in the WEC. Hopefully he takes the BW Title and becomes somewhat of a draw.

Hoping they will put on a Faber season of TUF. Maybe him vs Torres as coaches. It could make for an interesting season.

Lovin that idea!
They both have personality and a decent amount of charisma, and both own their own gyms so should do well being coaches/leaders.
I'm the best ever. You're the most average in a minute.

fabers a future champ at 135
i dont see cruz getting through jorgensen and faber vs jorgensen is a nice matchup for urijah

It would be great if it played out that way, but I can see the Cruz formula being effective against Jorgensen, and in the larger UFC octagon, against Faber as well. Cruz is stronger and faster than he was when Faber fought him the first time, and Faber seems to have slowed down just a hair. That would be a toss-up for me. I agree that Faber should beat Scotty if they meet.
hmmm
i dunno, i want to see him fight at 135 first and see how the weight cut affects him.
