If Urijah Faber gets past Jens Pulver on June 1st and continues to run through the competition in the 145-pound division, the former UC Davis wrestler will be open to changing weight classes.
"I've had talks about going up to 155 and I've had talks about going down to 135," Faber told the ESPN Florida radio show Between The Ropes. "If it's a super fight and for the right money I'll fight anybody. Right now I'm taking it one fight at a time and there are still a lot of challengers out there at 145."
Faber (20-1), the WEC's 145-pound champion, is considered one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world, which has often led him to be compared to another lighter weight fighter, and that's Norifumi "KID" Yamamoto (17-1).
"I think it's something that can happen," Faber said. "I hear he's at 135 now. I would have no problem dropping down to 135 to fight the big fights down there. That's a fight that everyone wants to see and I'd love to make it happen."
The likelihood of Faber fighting Yamamoto is a long shot, but it's not entirely impossible. The WEC allowed Rani Yahya, a former WEC bantamweight number one title contender, to fight Yamamoto at "K-1 Premium 2007 Dynamite!!" last New Year's Eve.
