    Also, anyone else getting a little tired of the WEC trying to force feed us Urijah Faber all the time?

    He's lost 3 of 5, simmer down a bit.

    He is to the WEC what Chuck Liddell was to the UFC the first major break out star with mass appeal.

    That's what they tell us but I think its debatable. He is a local star in Sacramento who has been pushed as the poster boy for the WEC but honestly I think guys like Pulver, Cerrone, and Aldo are just as popular now. And yeah I know Pulver is gone.

    Pulver is a legend and was on TUF opposite Penn he was not a home built star in the sense that Faber is/was. Honestly I think only Aldo is even debatable as being on the same level of stardom as Faber. Cerrone does not have that kind of following.

    What following? People know who he is but I have yet to meet a confessed Faber fan. I seriously think he is a star in Sacto but elsewhere is just someone who is a recognizable fighter. I think he is less popular than most of the guys that come from TUF--more people know who they are.
