WEC 40: Torres vs. Mizugaki Open Thread And Discussion

I'm alive.  I know most of you are probably asking the question where I've been.  I took some time out to spend with the family today, and got some things done.  We'll be here on Sunday night for the WEC 40 event with the open thread and discussion.  Please remember the rule of NO Spoilers, due to some of the preliminary fights possibly making the live broadcast.  Also, please remember that you still have time to get your picks in for the WEC 40 Fantasy league.  I'll see you all here around 9pm on Sunday night!

who wins the ratings?

WEC 40 should beat the women’s final four….who is it…Phillies/ATL baseball wise…..shit, WEC might edge them…admittedly I don’t know what baseball does ratings wise on ESPN
