Faber spoke about how excited he was to fight in front of his hometown, "its a comfort for me" said Faber feeling no pressure fighting at home. "Sunday we will see who deserves to wear this belt!" Both fighters spoke of the significance of this bout for the little guys and how even just a couple of years ago there was no place in the big shows for the little guys. The challenger Jens "Lil' Evil" Pulver spoke about his happiness to fight at his natural weight and how great it is to have a show this big supporting the smaller fighters. Pulver also stated how thankful he was about Faber staying at 145 and keeping the class alive. Pulver stated he will stay at 145. "This is my natural weight." said Pulver, "I love this weight."
