WEC 41 MAIN CARD FIGHT COVERAGE:
WEC Featherweight Champion Mike Thomas Brown vs. Urijah "The California Kid" Faber (145-pound limit)
Round one: Here we go! The arena is on fire. Chess match early with neither fighter looking to engage. Brown narrows the distance and presses Faber up against the cage. He lands a few elbows, but nothing serious. Both are back to the center of the cage and Faber unleashes a blistering head kick that lands flush on Brown's beard. Brown now chasing Faber and finds himself in a guillotine from which he is able to escape. Brown is able to get Faber's back, but Faber eventually works his way to his feet. Brown has a gash over his eye courtesy of the earlier head kick. Faber eventually frees himself and Brown lands a nice punch as the two part ways. Faber DRILLS Brown in the top of the head, but is somehow able to get a takedown. He gets Faber in a TIGHT choke and Faber does a flip and gets out. Brown is now in North-South position, but Faber again gets to his feet just before the horn sounds to end the round. Wow ...
Round two: Round two both guys still seem amped from the earlier action. Brown tries to punch his way in with his head down but Faber is like a ghost. He eventually finds him, landing two solid punches. Faber misses with a head kick. Brown closes the distance and drills Faber with a nice right hand-takedown combination. He's got Faber on the ground again maneuvering for chokes from every possible angle. Faber gets to his feet again with Brown draped across his back hammering him with punches while Faber is pressed face first against the cage. Faber, on his butt now, works for a guillotine choke that doesn't work. Both guys scramble for a bit and end up on their feet again. Trading short punches now. And that's how the action-packed round will end.
Round three: More of the same to start this round -- Brown stalks Faber and Faber fades in and out. Faber throws a flying knee that misses it's mark, but the elbow right after doesn't. Brown stifles a takedown and attempts another guillotine choke. Faber escapes and the pair exchange punches again once they get to their feet. Faber throws another right elbow -- his hand may be injured. Brown pins Faber up against the cage and works for a takedown. Faber sprawls and gets on top of Brown, who immediately works for a leg lock. Faber escapes and they are once again standing. Brown catches Faber with a big right hand, but he seems fine. He lands another. Brown goes for a trip and misses. Faber is wincing in pain as he tries to clasp his hands in the clinch -- something is wrong with the "California Kid."
Round four: Faber comes out kicking because his hand is hurt. Pace is a little less frenetic at this point in the fight. Brown has Faber up against the cage and lands some nice shots. Brown works the jab and lands some body blows, too. Faber scores with a standing elbow strike. Halfway through round four and they are clinching alongside the cage. Faber doesn't appear to be able to mount much offense, but Brown can't seem to capitalize. Big body shot from Brown. He is landing more but the shots don't appear to be doing much damage. Faber is handicapped at this point. Brown tries to hit a takedown as the round comes to a close, but time expires.
Round five: Here we go ... fifth and final frame. Faber throws a short looping left hook that lands. Follows it with a front kick and upper cut. Brown's jab finds its mark again. Brown gets a takedown, but isn't able to do anything at all -- Faber gets to his feet easily. Faber bitch slapping Brown now with his left hand. He goes for a standing guillotine, but Brown picks him up and dumps him on his head. They don't stay on the mat long -- back on their feet. Brown lands a nice right-left combination. Brown gets a double-leg takedown. Faber pops to his feet instantly. Faber somehow pulls off an awesome-looking guillotine choke, but could not finish it because he cannot use his hands properly. Brown escapes, but it could have been bad news if Faber was well. He tries to finish the round with a takedown, but Faber is just too elusive. The round ends. Awesome fight! First half was better than the second ... for obvious reasons.
Final result: Mike Thomas Brown defeats Urijah "The California Kid" Faber via unanimous decision to remain WEC featherweight champion

Jose "Junior" Aldo vs. Cub Swanson (145-pound limit)
Round one: Both fighters touch gloves and Swanson smiles as the two hard-hitting brawlers are ready to go to war. Not for long. Aldo unleashes a hellish flying knee just four seconds into the bout and Swanson drops to the canvas like a sack of spuds, covering his face in the center of the cage in a pool of blood. Aldo drops two big lefts to the downed fighter just for good measure and the referee comes in to save Swanson before Aldo murders him. Dear lord. Mr. Aldo is a savage.
Final result: Jose Aldo defeats Cub Swanson via technical knockout (strikes) in round one
-end-
James Krause vs. Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone (155-pound limit)
Round one: Cerrone opens up with the action with a body kick that Krause follows to the mat to attempt a takedown. They scramble. Cerrone is on his back and angles for a triangle, which he transitions to an omoplata that Krause defends. Cerrone eventually gets the omoplata tight, forcing Krause to roll to avoid shredding his shoulder. Cerrone now in top position, working some ground and pound. Krause goes for a leg lock that doesn't pan out and both fighters make it to their feet. Krause goes for a takedown that Cerrone defends and in the process locks in a tight standing guillotine while unleashing a nice knee to the face. Cerrone blasts Krause with a huge punch! Krause is hurt bad, covering up hoping to avoid more damage. Cerrone follows him to the mat and has his back. He flattened him out and is softening up Krause with punches. Cerrone finally sees an opening and sinks in a fight-ending rear naked choke with about 40 seconds left on the clock. Great action!
Final result: Donald Cerrone defeats James Krause via submission (rear naked choke) in round one
-end-
Josh "The Fluke" Grispi vs. Jens "Little Evil" Pulver (145-pound limit)
Round one: Both fighters open up by trading kicks that cancel each other out. Pulver scores a big takedown, but falls into a tight guillotine choke. It appears that he will be able to pop his head out. No! Grispi tightens his grip and Pulver seems to be fading. He has no choice but to tap. It's over in just 32 seconds! Pulver is extremely dejected, refusing the assistance of those in the ring who are there to check on him. Big win for Grispi ... another bitter loss for "Lil Evil."
Final result: Josh Grispi defeats Jens Pulver via submission (guillotine choke) in round one

OK, so, many of you on here no me. As much as i love me MMA, how stupid if Zuffa to schedule a pretty decent card against the lakers game. I am GUARENTEEING that they lost viewers 1 because the lakers won in an AMAZING GAME!, 2, It was on ABC, so many viewers who dont have cable didn’t have to go anywhere. Great card, but shame on Zuffa for scheduling!
AND GO LAKERS!! 2-0 BABY!

Javster, you are an oracle. How did you see into the future that this card would shatter WEC gate and attendance records. What were you GUARANTEEING ?? Another stoopid move by Zuffa and another correct prediction by youself, as well. :) This night of fights was better than 10 of the lakers best games rolled into one.

Check the neilson ratings. Got DESTROYED by the game. Shoot, tiger at memorial pulled in more ratings. Probably just bad timing, but Zuffa knows what events will be happening months in advance. and RedDog and Synyster, i know none of you have the fortune of having a winning sports team in your city, but that doesnt mean you have to turn into keyboard warriors.
Silly fattys!

It’s “Showtime”…. Pettis is going to KO Campbell in the first round. Campbell has nothing but that big left hand. Pettis by headkick within 2 minutes.

Well, it wasn’t a headkick, but a triangle choke… It’s Showtime bitches!

I like Brown. Classy guy, respectfull, good personality and is HUGE for 145 with KO power and great wrestling!
BUT Urijah is one of my favorites and i’m going to have to go with him this time around!
Faber is supposedly bulking up a little bit, which will help. He also wont be trying such cray stuff in this fight.
-Faber via decision rnd 5
Hope to see Pulver get a MUCH needed win. A LOSS here would pretty seal a deal on his retirement, imo.
-Faber Tko rnd 2
Hope to see Cub Swanson get KOed due to his STUPID tattoos alone, lol.
-“Junior” Aldo ftw
I’ve always liked Manny WAYY better than his bitch made cousin Karo. Hes strong with GREAT Judo.
- Gamburyan via sub rnd 2

Hard not to love that guy but I agree he’s probably done even though he’s lost to very tough competition during his losing streak. Not long ago he quickly choked out Cub Swanson and I thought he’d be a super threat at featherweight. Guess it goes to show how good the competition is and I suppose how old Jens is relative to it.

Is it just me or should there be a showdown of Bellator Vs Wec on the Featherweight Division? Given what we just saw transpire in the Belltor tournament, I think Bellator rocks WEC in such a matchup. Urijah Faber is perhaps the most overhyped fighter in the world. Who has he beaten? Joe Soto would knock him into next week. Joe Soto and Wilson Reis are the best Featherweights in the world right now.

For most effed up eye and quickest stoppage? It should have been stopped in 3 seconds but I think Mazzagatti was too shocked to move.

The fastest ever was:
#1: Chris Clements vs. Lautaro Tucas @ TKO 25 (5/5/06), 3 seconds

Does anyone actually sit in the crowd hoping they catch a used mouthpiece?
by JTD on Jun 7, 2009 10:32 PM EDT reply actions
lol. I was thinking that. then I thought, “What would I do if it landed in my lap, or hit me in the face?” Would I be excited and laugh? Would I beat down the people next to me to get it? Or would I get pissed and grossed out and throw it back at him?
by Synyster on Jun 7, 2009 10:35 PM EDT up reply actions
I don’t know what’s funnier – the idea of someone fighting over a used mouthpiece or the fighter believing someone would actually want their saliva saturated mouthpiece as a souvenier? I guess throwing their jock strap into the crowd is too much effort.

I wouldnt want to touch that… Unless I could throw it at Urijah Faber as he walks to the cage…

I wouldn’t say NEVER. I saw one that was riddled with boring fights. I dont remember any name but Wageny Fabiano winning by 3rd round arm triangle..
Main events of the WEC fights ALWAYS deliver though!

It was headlined by Torres/Tapia. I enjoyed watching Tapia get destroyed, but yeah, not alot of 1st round finishes, which is what the WEC is known for. But it was a good event still, which says alot.

so… now that Faber is 0-2 vs Brown, would they really set up a 3rd fight?
by Synyster on Jun 7, 2009 11:31 PM EDT reply actions
I would like to See Brown Defend against at least 2 other deserving challengers first. Faber got his chance, now he has to sit. He has to get over the hand anyway.
by Juniors Knee on Jun 7, 2009 11:33 PM EDT up reply actions
Brown will. He has at least 1 year before Faber could fight him (time to heal from injury plus at least 1 more fight not against Brown).
Brown can easily fight 2 guys within a year.
by Bennie Blanco on Jun 7, 2009 11:35 PM EDT up reply actions
Wow Did the announcers so not want Faber to win. Not Florian so much but the other announcer was so far up Faber ass, like he was not supposed to win. I hate when announcers do that. Same thing with the NBA when the Magic was beating Cleveland. Last checked tMike Brown was champ, the whole time he was saying what Faber has to do to win the fight, What Faber needs to do this, look what Faber is doing! Shit makes me so sick! Thankfully Mike Brown WON again! Yes as I wantd Mike Brown is still champ and Jose Aldo and him will be a sick fight!

by RedDog on Jun 8, 2009 12:36 AM EDT up reply actions
Brown is for real.
They will definitely set up a 3rd fight since the first 2 were great and Uriah has a bit of an excuse on both.
1. He got caught
2. Hand broken for 4 of 5 rounds
Uriah could win. That doesn’t take anything from Brown.
They will have a 3rd fight within 12-18 months
by Bennie Blanco on Jun 7, 2009 11:33 PM EDT reply actions
I think Urijah should have to fight 2 or 3 guys to climb back up the ladder.
by Synyster on Jun 7, 2009 11:36 PM EDT up reply actions
I agree, Faber has so many ppl on his nuts it’s not even funny. The dude is cocky, obnoxious, and got his butt kicked twice in a row. Brown wouldn’t be afforded the same leniency if he had lost the last two like that.

great event tonight. But if Mike Brown fights Jose Aldo like he did tonight, then Aldo is champ. If the Brown who destroyed Garcia shows up, then we have a FIGHT!!

lol kongo was schooled in the standup by herring, who is noy even to 20, beat kongo to the punch all day long, and kongo, tried taking it to the ground all day long, afterward herring was pissed kongo was afraid to stand with him. kongos standup is overrated, just a big, clumsy , slow robotlike fighter, cain will take him down and GnP and even standing has nothing to fear he is way quicker and more athletic than kongo. good pick though on franklin who will take apart wandy

U have to remember there is nobody faster then Faber in that weight class that I can think off. The first he caught Faber. This time he outmuscled Faber. He fought a good fight, it is really hard to hit what is not there.

by ✰Pretty Boy✰ on Jun 7, 2009 11:45 PM EDT reply actions
Mike Brown would of still won if Faber hadn’t broken his hand, though it would of been closer.
Brown stood after the 2nd round because he realized Faber’s hand was injured. Had Faber not been injured I think he would have taken him down more and maintained ground control exhausting Faber even more. Though Faber would of at least had a punchers chance. I don’t think Faber can not out brown.

Awesome event. Too bad for Pulver. Whats next????
Faber/Brown was an awesome war. Big props to faber fighting with a broken hand. Takes balls to do that.

Brown V Faber great fight I do have to give props to Faber with the hands to keep it going hard, adapting and basically over-coming with landing those elbows one after another. Im not a huge fan of Faber but hey that was a fight regardless. Brown V Aldo, thats going to be interesting… HAHA! I could see that going so many ways Brown just smashing Aldo’s face in with his beastly strength or Aldo’s always impressive array of random…ness I would like to watch aldo get thrown around a bit.(he looks small for his weight class imo) But who knows brown get caught in a submission and Brown just standing up and slamming Aldo is what I see coming I cant wait I am excited!
