If you woke up today with the intention of seeing an x-ray of a broken rib, you should probably see your nearest psychiatrist. You're a disturbed human being and if you ever see me on the street, let me know who you are by getting on all fours and walking across the street like a giraffe. That will be the only way I can identify you.

We know you want to see this picture of Urijah Faber's broken rib, but your girlfriend has been interrupting your Monday afternoon with tales of her problematic life. Here's a tip, just occasionally make eye contact, nod your head throughout, and add phrases like 'Damn, that's crazy!' when she finishes a complete thought. She will think that you are listening, and thus you will come off as a far more compassionate person than what you truly are. With that obstacle placed behind you, take a look at this x-ray of Faber's broken rib, an injury that he sustained in the first round of his interim title fight at UFC 149. 'Tough as nails' doesn't even describe this guy. [Source]

Faber sucks! He'll never win a belt ever again. When he punches, his hands crumble. When he gets kneed, his ribs buckle.

Meh. I like Faber but it wouldn't have made a difference. Age has caught up to him at this point. AT no point was he winning the fight or even looking threatening. He will make a good gatekeeper for the division.

He landed well and you could argue won rounds against the future of the division.
How a decision to barao knocks him back to gatekeeper makes no sense.

He just seems brittle at this point. I think Renan could have got a stoppage if he threw more leg kicks. Faber is practically defenseless against that technique. The guy is .500 in his last 10 fights. Yes he fought the best but he showed that he can no longer hang with the top guys. I wouldn't shell out another $55 for a Faber main event title fight. TO each his own though. You'll see in due time. Or maybe you're just into the butt chin(not hating, do your thing papi).

When you said he won rounds are you talking about the Barao fight? I wouldn't necessarily relegate him to gate keeper, but it's obvious he isn't in Barao's league. Unfortunately for Faber the title holders @ 145/135 (aside from ZCruz) are clearly superior fighters. He could fight Barao 10 times and would likely lose all 10

I hope Urijah knocks on your door like Jay and Silent bob did to all those internet shit talkers and just has his way with your computer chair basement dwelling ass picking nerdy virgin face. Geek.

Those discounting Faber's ability to still hang with the best are crazy imo. I have had bruised ribs that kept me out of bjj training for a month. This dude clean breaks his rib in the first round, fights through it, and is criticized for not being as sharp as he use to be? Was he as sharp as he use to be when he dominated and finished Bowles? Bowles is a beast and Faber made it looks easy. Was he as sharp when he repeatedly knocked own Cruz and barely lost a close decision? Renan is a lethal fighter, no doubt. Ando sooner or later the beatings Faber has taken WILL catch up. But to question whether or not Faber would have fought any better without a broken rib? Craziness! For reals. Go break a rib and see if you are even 20% as physically capable.

the broken rib is a walk in the park for him compared to how he broke his hand against Mike Brown.

yeah because a small bone in the hand breaking hurts more than your fucking ribs that are constantly in motion with every breath and unable to immobilize with a cast.

Bowles isn't in Barao's dimension. Faber is still a top feather/bantam, but we'd hsve to argue the distance between the top and Aldo/Barao are staggering

I love this guy, he always tried to validate his losses with tweets of his broken body parts...

From what my doctor has told me, that bubbly shadow stuff is feces. So he was fighting with not only a broken rib, but constipation. He's a trooper

Don't you mean he's a pooper.

Fixed.

Of course, my bad. On a similar note, if he took care of that, he could probably be fighting at flyweight.

I didn't think Faber would beat Barao, because he had absolutely no answer for Aldo. Unless he can fend off those pounding leg kicks, he will not beat either guy. He was very unlucky against Mike Brown and fought through more pain than any of us could handle.

A broken rib in round one may very well have made the difference. MAYBE he found a way to get through the leg kicks, but we'll likely never find out. A rib fracture is extremely painful just breathing and walking round, let alone fighting 20+ minutes at world class level. I work in medicine and I have seen displaced (his wasn't) rib fractures puncture lungs and other organs and KILL people. If the rib took more shots and was displaced, Faber risked his life. He's one bad dude, I just think his better days may be behind him.
