Jaime Varner: 'The WEC should be called the Urijah Faber show'

Varner-no-cowboys-3_medium

Props: Curtis and Kyle

Quoteworthy:

"It should be called The Urijah Faber Show instead of World Extreme Cagefighting. They keep giving Faber all of the big promotional deals, in fact they just hooked him up with Amp Energy Drink. Amp just became the official energy drink of the WEC. I called the WEC regarding Amp about two months ago because a buddy of mine who works with Pepsi told me about it. I asked the WEC to get me on board with them and they said they would see what they could do. Lo and behold Faber got the deal."

WEC lightweight champion Jamie Varner shares an oft-rumored sentiment that Urijah Faber still gets the royal treatment from the promotion despite no longer carrying the featherweight torch. "C-4" hasn't been able to detonate since sustaining injuries in his title defense against Donald Cerrone at WEC 38 in January 2009. He'll get a chance to prove he's still king of the 155-pound mountain when he locks horns with rising star Benson Henderson at WEC 46 this Sunday (Jan. 10) on Versus. Does the champ still have the goods? Or will we enter the "Smooth" era?

Varner is a tool

He’s right about the Urijah Faber show (just watch the latest trailer for proof of that) and the Cowboy does act like an idiot at times but the guy has proven to be gutless and the fact that he thinks that he’d be top 3/4 in the UFC right now is ridiculous, all of the top LWs would school Varner. He’s good but there are better strikers, wrestlers and submission specialists than him plus nobody has less character, heart and determination than him. Smooth will win by decision.

"Anderson Silva is the best fighter on the planet...any Anderson Silva fight that is on, people should be buying that PPV, not because he’s my fighter but you know what, he to me is like the Muhammad Ali of MMA...the UFC has been around since 1993, nobody (else) has 10 consecutive wins in the UFC. Anderson has had 10 fights in the UFC, only 1 has ever gone to a decision."

only reason am posting in a Jamie Varner thread. This is the reason why no one likes him.

I didn't even read the story

Just wanted to see if anyone was talking about the side boob

"OH GOD THAT'S DISGUSTING! HE BROKE HIS FREAKIN' ARM"
"hey man that's the business, we're not figure skating"

I underestimated the deadly skills of one of the greatest HWs in the world, Frank Mir. I wrote that because I lost a bet but honestly, he really did impress me. I'm well on the Frank wagon

Don’t you actually have to fight to get endorsement deals. Nobody wants The Duck promoting their product.

fvckin Varner...

Jesus, i thought i disliked this guy before, but now I officially hate this kid. Talk about being a whiny, fvckin pussy….Hey Jaime, you wanna know why Faber got the deal over you? Because they give those endorsements to the tough bastards, and not the cowardly pussies. Because Faber continued to fight in a match where both of his hands were useless. That was one of the most courageous performances i’ve ever seen, trying to take on Mike Brown with only your elbows as weapons. What’s our last rememberance of you Varner?? Oh yeah, you pussied out of a fight on a technicality…..what’s even worse, YOU WERE WINNING THE FIGHT!!!!! I’ve never seen a bigger puss-out in my life time.

in case you were wondering Jaime……..that’s why they gave it to Faber over you….but hey, thanks for making the suggestion…….and i hope Cerrone breaks your fvckin jaw.

No mater how hot or how half naked that chick is, I have no doubts that Varner has no Interest in her or anyone of that gender

by RiskReturnGroup on Jan 8, 2010 10:47 AM EST reply actions  

AMP?

According to WEC’s site; NO FEAR is the ‘Official’ Energy Drink of the WEC and Faber is in their advertisements.

Maybe Varner is a bit confused…

boo fricken hoo!!

sounds like he is a whining b*tch..and should be sponsored by kleenex to wipe up his sorry for himself tears..

Varner????

 my question is y is the cowboys logo X out??

by BigDickChainey on Jan 8, 2010 11:25 AM EST reply actions  

because fuck the cowboys thats why

Varner needs to stop complaining. He is a really good fighter, and I think he will beat Henderson. But he hasnt fought since that disgraceful win over Cerronne. Once he starts winning, then they’ll promote you. Until then take a back seat to the guy who helped put the promotion on the map

dude.....i am

Agreed, who is the girl?

And where can I find some pics and videos of her?

There are no such things as lesbians, just women who have not yet met Chuck Norris

Time for a 155 merger

I think someone already mentioned this above somewhere but why didn’t the UFC take the 155 lbers when they amalgamated the 170’s?

That way zuffa would have 1 champ per weight class instead it now has 3 at 155 while having only 1 in each of the others.

That said Varner would lose to the majority of the 155 lbers in the UFC.

by wolfman91 on Jan 8, 2010 11:41 AM EST reply actions  

Varner would get destroyed in UFC

Varner would barely make Top 10 in UFC. I have him behind (in no particular order) Penn, Sanchez, Edgar, Florian, Griffin, Maynard, Sherk and Stout. I’m probably forgetting a few others, but all these guys would kick Varner’s ass.
