Both were Champs in their divisions and considered to be top p4p fighters at the time and this was a much sought after superfight that WEC fans wanted and discussed regularly. Looking back now, how do you think this fight would have gone?
Torres career obviously took a nosedive after Brian Bowles took his soul, and Faber remained a top 10-15 fighter in his division until he retired.
Torres was considered to be dangerous standing and off of his back at the time so Faber would have had to stand and strike with the taller, longer striker, or try and utilize a takedown heavy approach, which would have been considered risky with how active Torres was off his back.
Faber had very strong top control and utilized a lot of elbows and active gnp, so it could have ended up with Torres on his back looking for subs the whole time and striking from the bottom like when he got robbed against Mighty Mouse, or they could have kept the fight standing, where Torres was probably the more versatile striker, but Faber may have had the speed and power advantage.
