WEC is getting better, and I'm a fan of their lightweight division.

I find myself hearing what he says, then rewinding to see exactly what he's talking about. When Miguel Torres was bustin out those crazy transitions, Frank Mir "WOW!!" Priceless.

I read snippits from people complaining about it but I don’t get the whole story. It seems like you can show some MMA but this is only recent" pretty well all of the shows are televised you just have to know what channel it's on, "WEC" was on TSN at about 1am. “What’s the deal with MMA being broadcast in Canada?

It kinda sucks up here becaus for some reason MMA events don't show up on my guide or anything when they are on cable. I got lucky and surfed and caught the last hour.

Too bad it wasn't aired in Canada. I don't know if it's the production or the athletes, but WEC fighters seem to "want" it a lot more than some of the UFC guys that are just trying to eek out a win by not losing, rather than taking risks to finish the fight. To me it's not as much about who wins, but if it's an exciting fight. I couldn't agree more about the production of WEC. UFC is extremely cheesy with that stupid 10 year old back to back limp bizkit songs and the corny opera drama crap or any of their other overplayed songs. Their constant ad-whoring is extremely annoying. If I'm paying 40 or 50 bucks to buy a PPV event I don't care about what the new video game is or what the "hot" new movie is (as a general rule I don't watch movies advertised in UFC events). This is a little off topic but every promotion should take a lesson from the recent Cage Rage event, their camera work was GREAT. Nobody else in MMA seems to be able to operate a boom camera in a useful fashion, which is sad because when it's done right it gets you right into the action (without looking through a stupid fence). Also I think the cage should, does it really need to be 6 or 7 feet high? This costs alot of camera angles. This was a great show! Too bad it wasn’t aired in Canada.
