Maybe to a promoter Curran is the underdog but I don't see it this way. Curran (who I ve seen fight live a few times) has a plethroa of experience and an aresenal the US Government would be jealous of. Also, Curran I can gurantee you this is training harder, faster, stronger than Faber who seems to me that he has/will get caught up in the lime-light. I too agree with the forementioned about the Versus network, although we do get it here in the Chicagoland a lot of people do not but as stated above Zuffa is most likely trying to attract a different demographic. PS: I would be going to the fight on the 12th, however my wife is due with my son on Nov. 25. I am excited about the December 12 fight Faber vs. Curran.

What is also funny, is that a lot of people keep complaining.."..oh, the Versus channel is buried in the 600's..." Not sure what package that is? But, Versus on dish network is located right in between ESPNU & the NFL Network, and is in the same area as all the other ESPN sports channels, makes sense that way. I have no complaints about Versus. “…I understand the concerns about them being on Versus, but they do a real good job promoting it on the station and a good job with the live shows.

WEC is promoting their next fight to be 12.12.07. Which seems like a hell of a long time away when they're just coming off of Two cards exactly a month a part. I guess we'll get more info in the up coming month or so. I would have also liked to seen Cowboy Cerrone. I was impressed with him in the Tapout episode. Plus the triangle he threw was from side control or something obsurd like that. I’m still wondering what Razor Rob meant by his next fight being Nov 9th.

He let the Razor fight go on way way too long. How many more fights does Herb Dean have to screw up? Someone please fire Herb Dean. He let the Razor fight go on way way too long.

The distrubution is weird, because I don't know anyone here in NY that doesn't get vs. I am actually surprised people still don't get that channel, it comes with the basic cabel pkg here. I'll take Razor Rob and Beebe. Miguel Torres debut as well in a good fight. Definitely good news for the WEC.

He has the tools to push Faber and I think he will be the new champ. Curran has been training for this fight with Faber for some time now.

So people who'd be watching hunting/fishing/extreme sports/cartoons/blah blah blah get touched. I've been working in marketing too long, I need a new fuckin job.

I wouldn't be blown away if Crunkilton pulls off an upset though. I'm not sure, but I believe Brian Stann might have been in the Air Force or Coast Guard or something. It's hard to hear anything about it. Jeff Curran-Urijah Faber would be an interesting matchup. Any chance of ever seeing a Tyson Griffin-Faber rematch? I picked…McCullough and Yayha. hmph.

Why did they renew with such an obscure partner? What a shame, there is no way for me to watch the WEC other than downloading the shows via the internet.
