Some really interesting fights. Im looking forward to seeing...
Brown vs. Faber 2
Lawler vs. Shields
Arlovski vs. Rogers
Diaz vs. Smith
Baroni vs. Riggs
Randleman vs. Whitehead

Some intriguing match ups. Of the ones I listed im picking...
Brown
Shields
Arlovski
Diaz
Baroni
Randleman

I actually hope Faber, Smith,and Riggs win. But not sure they will. Baroni is a class A douche bag along with Diaz. I like watching Cerrone fight also. That could be a good one.

unfortunately, I have to agree with your picks... I would love to see Diaz get KTFO - but it aint gonna happen, and as much I dislike Baroni... he is going to beat Riggs.

Not a fan of Faber and I have known Brownie for a long time, so I will be pulling for him to keep the belt for sure.

I think Arlovski is a huge test for Rogers at this point, and could very well get ugly!

Cerrone is tough as nails, and could certainly steal the spotlight on that card and take FON.

You can never count Smith out. ANd I am also a fan of Riggs. I think the card looks good. And there are sure to be some great fights. I just don't like either of the Diaz brothers. I respect them as fighters, but that is about it.

I agree you cant count Smith out completely as evidenced by his fight with Pete Sell. However I think Diaz is to much for him to handle especially on the ground.

He has a punchers chance against anyone in the game... he will need a lot of luck to connect flush w/ diaz though...

I can only hope

I can only hope

trust me, nothing would make me happier - either way, should be an entertaining card.

Holy sh!t!!!! The first 3 fights on WEC were great. Man Jose Aldo is crazy. Havent seen to many flying knees that well placed. Glad Cerrone won as did Liddells cabana boy. :devil:

holy jits batman! the two prelims where nice too! Love the flying triangle!

Aldo is a freak, I hope we get him/faber next (then brown for the belt)...

I am looking forward to the main event.

I am enjoying the card! Last night was a bit odd I guess, riggs has improved a ton though...

Yea that would be a good fight. Yea I heard last nights fights were odd too. Here we go baby! Main event!

Wow amazing fight. True heart by Faber, fighting with a broken hand. Great battle. Looks like your boy wins again Tim. Both these guys are awesome!

No doubt... it was a great fight. It does suck about his hands - I hate the CSAC rules and regs... you see a lot of broken hands in California due to their rules (limitations) on how much tape you can use and where it can go on the gauze. (it becomes extremely important to have a good corner that knows how to properly wrap/protect your hands with those rules).

Oh well - even though Brownie has 2 wins... I think we will get to see a faber/brown 3 at some point in the next year or so. If the WEC is smart - they will give Faber a couple of fights in between now and then though.

Faber is the sort of guy that will grow from this... and will be a fighter next time.

Odd for sure, as much as I dislike him, Diaz had some amazing hands... Slept thru the AA/Rogers fight - but it was less then 30seconds, so I didn't miss much. Riggs (broke both hands too) spanked baroni, Whitehead controlled a gassed Randleman for 3 rds but really did no damage and Sheilds.. well, I am not sure what happened there - I think Lawler forgot he was fighting or something.

Jesus what the hell was Arlovski doing? He looked like he didnt even belong in there. He is so inconsistent. To bad cause he can be a very exciting fighter when he wants to be.

Someone else said he didn't circle out when he got hit. Just straight back. The only thing I hate is I will have to hear about Brett Rogers till someone takes him down. Kind of Like Houston Alexander.

His hands were way down too. Yea it wont take long for someone to take him out.
