goddamn Jens is looking like Sloth from The Goonies.
He did better than he's done in part events imo. He seemed to have a personality in this one. He's always come off as a meathead-turned-announcer before. But tonight he kept me interested in that first fight when it looked like things would be unwatchable.doodyball5 said:I thought Mir did a good job commentating, actually.

I wish you hadn't fucked up the OP or I'd have been watching an hour ago, but regardless, interesting first fight. That's a tough crowd.

I don't see anyone beating him anytime soon.

It started off to a slow start but really picked up steam as it went on then took us for a roller coaster ride.
9/10 from me!

Sorry if this is a repost, but this guy slams the shit out of the Kimbo Slice debacle and throws a bone to WEC. Pretty brutal, and strangely enough it was on the front page of Yahoo.com.
The Torres fight was really a huge showcase for the sport. I had seen some MMA fights here and there in the past (before the Kimbo fight last night), but this fight was the first one where I actually thought there was some insane talent in the ring.Asbel said:8.5/10
Maeda/Torres is definitely fight of the year candidate. Pulver/Faber was really entertaining too. So good to see fighters displaying well rounded mma skills and not gassing after the first round. Glad the WEC came on after EXC (which I thought was good for casuals but I may be wrong). Hopefully the new fans who enjoyed EXC saw how much more exciting and technical mma can be.

All of the transitions between submissions and guards and locks and striking were incredible. I could never tell who was better off in any situation due to how spontaneous these guys were.
Amazing skill amongst those two.
The Faber/Pulver fight was interesting in it's own way, but paled in comparison to the Torres fight. Faber seemed like the dominant force the entire fight, and Pulver was just a punching bag that hit back every now and then. It looked like Pulver could deliver some solid punches, but he never really showed his stuff.
I'll be tuning into these events whenever I can...now if only there was a schedule or something I could follow for these things...
