WEC 51 Was Better Than UFC 119

WEC 51 didn't exactly live up to the hype of 'Aldo Vs. Faber,' but it wasn't devoid of some highlights.
Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo vs. Manny Gamburyan
Aldo did a pretty fine job of sucking me into the black hole that is MMA missionary work. My drinking partner/classmate at the bar had been assaulted by a steady stream of 'bro, seriously, like, this guy is amazing, seriously bro, this will be over in ten seconds.' I take some of blame, but the rest goes to Aldo. Why bother with the warm-up round? Just get it over with. His fights are like hearing a long-winded judge lay out his reasoning for sentencing someone to life in prison. NIKE
Like flipping a switch, Aldo was on top of him, looking like a beaver on speed going through a log. He told Ariel Helwani before the fight that -- other than Anderson Silva -- he is the best fighter on the planet. I tend to agree with him. He needs to move upward and onward. No one in the WEC has even been able to hang, and I consider his five rounds with Faber as some kind of weird experiment in sadomasochism. Aldo is going to get lazy without being challenged and likely drop a fight to a lesser opponent, something that would be a total loss for the sport as a whole.

does anybody know how jose aldo got the skin graft on his face?
I'm all about covering the spread and moneylines. Glory favors the bold. Chance favors the prepared mind. Luck, well i have that too. University of Utah goes to the Pac-12 conference in 2011. I expect them to compete immediately for the conference CG. Brock Lesnar will defeat Cain Velasquez. The most hated and misunderstood person on the MMA blogs.. Utah and Boise take care of business in week one. Don't be surprised if they both go undefeated.
