How is Faber a UFC co-main event on a ppv???
He's 3 and 3 in his last six fights.

different weight-class and who cares what order the fights are in?
how was Kimbo Slice on a pay per view card? It's simple... Faber has a fan base that will tune in. It's all about the $$$
DAT CHIN
Because Faber is one of the most exciting fighters that won't let the fans down.
I'm assuming you're mad because Joe Silva didn't give you a call instead.

Nice childish response.
I'm a fan of Faber it just seems odd that a fighter who is 3-3 in his last 6 fights gets to be the co-main event on a major ppv event.
If it's about being exciting and not letting the fans down how did Baroni get cut by the UFC?

The new, improved Baroni that was supposed to show up everytime was a disappointment

It's not a childish response at all.
Why not put a fighter who's 3-3 in his last 6 fights in there? He's exciting to watch, talented as hell and will bring it every single time.
Dana put in a washedup professional boxer with ZERO MMA experience as a co-main event. Toney fought, lost and then got paid more than most champions make lol.
Faber is fighting at a new weight class and he already toppled the champ once, finished him in fact. Held one of the most dominant championship runs in Zuffa history. Plus, I can't think of a more charismatic figure in MMA, frankly. He has the 'it' factor.
jimbobyeaboy - Zuffa has been shoving Faber down our throats for years, why would now be any different? He can lose this fight and still get a title shot six months later. <img src="/images/phone/post_tag.png" alt="Phone Post" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>
True that. Zuffa has owned the WEC for a looooong time now lol.

I like Faber he's an exciting fighter and very talented.
I get the sense he's Randy Couture 2.0 though, getting title shots over and over even if he doesn't deserve them.
the WEC keep promoting him like crazy even though he lost to brown twice and got humiliated by aldo for 5 rounds; they just acted like it never happened. it's just going to carry over to the UFC until he gets beat by cruz or possibly eddie this weekend.
Did Fabers mom admit to juicing?
Last 3 loss are to champs... Quit hating on the California kid
famous182 - Did Fabers mom admit to juicing?
lol, I saw that.
He's the biggest midget in the game.
joe bruce - stfu op and sit the fuck down
says the ICP fan
He puts asses in seats. Baroni ran out of excuses...
Former Champion, Number 1 contender fight, was the "face" of the WEC, exciting fights
also: Bisping/Rivera, Griffin/Franklin, Leban/Stann, Struve/McCorkle
Have been former co-main events......i'd much rather watch the Faber fight (no offense to any other fighters)

Faber is a cool guy that wins. Unless you're retarded but I guess you are or you wouldn't have said that.
3-3 in his last 6 fights
