I guess Miguel is still P4P best in WEC land. In UFC land not so much.

because the little guys come to fight.

same with boxing. id rather watch a straweight fight than a heavyweight fight anyday.

yeah

why I secretly hope the WEC is folded into the UFC

WOW

im pretty f’n shocked. i’m not often shocked at fights but damned if im not now.

Just goes to show

No one is unbeatable.

Wish I would have put some money on Bowles. I had a feeling he might win-

I was telling my wife right before the main event started that I could see it going down like the first Mike Thomas Brown-Urijah Faber fight.
