Man I wish Faber never broke his hand against Brown.

He praised Zuffa but also kinda called them cheap asses all in the same interview. haha

When it comes to Fruitrition?

BOONDOCK Says, in 6-30-2009 at 11:44:56 from 24.192.99.157

Urijah is a stud! had no complaints or excuses. gives props to Mike Brown i hope he fights for a long time.

Should fight Torres at 135 instead of talking about maybe fighting BJ at 155 (he’d lose either fight, but probably have some “good” excuses)

fruitrition…hilarious…still an awesome fighter though.

NHB7 Says, in 6-30-2009 at 13:11:41 from 76.103.147.185

I’d love to see him leave WEC after his last fight and just wreck shop in Japan. But that dream will probably never come to frutrition.

J.R. Ewing Says, in 6-30-2009 at 13:14:01 from 91.155.130.27

The outcome of that fight was as legit as any other win or loss. There was a turn of events that led to him breaking his hand and losing. That is what happens. Maybe he threw a shot wrong, maybe Brown ducked at the right time. Playing the “what if” -game is the most useless thing in the world.
And Mr. Hairy Balls Chin California got his ass handed to him.

Juggling a lot of balls?! @_@

Faber is a cool guy in the way that he doesnt complain or whine or make excuses for when he loses. I respect that in a fighter, someone who can take their losses like a man. He also seems like a cool guy in general, which amounts to making him one of my favorite fighters. I wanna see him fight BJ in the UFC though, but i doubt that will ever come to ” fruitrition”. xD

onewayticket Says, in 6-30-2009 at 14:39:26 from 208.179.123.11

Brown is there to stay. no one could have beaten Faber….but Brown did it twice….whats next for Brown?

Drew Says, in 6-30-2009 at 16:01:20 from 207.210.26.156

Class act.

MMAMessiah Says, in 6-30-2009 at 16:56:31 from 66.60.145.16

Very eloquent post J.R. Ewing, you idiot. Just because “things happen” doesn’t mean fans don’t have the right to ask, “What if?” Especially when a guy breaks his hands and looses no less than 3 submissions because of it. I would hardly say he got his ass handed to him.

f3dor Says, in 6-30-2009 at 18:17:48 from 75.92.196.250

who is gonna pay PPV for Faber??? not me

Niv Says, in 6-30-2009 at 19:10:49 from 174.1.55.243

I have tons of respect for this guy, I look forward to Faber vs Brown III.

I have to give credit to this guy’s heart even though he was beat fair and square, them’s the breaks (pardon the pun).

Good interview. Faber is just kind of a say it like it is kind of guy and it’s refreshing. I like that he calls the money into question, but keeps it from sounding like he’s whining. Hope he gets back together and gets a good fight soon.

zebo13 Says, in 7-1-2009 at 01:38:23 from 66.58.169.154

Honestly IMO, when a fighter breaks his hand hitting an opponent, I see it as them just not being as hard inside and out as that opponent. Mike Brown is a pale farmhand fucking ox, Faber is a pretty boy beach kid. Brown is just too fuckin raw for pretty boy to hang with. I mean c’mon, he mangled both his hands just trying to tangle with him.

J.R. Ewing Says, in 7-1-2009 at 02:17:53 from 88.115.194.213

I am from Dallas and you will respect my true and honest opinion! Fans have no right to ask “what if?”, it is moronic. Just ask my brother Bobby. If Faber was ever to fight haar in Taxas, we would rip those balls off his chin and sow them where they belong.

J.R. out.

zeusworks Says, in 7-1-2009 at 09:19:35 from 74.73.228.26

He’s going to clean out the 145 division. It will be fun to watch!

fruitrition lol

Dave is the best MMA interviewer in the business. Something about the dood…

paddedummy Says, in 7-1-2009 at 15:34:49 from 96.20.145.49

The fruitrition thing wouldn’t have been that bad if he didn’t refer to himself as an athlete/SCHOLAR in the same interview. A guy who weighs less than my girlfriend should not have a clothing line called alpha male either

HA!

Shut up, no one cares about your Texan opinion. What does it say of Brown who couldn’t FINISH a guy with a broken hand and dislocated thumb? Until you start making logical sense, please, keep your Texan opinion to yourself. HAHAHAHA

MMAMessiah Says, in 7-1-2009 at 18:07:31 from 66.60.145.16

J.R. Ewing says

“Just ask my brother Bobby”

Oh, well if your brother says so, then never mind. You fucking moron. Your opinion doesn’t mean shit, because you are amongst an illogical minority that somehow believes two broken hands don’t affect a fight.
Brown is awesome, I don’t take anything away from him, but let the hick town bias go and try to look at things subjectively

MMATKO ME Div. Says, in 7-2-2009 at 14:39:42 from 76.179.174.3

I personally know Mike Brown and what zebo13 says is absolutely true. It’s nothing against Faber as a fighter, it’s just the way their bodies were built. See, I live in Bangor, about 5 minutes from Marcus Davis’ gym. Ever since Sylvia came outta’ here (bartending about 15 minutes away), the guys around here have had something to turn to. There’s just so much farming and crap going on, and there’s no night life. So a lot of us “hicks” just turn to MMA. Mike Brown, the earlier Tim Sylvia, Tim Boetsch, Marcus Davis. I mean, look at it! These guys here are just built solid, and most of them have an attitude to boot. And I’m not talking about all of us, just the MMA fighters here. When this is ALL you have, you just somehow seem to pull it out better. Brown will beat Faber any day of the week. It’s a mismatch.

Fkin Hologram Says, in 7-3-2009 at 17:33:00 from 72.195.133.239

Haha i laugh at mmatko Me DIV. faber was doing good in that fight i bet u if they fought again faber would win…

Mike Says, in 7-7-2009 at 04:28:52 from 24.42.127.185

I’m not taking anything from Mike Brown but, Faber actually beat himself in the first fight by doing that stupid gay move and getting caught and breaking his hands on Brown’s hard head on the second. Brown is a solid fighter with great strength, but he’s just too raw and unrefined. He’s too stiff and really slow with no upper body movement needed for the striking game. If Brown’s handlers are stupid enough to agree to fight a fight with Aldo, you’ll see what I mean.

3rd coast kid Says, in 8-15-2009 at 13:24:37 from 209.183.51.248

Faber has ruled the featherweight division for so long. U can expect him to do craxy moves that put him in bad positions. And he will go down in history for the most dominant feather weight of all time. Yeah true mma fans that have unbiased opinions can play what if games all they want. That guy from dallas is a doosh I’m from houston, don’t let hillbilly cowboy fans change ur opinions on tx. But anyways. Brown has not been impressive or proved to any one why he is champ. In the words of frank mir. Brown is still trying to set up legitamacy in the eyes of the casual fan. Brown will still be trying ten fights from now. It sucks urijah broke his hand and could not choke out the sherminator look alike in his 500 attempts that with good hands would of eneded the fight so quickly. And mike brown is still trying to convince fans he’s worth more than the turd my dog left in ur front yard. Its quite sad really u can finish off a one handed opponent. Faber for president
