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.

To prove a point maybe, and what a point he proved.
Sonnen may win if he can keep it standing. He has a nice reach advantage, and last time he was convincingly winning the standup. Although, we know what will happen if Filho manages to take it to the ground. Sonnen better not get cocky again if hes winning the fight.

Ouch. Is Mike Brown all the WEC has left to throw at Urijah? It doesn't seem like a very goodm atch on paper.

Exactly who cares if he didn't tap the Ref is there to protect is safety, and obviously the ref decided he was in a position he couldn't get himself out of. Tim Sylvia lost and he didn't tap, and the ref didn't have a chance to stop it and Tim's arm broke. I bet Sonnen wouldn't be bitching about not tapping if he was in rehab for a jacked up arm right now.

I'm really glad to see Razor Rob back in action. Didn't his opponent get that triangle choke win, but had it overturnned? Why was that?

Yep, he did get that triangle win, but it was changed to a NC because he (Cowboy) tested positive for a diuretic.

Cowboy vs Razor is going to be sick.
But what I'm really looking foward to is the WEC debut of Jake Rosholt and Johny Hendricks.
If you like Cain Velasquez you will love these two.
Now I personally can't stand Filho or Sonnen I dislike both of them so I don't care who wins. I think Filho won.

You know, it always sucks when two fighters you really like have to bang it out, because ultimately...someone has to come out on the losing side once the fight's over.
I think everyone is aware of how much of a loyal Rob McCullough mark I am (which is why I think some people on the forum hate him), and ever since I saw the TapouT show (yes, that's right), and looked up some vintage Cerrone material, I became a fan. CowBOIII
So, like I said...it pretty much sucks that these two got matched up, but it simply had to happen for the betterment of the WEC's lightweight landscape...and all "fanboyism" aside, I hope it's a knock-down, drag-out FOTY candidate. That would be the ultimate outcome for me, just a good f*cking fight, you know? Whether my boy RaZor wins, or CowBOIII takes it, it better be electric...which I think it will be.
Oh, and Faber will BULLDOZE Brown.
