One of the GOAT fantasy matchups that never happened. When Urijah was considered the best FW in the world and dominant fight there was a contingent that thought Kid was superior. Both were alltime great FWs in their primes, Urijah kills Kid in longevity and had a great BW career while Kid was never the same following the injuries post 2007 but had 2 b2b BW wins against Bibiano (whos one of the best BWs in the world now, Urijah also beat Bibiano 2/3 losses) and Yahya who was a top 3 BW in the world when Kid smashed him. Urijah certainly ranks higher historically for careers, but at their peaks its a discussion.
Some people have different opinions on when Faber was at his best, seen some say 06-07 and some say 2013. Ill let u guys decide what u think is his peak, he definitely beats Kid in longevity. But Kid was something special from 03-07.
Hes one of the very few fighters in MMA history who hold top 10 wins in at least 3 different weight classes.
14-1, 12 finishes, 9 knockouts. "Loss" was a doctor stoppage off a cut in 30 secs not really legit
Wins over
- Jeff Curran (top 5 FW)
- Tetsuo Katsuta (top 5 FW, had gotten a decision over Pequeno who was the best FW in the world but lost to him a hematch)
- savaged Genki Sudo in the 1st round, who was easily a top 10 LW at the time and wouldve been very close if not top 5 had he not gotten robbed in UFC by Bang Ludwig in one of the WOAT decisions (also KOd Uno and Royler to win LW GP)
- Rani Yahya (top 5-10 BW)
Also destroyed Jadamba in 2 minutes but it was his debut, his only knockout loss still and hes one of the better FWs outside the UFC these days. KOd Miyata in 4 seconds.
