WEC thread fight

Chill. :yep

That was an impressive win, but just...slow it down.

 

And Cung Le?

Quite possibly.

 

Hahah. It was a fun weekend of fights. Have a good week, all.

 

His eye socket has to be fractured.

 

I think so, too. Especially the way he kept putting his hand up to it. That **** was making me grimace.

 

I think he's definitely in that league. He's got the exact same problem that Silva and GSP have now: who the hell do I fight?

 

Can you watch this on Sopcast anyone?

 

I was pulling hard for Pulver, but I thought he looked a little old. I thought the same thing in the Penn rematch. He shows the same signs as old boxers; they get in position to punch and then they just dont' pull the trigger. There were times when Faber was in a bad spot either off balance or at a bad angle and Pulver couldn't capitalize on it. He just wouldn't throw. His punches didn't have the snap they used to either and he seemed to be pushing a bit.

Still, Faber looked great. I don't know who is out there for him now. Who else is on top of the 145ers? Without Frank Edgar or someone else coming down, who can hang with the kid?

 

I totally agree with Wilhelm. There were quite a number of times where I wanted Pulver to pull the trigger and he just wouldn't. Meanwhile, that right hand from Faber was on quick-fire all night. That **** was devastating.

 

I wish Tyson Griffin coule get down to 145.

 

Jens didn't pull the trigger enough, because Faber hit him with enough right hooks to make him hesitate.... plus he respected Faber too much, I think. It's understandable, because Faber can do so much. Then again, Faber definitely altered his style, out of respect to Pulver. It wasn't until the banging started to show on Jens' face that Faber started to come out of his shell - as it regards taking it to the ground.

 

Great night of fights. Torres/Maeda round 2 was one of the best rounds in MMA I have seen in sometime.

 

After a night to sleep on last night and let my emotions calm down a bit, I must say...that was still an AWESOME card

I think I like watching the WEC more than any other organization, their "big brother" UFC included.

I like the production value: it's simple. I like Frank Mir's insight. He's a little bit too excited at times ("Oh, it's in so deep he's not getting out!"....then the guy gets out), but he knows his stuff. I like the lower weight classes. These guys bring it and their cardio consistently holds up.
