UFL? Really?

I mean, of all things to run-over and dig into WEC time, it’s second-rate foosball.. wow.

Miguel Torres

I don’t know if I’m the only one, but did you not love Miguel Torres high left-shoulder, right hand protect chin stance?

I thought it was awesome.

The style reminds me of some old school boxers, I’ve seen some muay thai fighters employ it. It’s really great for tall fighters. One of my pet peeves with Miguel Torres is I don’t think he really took advantage of his height.
Today he did.

Oh yeah, if he went as far to use a shoulder roll, I would wonder if Torres visited Mayweather Sr. or the troubled Uncle Roger Mayweather.

It wasn’t the most exciting fight and I give Valencia some credit for competing, but I really love this fight for the technical aspect displayed by Torres. Freaking awesome.

Guillitine win over a dude that was sitting up into them?

Good win to get Zhang started in the WEC, but I don’t really think it means much.

I haven’t been able to come around much lately and everything goes to poop! I guess I need to bring back my killer sense of humor to get things going again (or as my wife calls it – making jokes that only I laugh at).

Guarantee Verne broke his hand on that last punch.

Have to admit, Varner has some serious skills. Too bad he’s the biggest bitch in MMA. What as waste.

by Lucas2 on Sep 30, 2010 10:56 PM EDT reply actions  

He's got skill

But got whupped on by Cerrone in R1. Man is looking real good tonight!

Cowboy should follow up those failed takedowns with a high-kick. Those long legs will catch Verner perectly.

Hey Neil – did anyone pick Manny over Jose in the next fight?

Haha – good. Haven’t been around in a while and wanted to make sure everyone’s head was still on straight.

If my calculations are correct, Cowboy can lose this round and still win the decision. Correct?

Yeah, I've got him up by two

Look at Verker looking for a stand-up. I wonder if this dude will ever just fight a fight and not look for help from the ref.

by Lucas2 on Sep 30, 2010 11:05 PM EDT reply actions  

Varner I meant. Not sure who Verker is.

I say 1 tonight, maybe 2.

The crowd continuing to boo

Just makes me laugh every single time. Almost as much as the derogatory chants.

This night is about to get REAL for Manny

Real bad, that is. I only wonder whether or not Aldo whups him harder than Emerson did.

Aldo seems much more pumped up than normal but tentative once the fight has gotten started.

by Lucas2 on Sep 30, 2010 11:32 PM EDT reply actions  

Aldo better do something good – I’m making my wife watch this fight.

Like Anderson Silva said, Jose Aldo is better than me.
Yes, I believe it!

Be sure to check back tomorrow afternoon for the review show at 4:30PM EST

With the foosball running late we thought it might be a late show, and I’ve got “work” in the AM. Matt should be in on it too, and we might even be able to coax some kinds words out of Forrest for Donald Cerrone!

I think you’re looking for the song “Illuminati” by Fatboy Slim.

Nope. The song I’m talking about is playing in the background, in the arena itself, while they are discussing the upcomng main-event

by Karolis Keblikas on Oct 3, 2010 3:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

Oh, can't help you there then

I remember that a song caught my ear and I tried to figure it out, but I forgot about it, and deleted WEC from my DVR. If you’ve still got the recording (or audio available in some way) look up a piece of software called “Shazzam”; it’ll analyze the song and figure it out, and is on most smartphones, and maybe even on computers.
