Urijah Faber (21-1) def. Jens Pulver (22-9-1) to retain the WEC featherweight title via unanimous decision. There was no specific moment in a fight that promised a lot and delivered even more. In a shootout, Faber had the higher caliber weapons, but he couldn’t put Pulver away. Both men were tested both in recovery ability and guts as each had to come back from being hurt in taking shots that would have finished most fighters. Faber, the hometown favorite, connected more in a five-round battle of punches, kicks, knees and takedowns.

8 CommentsBrian Stann came in to present Tiffany, the winner of Hottest Chick Ugliest Scar contest, with the $5,000 prize, and Howard asked him about his two tours of Iraq. Brian said Artie and Gary shouldn’t be concerned about their safety over there during their USO tour, as they’ll be kept far from danger: “The casualty rate is so far down now.” Howard wondered how Brian was able to pleasure himself when he was over there, so Brian explained that he would make arrangements for private moments away from other marines: “That’s the key.”
Brian told Howard about earning the Silver Star in Iraq and once knocking a fellow cagefighter out inside of 16 seconds, so Howard said he felt emasculated by the presence of a real man: “You are so much more of a man than I am. I’m going to go put on a little sundress, heels and a bra.” Brian then congratulated Tiffany on her prize and positive attitude, and Tiffany announced that she’d use the money for driving school.
