I agree...he is building the WEC Brand as just that, the stepping stone.
He is a little cocky...and up until this point, he's rolled through everyone and has the right to be. At least he was very respectful against Pulver...you have to give him that. And it was mutual.
If I had to guess, he'll put another fight or two in at WEC and if he's smart, move to 155 and get in UFC...then really prove himself. Pulver was his best competition so far...and he is past his prime. But he dominated him, no questions about it.
I don't like Faber outside the ring, he is full of himself, etc. But in the ring...he's explosive and innovative, the fact he has a pretty impressive striking game is good to see. I've never seen anyone get tied up with a leg and get a knee to the midsection like he did two fights (maybe 3) ago...that was awesome.
I agree with ya though, he needs to close the WEC chapter and step up. He could put on 10 lbs no problem.....
