I don't know but she should replace ufc's arianny! JK I'll take both please!
Agreed. There's nothing left for him to do at FW.
all viable 145lbers have truly been decimated. Its silly now. They are going to throw Grispi in next? Why?
Poor bastard.
I agree except for Faber. He's great at 145 and we'll soon see how prosperous he is at 135, but he's not big or fast enough for 155. Aldo is again a given at 155 and Henderson/Cerrone would be interesting...
Not sure if Cerrone was on another level or Varner has slipped down four levels.....Henderson made short work of Cerrone in their rematch. Would just love to see more of Aldo's skills, just no one seems to be able to really test him. I think with time Mike Brown could be the one. Fighting lefty, at least his left leg would be back and less of a target for Aldo. He also has the power to hurt Aldo. I don't think Faber has the frame/bone structure to be competitive at 155.
Faber fought at 155 once and got his ass handed to him.
Haha she should but ya I agree both please.I don't know but she should replace ufc's arianny! JK I'll take both please!
Pretty good fights. Jamie's lost his touch... or Donald is just that improved
Agreed Man aldo is just killing the competition. Him in the UFC at 155 would be interesting. Him in the WEC is just not fair.
Ya Faber would die at 155 in the UFC. He is just too small.
You mean Henderson/Cerrone III?
Oh yeah! I almost checked that but I was in class. I dont know if cerrones take down defense got better but it was great seeing him shoot for some take downs and jsut mixing it up gonig for a take down then poppin up for some strikes. Jamie didnt know what to think I loved it.
Ya u have to play the odds that a person who fights for a living has been through some tough times. Of course there r the exceptions as with anything. But ya he was def an interesting guy to follow at this point in his career.
You gotta mix it up once in a while, you know? A couple of guys nearly got in the way when i snapped the pic
She was smiling at me cuz i was making obscene gestures. She wants it.
tits for daysYou gotta mix it up once in a while, you know? A couple of guys nearly got in the way when i snapped the pic
Did it say no going back and forth? Those are all the WEC's biggest names, certainly will make the 155 class not as exciting... still great fighters in the division don't get me wrong. Cerrone is as much the golden boy for WEC as Faber.
I'd rather watch WEC than about 90% of the fights they have in the UFC.
This is true. Just compare for example the Leonard Garcia/Chan Sung Jung which was not a headliner, to the headliner Mir/Crocop. WEC guys put their heart and soul into each fight. I don't remember the last time i was bored watching WEC, but UFC on the other hand I can remember maybe 2 this year where the entire card was great.
Cruz/Benavidez was pretty boring, but that's the only title fight I can think of since I've been watching WEC that was anywhere near boring.
I hear you. As a broad stroke presumption, when males idolize other men/heros in a masculinity sense, as MMA is, males prefer to idolize men more masculine then themselves. Being 215lbs and respectfully solid myself, it took me awhile to acclimate to the WEC, because an overwhelming number of their fighters were the size of little kids to me. However, it wasn't until I gave it a chance and realized how technical and fast pace WEC matches were that I became interested and learned to appreciate it for its display of MMA talent. Nonetheless, there are only a select few that I'm actually a fan of, like Cerrone, Benderson and Aldo. I didnt' get into the WEC until after Miguel Torres' "downfall," so I never got a chance to like him, though historically, he is one of WEC's golden boys.
It looks like both Aldo's and Florian's camps are pushing for a fight:
Damn, Kenny's got balls and that'd be a great fight. In my mind, if they were officially set to fight, I'd be less excited about the fight itself, as I'd already have picked Aldo to win, but I'd be more excited about the idea of Aldo in the UFC and some of the more elite fights that could go down. Of course I'm being ridiculously biased and presumptuous, but Kenny doesn't come off as the sniper death by low kicks assassin killer that Aldo is, imho.
I hear you, but as long as WEC is a profitable business, I don't foresee a full-on merger occurring. Although, I'd nut my pants over a Cerrone, Bendo, Aldo on the same card as a lot of the other UFC elites. I think certain fighters in the WEC have outgrown either in celebrity or sheer talent that the stage that WEC canprovide and needs/deserves to be on the mainstage at the UFC.
I came back to re-quote you because you called it. Apart from Dana's official annoucement of the UFC getting their own network, Dana has also announced that the WEC and UFC shall merge.
Yeah, that pissed me off. Aldo calls himself the world's number 2 p4p, but he's either too scared to fight KenFlo or his ego is already so big that he feels he deserves a Maynard, Penn or Edgar as a UFC debut.
U have to figure they will have paid programming going on, but the audience they attract would still be up later watching it. I wonder how it will work and if it will be on cable or some kind of crap u have to pay extra for.
I'm guessing more UFC or MMA related shows, like more documentaries on particular fighters, a more in depth prime time, like a leading up to the fight kind of series, BJJ clinics, who knows. I doubt they'll just be showing re-runs of UFC's all day.
Don't forget they own all of the PRIDE, WEC, WFA, etc. footage as well. There's plenty of material to use for them.
