Little man byTKO
he reminds me of mac from punchout!
so is this on ppv??
I should never have doubted the wisdom of David W-S or the talent of Junior Dos Santos…and screw Dana White
i couldnt find it on the Score here at all on my guide
And its always on my guide, whether its UFC or SF or Dream or Wec. Some of the WEC’s just simply don’t come here and no one will pick up the Vs feed for the event this time it seems. We’ll get a rerun this week sometime. Yay…. Assholes.
If anyone knows otherwise for sure please let me know.

It’s high time for these fighters to be rolled into the UFC:
1) WEC has too much of the Affliction shuffle.
2) The stars of the WEC deserve to start making UFC money.
3) Once the stars of WEC become mainstream stars, they’ll help prevent some of the thin card streaks that we get now and then.
4) The WEC would probably be more successful as the UFC’s B division than trying to be the big dog in the world of little fighters. Rather than cutting guys like MacDonald, Alexander, Kimbo, Leites, Jardine, etc. use them to give WEC shows some much needed mainstream name recognition. Either that or just get rid of the WEC entirely. My understanding was that they wanted to keep the WEC because of the deal with Versus. Now that UFC is on Versus, the WEC no longer serves that purpose.
great thoughts. make a great case. well done

I like your idea of using it to replace TUF. It’d be great WEC would keep TUF’s idea of having a tournament to decide who moves on to the UFC (just no reality element and fights broadcast live) . Having these tournaments in lieu of champions is a good idea for a few reasons: The championship titles would be quite meaningless in the face of UFC titles and they would be continually vacated by fighters moving on to the UFC. But you can’t just have random meaningless fights. A lot of fight fans need at least some of the fights to have a clear and well-defined goal. I think tournaments would fulfill that need quite well.
i think eventually you will see the wec merge with the ufc
zuffa is just trying to figure out the logisitcs of it all and they are making sure the timing of everything is right
When is Scott Jorgensen going to get his title Shot...
I love that guy. Solid chin, stand up, gorund game, and tons of heart….

Did Jorgensen cut off a leg? 136 pounds for a 155 fight? lol.
