Cool Runnings you won't understand why he did that if you don't watch any of his other fights. Faber pulls shit like that out of his ass all the time, and it works for him most of the time.
Here's a fun one for you, someone grabbed his leg for a single leg and Faber brought the other leg up, kneed to guy in the face and stayed standing. Sound familiar? That's cause Mir tried it against Lesnar and got fucekd up.
