Miguel Torres Wants Urijah Faber for 'Bragging Rights'

Quote :: It wasn't all that long ago that Urijah Faber and Miguel Torres were the unquestioned kingpins of the under 145lb MMA world. Faber was the WEC featherweight champ from 2006 to late 2008. Torres was the WEC bantamweight champ from February 2008 to August 2009 and was a staple of top 10 pound-for-pound lists.

Now both men are coming off losses in the UFC's bantamweight division. Faber lost a unanimous decision to champion Dominick Cruz at UFC 132 and Torres dropped a decision to Demetrious Johnson at UFC 130.

Torres spoke to ESPN and told them he thinks its time for he and Faber to meet in the cage:

"Now, there's only bragging rights," Torres told ESPN.com. "He's coming off a loss. I'm coming off a loss. He's had four title shots since then. He lost twice to Mike Brown, to Jose Aldo and now to Dominick Cruz. I lost fights to one of his students [Joseph Benavidez] and Brian Bowles

Now that would be a great fight! I could definitely see Faber taking a decision, similar to how Johnson did. But Faber would probably do more damage from guard

Faber UD or TKO.

Agreed, I think Faber could take him down and over whelm him. Torres hasn't looked as good as he once did in some time now.
