    Anyone else catching this for free on Versus tonight? I'm going to be flipping back and forth between the fight and Game 2. Should be a great fight. I can't really make any predictions, but I would be interested in seeing y'all's takes.

    It's going to be a great fight. Brown's power is outstanding. He caught Faber last time after Faber's missed spinning elbow. Faber is the more complete fighter and if he fights smart, he should win.

    What in the **** was Faber trying to do throwing all those wild ass elbows and blind punches?

    He landed a couple of solid punches, should have been more patient.

    All Brown had to do was land one to the jaw his **** was done.

    Faber fighting with a broken hand. Kid showed alot of heart but he just cant win with one hand against a fighter like Brown. What a shame, he looked damn good in the first round before he broke his hand

    It really sucks that Faber broke his hand. He could have pulled it out, but Brown has got this.

    Really surprised that Brown couldn't finish off a one handed Faber. All he was doing was throwing elbows

    I want Faber to get another shot. Too bad his hand but the fact that he was able to change his style and go with elbows for five rounds is awesome.

    i think faber's left was jacked up too. he kept throwing those open handed strikes and i can't see any reason why he would do that unless his left hand was messed up too.

    Fabers right hand looked like a bigass crab after he took off the gloves.

    I was listening to one of Carmichael Dave's latest interviews with Ron Artest and he mentioned the Faber vs. Brown fight. He said he he had a broken hand, which we all knew, but he also said he had dislocated his other hand. Now I'm sorry, but this guy is just bad-ass to be fighting in an MMA fight where he breaks one hand in the 1st round and apparently dislocates his other hand (I think it was his thumb) 2 or 3 rounds later and goes the whole fight.

    Faber talks about the injuries and shows x-rays of his broken hand and the dislocated hand in the videos here :
