Faber retires today, and he's not even the co-main event

[passtard]

I find it disgraceful that the California kid is retiring today, in California, and he's not headlining the event... How do you feel about having PVZ and Sage stealing Faber's spotlight?

 

[Maladroit]

He got about 12 titles shots during his career, he can't complain of anything

 

[Mixed]

It's a joke. The UFC has always treated him like shit.

PVZ headlining makes sense after the DWTS success. They are trying to give her a further push and the crowd at the weigh ins seemed to appreciate her.

Faber vs Pickett could definitely have been the co-main though.

 

[Sgt Smith]

People will still be there rooting for him en masse, doesn't matter where it falls on the card.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

In recent times, he's gone the way of Poke-Eye-Mon Jones with the skewering of his opponents eyeballs.

Ur-Eye-Out Faber FTW

 

[Philly253]

I don't question his main card slot but who's ahead of him.

 

[VinceArch]

It's a joke. The UFC has always treated him like shit.

No, he's had quite a few title shots.

 

[Goat St-Pierre]

He's fighting Brad Pickett who has lost 4 of his last 5 fights.

 

[effedup]

More disgraceful than Eddie Wineland and Mizugaki being on he early pre lims?

 

[hot carl]

wasnt stolen, dana gave it away.

 

[Rematch]

It's a joke. The UFC has always treated him like shit.

How? By giving him titleshots galore?

Ur-Eye-Out Faber FTW

Good point. That's a sorry stain on an overall distinguished career. I very much hope he eschews such tactics tonight.

 

[wonderbread]

Faber has been done ever since Brown knocked him out...

 

[MCS]

would be a nice gesture to honor his pioneer career in Sac by giving him at least co-main. That way you can still push a more favored main event. there has been next to no mention of him retiring, neither.

 

[Yari]

Feel bad for Faber too. He was always the butt of a joke.

 

[2GunTommy]

PVR headlining is a joke.
Although Faber hasn't exactly made a good case for making him the main event either .
Anyway WAR Faber. Hope he goes out with a win. One of my favorite fighters.
Deserves HOF imo.

Yeah. Always taking it on the chin.

 

[Rematch]

Yeah. Always taking it on the chin.

And never once did he ever try to save face when an uncomplimentary comment reared its ugly head.

 

[DonCarlos]

His last fight should be a main-event against Dillasnake
