SAN JOSE, Calif. – Former WEC champ Brian Bowles sounds like he’s headed to a high-school P.E. class rather than a professional, no-quarter-given cage fight.

“Some people are going to be popular, and some people aren’t,” Bowles said today in advance of his meeting with Urijah Faber at Saturday’s UFC 139 event, which takes place at HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif.

In four years under the big lights, Bowles has struggled to find an audience. Now, it sounds a little like he’s giving up looking.

Mizugaki at UFC 132, and Johnson had beaten Miguel Torres at UFC 130.
