WEC thread fight

[québecwarrior]

Who's watching it?
Fan are already booing the first fight...I hate these fans

[Tko4]

I had to turn my volume off. I can't stand listening to a bunch of drunken losers boo. Not the most exciting fight, no, but it's not like Kalib Starnes running around the cage.

[québecwarrior]

yeah..the white guy have good take down defence, I would like that he let his hand go a little more

[québecwarrior]

who's winning it?

[Tko4]

McCullough should get the UD, which nets me 10 points in the MMA prediction thread!

[québecwarrior]

you'r right

[Filmnpuck]

I'm so fucking stoked for Faber/Pulver.

[sugarngold]

Ooooh! Nice ending to that one! That'll teach ya to do a piss poor attempt at hooking in a leg lock. I suppose his corner will remind him after he wakes up.

[Tko4]

That Gribsby fella looked just about dead there. Those were some brutal punches.

[Tko4]

Ooooh! Nice ending to that one!

Yeah, that was some seriously cool stuff. Now, is that considered ground and pound? It was more like airborne pounding.

[québecwarrior]

brutal

[sugarngold]

Yeah, that was some seriously cool stuff. Now, is that considered ground and pound? It was more like airborne pounding.

I think it's called getting lucky when the other guy gets sloppy. In the end it got the job done. lol

[Tko4]

Yeah, haha. That wouldn't have worked against a better fighter, but it got the job done tonight.

[Beebs]

Mark Motherfucking Munoz!

Good god, this kid is going places. 4-0, trains with Urijah Faber.

Junior national champion freestyle wrestler, NCAA d1 champion, 5th in the world junior freestyle wrestler.

And he just pounded Chuck Grisby completely out.

[québecwarrior]

Why is Faber ain't in the UFC if he is THAT good?(noob question lol)is that because 155 is not for him?

[Filmnpuck]

Jeebus, nice KO from Munoz. (A guy that big is a tough assignment for your fourth MMA fight.)

[Tko4]

Why is Faber ain't in the UFC if he is THAT good?(noob question lol)is that because 155 is not for him?

Yeah, he fights below 155. UFC doesn't have a class below 155. It's just that simple.

[québecwarrior]

Yeah, he fights below 155. UFC doesn't have a class below 155. It's just that simple.
okay, thanks you! UFC should add 145 lbs!

[Tko4]

Jeebus, nice KO from Munoz. (A guy that big is a tough assignment for your fourth MMA fight.)
Yeah, and Grigsby has a slew of fights. Granted, they're not top notch competition, but he still has some seasoning to him. He's got a bunch of KOs and six submissions. So that, plus his awkward size, makes him a tough task for someone in their fourth fight.

[sugarngold]

Mark Motherfucking Munoz!

Good god, this kid is going places. 4-0, trains with Urijah Faber.

Junior national champion freestyle wrestler, NCAA d1 champion, 5th in the world junior freestyle wrestler.

Munoz definitely has a stong base on the ground - but his guard passing needs some work.

He played to his strengths in this fight and pounded out Grisby so he seems to be on the right track so far.

[Filmnpuck]

Why is Faber ain't in the UFC if he is THAT good?(noob question lol)is that because 155 is not for him?

I'm sure the WEC is paying him awfully well these days, that's why he's in the WEC.

Plus, UFC doesn't focus so much on the lighter weights. WEC has kind of come along and snatched up the elite fighters at lighter weights, it seems. That being said, I'm sure Dana White would just love to get him the UFC.

Before long though (especially if he wins tonight), either Faber's going to have make some joint-organization fights or other fighters from other organizations are going to have to come to him. There's really no one left in teh WEC for him to fight if he beats Pulver.

[Tko4]

Damn, how many hometown fighters are on this card?

[Filmnpuck]

Yeah, he fights below 155. UFC doesn't have a class below 155. It's just that simple.

I guess I never realized that the UFC just doesn't have a weight class lower than 155.

[sugarngold]

"Cowboy's coming and he's bringing hell with him!"

And we have our first nomination for quote of the night. lol

[Filmnpuck]

That's what you call a swift submission.

[Tko4]

Having freaky long legs on the bottom helps, eh? Nice Jits right there.

[québecwarrior]

wow, thats impressive

Ummm....you do realize that Zuffa and Dana White own WEC too?

[Filmnpuck]

I see Urijah's got the cornrows going tonight. He must have learned from Malignaggi because they're not long enough to require a between-round shearing. :lol:

[Filmnpuck]

iUmmm....you do realize that Zuffa and Dana White own WEC too?

See, I've always been told some other dude owned WEC.

I don't really follow that stuff too closely, obviously.

[Donut62]

Yeah, they bought it about 2 years ago (?) to showcase fighters in weight classes below 155. There just really isn't enough room in the UFC right now to add a bunch more weight classes, guys barely get 4 fights a year as it is.

[Filmnpuck]

Ah, they were purchased by Zuffa in 2006.

I stand corrected, good sir.

[sugarngold]

Torres should put on a good jiujutsu display.

:good

[Tko4]

Crazy good fight so far. A bit sloppy in spots, but we're getting action on the feet and on the ground. It's back and forth. It's got a bit of everything. This is refreshing!

[sugarngold]

Good fight so far!

[sugarngold]

Torres took the first round with effective ground control and effective aggression on the feet.

[sugarngold]

you have to turn the toes toward the head.

[québecwarrior]

Damn

[Filmnpuck]

Holy Shit Great Round.

[sugarngold]

This gets my vote for fight of the year so far.

[Tko4]

Man, I am loving this. The double heel hook was hilarious. Punches. High kicks. Foot stomps. Knees in the clinch. Axe kicks. Heal hooks. Guillotines. Rear naked chokes. Triangles. I've seen just about everything attempted in the last 6 minutes. Beautiful.

:good:good:good

[BlueApollo]

What a fight!

[Filmnpuck]

Might not see a round 4... that eye looks baaaaaaad.

[Tko4]

I'm hoping they let him fight on with that eye like that. We need a round 4!

[québecwarrior]

I love both of these kids,

REAL MMA STUFF

No shit. Definitely a little bit of everything so far. Torres is nasty.

[québecwarrior]

well good stoppage..hi eye is completly shut

[Tko4]

Awesome fight. Maeda couldn't see a thing out of that eye, so it was the right call. Still, I wanted to see more.

[BlueApollo]

Stopped due to the eye. Tough way to lose but the right call IMO.

[Filmnpuck]

Too bad for Maeda. The man came to fight. Torres poured it on in the third, though. One of the best MMA fights I've seen.

[Tko4]

That officially washed the bad taste out of my mouth from last night. And here I was thinking it would take a Gina Carano/Rachelle Leah pillow fight.

[sugarngold]

Great fight. Good stoppage. Despite what Apollo Creed said, there will be a rematch!

[BlueApollo]

Did Alexandre Nogueira fight already?

[québecwarrior]

a rematch is welcome !!!

[Filmnpuck]

And after all that we still have Pulver/Faber. Yeehah.

[Beebs]

Damn, Fight of the year candidate, Round of the year too.

Miguel Torres is one of the best pfp fighters in the world, hes about as dangerous as Aoki from the guard, and just outstruck one of the better strikers in the division.

[Filmnpuck]

That officially washed the bad taste out of my mouth from last night. And here I was thinking it would take a Gina Carano/Rachelle Leah pillow fight.

Hey, a man can dream, can't he?

[sugarngold]

There's no way Faber/Pulver can follow up that fight. Faber already ruined it for me by wearing those cornrows. WAR Pulver! lol

[québecwarrior]

white boy shouldnt wear corn row

[Lacyace]

Maeda/Torres was crazy. Round 2 was :admin

[BlueApollo]

white boy shouldnt wear corn row

At least they're not extensions.

[québecwarrior]

At least they're not extensions.
Faber isnt as gay as Fallignani

[Tko4]

Damn, that female cop is hot.

[IntentionalButt]

I was already pulling for Pulver before he came out to Thunderstruck and Faber came out to California Love. :yep

War Lil Evil! :fire

[BlueApollo]

Anyone else's Versus choppy as hell?

[québecwarrior]

Faber is in GREAT shape

[sugarngold]

Anyone else's Versus choppy as hell?

No. Looking and sounding good.

[BlueApollo]

Mir shout out to Hopkins... loving it.

[sugarngold]

Pulver is already a halfstep being Faber.

[Tko4]

Faber is looking very sharp and great in the clinch. Pulver still looks dangerous with that left hand though.

[québecwarrior]

Faber is talented, first time I see him in action..really impressed about his standing and cardio

[IntentionalButt]

OMG Pulver :ibutt

[québecwarrior]

Damn, what another good fight!!!

[BlueApollo]

Jens has to stop falling in at the end of exchanges. What a chin on this guy though.

[Tko4]

Holy balls. What a chin. Then he hurt Faber.

[Filmnpuck]

Can't believe Pulver survived there.

[québecwarrior]

War Faber

[Tko4]

Man, I really need to go to sleep. Have work in 7 hours. But this thing is turning into an epic.

[BlueApollo]

Faber just doesn't stay in bad positions.

[Filmnpuck]

Man, what can Pulver do but hold on at this point?

[sugarngold]

Faber's cardio is holding strong in this fight. He's steadily but surely wearing the legend down. Pulver is a legend right? He said so in the promo.

[IntentionalButt]

Pull the damn trigger Jens.

[québecwarrior]

great fight, i've LOVED it

[Tko4]

Great fight. Great night. Good night, all!

[québecwarrior]

Is Faber in the same category as GSP, Silva, Fedor, BJ???

[IntentionalButt]

Is Faber in the same category as GSP, Silva, Fedor, BJ???

Chill. :yep

That was an impressive win, but just...slow it down.

[sugarngold]

Is Faber in the same category as GSP, Silva, Fedor, BJ???

And Cung Le?

Quite possibly.

[québecwarrior]

:DChill. :yep

That was an impressive win, but just...slow it down.
:D I'm impressed:D

[sugarngold]

Hahah. It was a fun weekend of fights. Have a good week, all.

[WiDDoW_MaKeR]

His eye socket has to be fractured.

[Filmnpuck]

His eye socket has to be fractured.

I think so, too. Especially the way he kept putting his hand up to it. That shit was making me grimace.

[Filmnpuck]

Chill. :yep

That was an impressive win, but just...slow it down.
I think he's definitely in that league. He's got the exact same problem that Silva and GSP have now: who the hell do I fight?

[dchoker777]

Can you watch this on ******* anyone?

[Wilhelm]

I was pulling hard for Pulver, but I thought he looked a little old. I thought the same thing in the Penn rematch. He shows the same signs as old boxers; they get in position to punch and then they just dont' pull the trigger. There were times when Faber was in a bad spot either off balance or at a bad angle and Pulver couldn't capitalize on it. He just wouldn't throw. His punches didn't have the snap they used to either and he seemed to be pushing a bit.

Still, Faber looked great. I don't know who is out there for him now. Who else is on top of the 145ers? Without Frank Edgar or someone else coming down, who can hang with the kid?

[Filmnpuck]

I totally agree with Wilhelm. There were quite a number of times where I wanted Pulver to pull the trigger and he just wouldn't. Meanwhile, that right hand from Faber was on quick-fire all night. That shit was devastating.

I wish Tyson Griffin coule get down to 145.

[Rattler]

Jens didn't pull the trigger enough, because Faber hit him with enough right hooks to make him hesitate.... plus he respected Faber too much, I think. It's understandable, because Faber can do so much. Then again, Faber definitely altered his style, out of respect to Pulver. It wasn't until the banging started to show on Jens' face that Faber started to come out of his shell - as it regards taking it to the ground.

[Donut62]

Great night of fights. Torres/Maeda round 2 was one of the best rounds in MMA I have seen in sometime.

[Tko4]

After a night to sleep on last night and let my emotions calm down a bit, I must say...that was still an AWESOME card

I think I like watching the WEC more than any other organization, their "big brother" UFC included.

I like the production value: it's simple. I like Frank Mir's insight. He's a little bit too excited at times ("Oh, it's in so deep he's not getting out!"....then the guy gets out), but he knows his stuff. I like the lower weight classes. These guys bring it and their cardio consistently holds up.

[Beebs]

Miguel Torres definatly is.

[québecwarrior]

Miguel Torres definatly is.
he was amazing:thumbsup

I totally agree about Frank Mir. The guy is right on about 95% of the time (except when he gets a little too excited, like you said, but it's kind of a likeable part of his personality... he's terrible at the in-ring interviews, though, good thing they got the new guy to take care of that).

I'd certainly rather watch a couple good prospects go at it in a lower weight class in the WEC than, say, that fight between Tim Silvia and Brandon Vera a few months back at HW in the UFC.

[Filmnpuck]

Miguel Torres definatly is.

Torres has a wiiiiiiide skill set, that's for sure. He rivals Faber in the ability-to-do-everything-very-well category. Very good improvisation as well, similar to Faber.

[iksrtfo]

I would love to see a gif of when Pulver was down being pounding and almost out then stood to his feet. True warrior.

Fight of the year? I say so. Love Torres, represent Indiana! (barely)

He is sort of a reverse Anderson Silva. Anderson's striking is so scary it makes people want to go to the ground with him, so he developed an absolutely phenomenal ground game, so he doesn't mind being taken down, which helps his striking even more

Torres has a mind blowing ground game, so people want to stand with him, so he developed an incredible striking game, forcing people to take him to the ground sometimes.
