Faber's Power Is As Good As Ever

Urijah Faber has twice as many submission wins as he does knockouts, but against Brian Bowels he proved that his record doesn't tell an accurate story.

Faber's striking (both in terms of technique and power) is better than his record would indicate.

Faber's Guillotine Is Something Else

Urijah Faber (and Team Alpha Male in general) is known to have a great guillotine, but it's surpassed that.

Faber's amazingly slick guillotine of Bowles proved that Faber has the submission perfected; it's truly something else.

He Wasn't Overrated

After losing to Mike Brown, Jose Aldo and Dominick Cruz, there was talk that Faber might have been overrated by the vast majority of MMA fans.

By dismantling Bowles so quickly, Faber proved all of his critics wrong; "The California Kid" wasn't overrated at all.

He Will Probably Be Fighting Dominick Cruz Again

After beating a former champion in Brian Bowles so easily, it's likely that Faber will be given another shot at UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz to close out their trilogy.
