Undercard
yeh, except NOBODY watches VERSUS. Ask the NHL, which basically committed suicide by aligning with that crap network.
the main event was a great fight…mabye its time for dana to set up shop somewhere else for the wec other than versus.. cause these weightclasses are damn exciting…
tonights card was def better than last nights but it was also better than the last ufc card too….
It was a great fight. uriah dominated the fight from start to finish. Pulver is a warrior but I dont think he could handle uriahs speed and quickness.
Kogepan I don’t watch Versus in Canada. Thank god TSN carried the live event without interuption. Hopefully WEC stays on TSN for awhile know.
I also have to say pulver was very classy in defeat.
How can Pulver not get knocked out????? Insane!
Faber, Pulver and Torres amazing. THANKS WEC, I would have easily paid $40 for that fight… but it was free… sweeeeet
Excellent card . Go WEC! All the fights were enjoyable. The Torres fight rocked, and Faber vs Pulver was a fight that lived up to the hype. With the sport being what it is, we don’t always get to see fights that live up to expectations. This one was great. I would have liked to see Jens pull out the win but I don’t think he lost any respect last night. Jens would also probably destroy any of the other FW. So how about Torres moves up to 145 and we get a superfight with Torres and Faber?
Fantastic, exciting card last night. The final 2 fights were probably the best I have seen this year. Maeda/Torres was just non-stop action, I almost thought at times it was on fast forward. I do hope they plan a rematch.
Faber/Pulver: I was rooting for Jens, but thought Faber would win but after the pre-fight interviews I really listened to what Jens was saying, and had me believing that he was going to win.He said so matter of factly, “I want that belt”, “I need that belt”. I was drawn in hook, line and sinker, Jens is gonna win this fight. Though he didn’t win, he sure hung in there. Faber is phenomenal, props to him. Love Jens though. I do hope to see a rematch of these 2 as well.
Just a super show to watch. Thanks WEC. When it was over, I found myself sitting there just smiling, alone, sitting on the couch thinking, “oh my gosh, that was crazy good”.
I did not see one go-go dancer, did anyone else?
“Evan: Mark Munoz has my attention. That was awesome as well as the main events!!!”
definitely. although it looks like the dude could be fighting at 185 no problem.
and this would probably never happen, but why doesn’t tito sign with the wec? he’s apparently in love with the fertitta brothers, and only wants out of the ufc because of dana (who if i understand correctly, doesnt have as much control in the wec). if he fought there, he’d be a big fish, and be able to prolong his career a bit longer. not that i really care to see him fight, but it might make sense. seems to have revitalized pulver’s career.
pulver should definitely be moved up in the rankings, i dont know if there is another featherweight that can beat him, he will be the gatekeeper for faber until faber/pulver 2, outstanding display of standup and heart, kudos men, torres/maeda all i can say is WOW, elitexc is just plain bad for the sport, but i do have to say i was pretty impressed with the ladies, as well as the lawler/smith brawl, but thats all it was
Yeah Pulver definitely needs to be higher ranked in the featherweight top 10. Especially with so many of those other featherweight top 10′ers inactive.
i really do think that Torres/Maeda outs Alvarez/Hansen.. so.. if you ask me, we have a new FOTY on our hands..
