Especially with so many of those other featherweight top 10'ers inactive. Yeah Pulver definitely needs to be higher ranked in the featherweight top 10.

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. “Evan: Mark Munoz has my attention.

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?

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? Excellent card . Go WEC! All the fights were enjoyable.

The 2nd round of the fight was possibly the best round of MMA I have seen to date. That double heal hook was crazy. I didn't even realize that I had got up from my bed and was standing with my hands on my face! Torres is a bad-ass but Maeda is my new favorite bantamweight. does anyone know what happened at the weigh-ins? The announcers kept alluding to some confrontation. The Faber/Pulver fight was solid. I wanted Pulver to win just to see if Faber could be beat. Has Faber had any fights go past round 2 while he has had the belt? I like Faber but I will always root against him until he loses.
