WEC World Extreme Cagefighting is an American mixed martial arts promotion. It is the sister promotion to the UFC, both owned and produced by ZUFFA, with a focus on lighter weight classes and talent building for the UFC. As with its older and much larger sibling, the WEC uses the same rules as the UFC, but it holds its fights in a smaller octagonal cage.

Hominick needs to go train in BJJ for, like, 5 years. Dude's ground game is atrocious.
Garcia threw a monkey wrench in the 145 rankings, though Tamura is number 1 on my list.
Miguel Torres is legit, and he'll hold that belt for a long while. Though, I do look forward to him & Tapia fighting.

Man this thread was from a while back. I still think my buddy Mike Easton can beat him. He has all the tools. He lost his last fight because he broke his elbow.

He is 6-0-1 as an Amatuer..
This is one of his fights.He is like a small Wanderlei. He comes forward and puts himself in harms way. He makes us nervous sometimes..lol..But he is one of my favorite fighters to watch.

I have the Hudson fight somewhere. Ill have to look for it. That was a really good fight. Hudson got Mike in a really good guillotine. Mike stayed in there and said later that he would go to sleep before he tapped. Mike won in the second rd by KO, devastating KO. Thiago Silva fought on the same card. |

Whats with all the Hominick haters? His ground game is atrocious? Hes won fights by rnc, triangle chokes and armbar. An ADCC champ submits him and all the sudden his ground game is shit. I train with Hominick and his ground game isnt his strength but it definetly not atrocious lol. Anyway Torrez style is exciting as shit and hes a straight badass. I agree he is the best 135er in the world right now, Until I get the call from WEC anyway.

His ground game is terrible, getting subbed by pretty much anyone who gets him down. Are you basing his ground skills off of the Yves Edwards fight? Because, throwing up a slow ass triangle on a guy who is looking for a way out, isn't exactly impressive.
He's a typical Tompkins trainee: Poor on the ground, solid stand-up.
Also, if I were a Hominick "hater," I'd be saying that he sucks at everything, call him dirty names, and make fun of his family, but I'm not a hater, I just call it like I see it.
I did like how Hominick got worked in the stand-up by a grappler, though. That was pretty cool.

I think he should try his hand at FW and destroy guys like Pulver and Faber.
