Also don't forget about WEC 36 on Wednesday!
 
I honestly don't see Kang being more then a gatekeeper. His best win was probably against Semenov and he was past his prime when they fought or probablyGono but Kang was much bigger and couldn't finish him.
 
leben is a punk. anyone who actually believed he 'turned things around' would believe just about anything.

he's an absolute joke. who the hell would say to themselves, 'im would like to get into mma. im going to go to icon and train under chris leben' ?

.

at the very least the ufc is bolstering it's middleweight division with kang. now move paulo filho up with the big boys.

the 91 card looks solid.

florian vs stevenson should be fantastic.

meia vs.quarry should be great to watch if it goes to the ground.

. The fight is now only a 3 round fight but Paulo said he would hand the belt to Sonnen if he wins.
I hope Paulo breaks his arm this time around but I'm thinking he is probably going to be gassed if he makes it pass the 2nd round.

When I read that about Paulo, I laughed out loud. How do you miss weight by that much?

When he came in for the first weigh-in 7.5 over, HE TOOK OFF HIS SHORTS and tried again....

I LOL'd when I read he did that! Like, did he think his shorts really weighed 7.5 pounds or what?!
 
Between the TUF and his announcing on WEC, I've come to the conclusion that Frank Mir is a certified meathead.

He's funny, he's an excellent fighter, and he's a likable personality.

But the dude is seriously like a frat-boy, uber-jock, grade-A certified meathead.
 
I kind of like Mir in the booth. You are right on with him being a meat head but I think thats part of his appeal. He's a goon but he has serious knowledgebut sometimes he has a hard time articulating that.

"WHAT IS HE LOOKING AT?!?!?"....I kept laughing everytime he said that.

First off, I seriously can't believe what I just saw.

Secondly, that's exactly what made me laugh out loud earlier, too, along with the "If Chael Sonnen attacks him on the ground and gets caught in anarmbar..." comment.

Wow, I'm not even going to comment on tonights event except for Faber. Very suprised Faber didn't pay a little more attention for that punch,that's why you never underestimate any opponent.
 
My man Bad Boy came thru with the HEAT tonight! Hopefully WEC gets him a title shot now, he has a better chance at beating Brown than he does Faber, well atleast IMO.
 
Leonard Garcia is a huge featherweight.

If we see Brown vs. Garcia, that's going to be explosive.
