I am so glad that I just turned this on tonight and decided to watch, and this is the first fight I'm seeing.

 

[OokieSpookie]

This kind of fight it what it is all about, two people just throwing it all out there.

that round>>>>>Elite's entire card last night

:lol

Slight stretch, but yeah this is some good shit.

Dana, focus less on heavies, make a 140lb division in the UFC. Or fuck it, bring in feathers and bantams. :lol

 

[SyNapSe]

oh shit Torres was trying to setup the arm bar at the end too with all the heel kicks..

 

[smurfx]

omg i haven't seen a fight this awesome since huerta/guida.

 

[Ripclawe]

Yoshida's eye is closing fast.

 

[JakOfTheShadows]

That closed eye it going to make the rest of this fight so hard for Yoshida.

 

[Ripclawe]

He can't see anything coming from his right

 

[Boogie]

I pray they don't stop this because of that swollen eye.

 

[SnakeXs]

How do you say "Cut me, Mick" in Japanese? :lol

Fight's over. Fucking shit.

 

[QVT]

fight of the year. the dual toe holds what the fuck man

fuck, guess not.

HOLY SHIT LOOK AT HIS EYE

 

[Boogie]

aww, shit.

 

[Keylime]

Torres is nasty.

All that groundwork when he's on his back really makes a difference.

Edit: NOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[tralfazz]

What.an.awesome.match. One of the better I've seen.

Question I have. Is the WEC loosely affiliated with the UFC?

 

[smurfx]

ah come on don't stop it because of the eye! boxing lets fighters go why not mma?

 

[SnakeXs]

Wow it got WAY worse during the commercial.

What.an.awesome.match. One of the better I've seen.

Question I have. Is the WEC loosely affiliated with the UFC?

Same ownership.

 

[Ripclawe]

Geez, they had to stop that. REMATCH !

 

[SyNapSe]

MIGGY FREEEDOOOMMM

really great fight, little guys ftw

 

[Boogie]

What.an.awesome.match. One of the better I've seen.

Question I have. Is the WEC loosely affiliated with the UFC?

WEC is owned by the same company that owns UFC.

I have a feeling we'll see a rematch of this one.

edit: okay, ya, that eye is COMPLETELY shut. It sucks, but that's a legit stoppage.

 

[BlackMage]

that eye is SHUT son!

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

awwww man

 

[OokieSpookie]

Great great fucking fight.

 

[Boogie]

Torres is now 34-1. And he avenged that sole loss.

That's insane. That's a kind of dominance you just don't see in MMA.

I assumed so becasue I see the same refs and corner men for both leagues.

They better have a rematch of these two. SOON!

Not to take away from the kid, but who's he fought?

 

[Keylime]

This fight was almost as good as the Kimbo fight last night...I didn't think it was possible.

 

[Boogie]

This fight was almost as good as the Kimbo fight last night...I didn't think it was possible.

Bullshit. That fight far and away eclipsed Kimbo's fight. This was Fight of the Year potential.

 

[BlackMage]

I assumed so becasue I see the same refs and corner men for both leagues.

neither of those things make a difference.

 

[SnakeXs]

Refs are from whatever commission sanctions MMA in that state, not due to what organization it is. And cornermen are whoever the fighter brings in, usually from his gym/camp.

It does explain the cross promotion and showing UFC fighters, though.

Woo, Geoff!

 

[SolidSnakex]

ah come on don't stop it because of the eye! boxing lets fighters go why not mma?

Because in MMA they actually try to protect the fighters.

 

[SyNapSe]

What.an.awesome.match. One of the better I've seen.

Question I have. Is the WEC loosely affiliated with the UFC?

Yeah, Zuffa (company that owns UFC) bought out WEC a few years ago. They robbed some talent (Rampage, etc.) and turned it into their light weight league. basically

 

[JakOfTheShadows]

First off, I agree with the stopage, but I feel so bad for some of these fighters though. You can tell for a fighter that was fighting that hard that this means so much to him, and then to have it stopped when you still feel like you can go. It got to be just depressing for you.

 

[BlackMage]

Bullshit. That fight far and away eclipsed Kimbo's fight. This was Fight of the Year potential.

he's joking

 

[SnakeXs]

This fight was almost as good as the Kimbo fight last night...I didn't think it was possible.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

i doubt even in a boxing match would he have been allowd to continue.

 

[Keylime]

he's joking

Aye

That fight was easily the greatest fight I've seen to date.

 

[yacobod]

awesome match

told you guys torres was awesome

 

[Pimpwerx]

that was a war. kitchen fucking sink.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Yeah, Zuffa (company that owns UFC) bought out WEC a few years ago. They robbed some talent (Rampage, etc.) and turned it into their light weight league. basically

pretty sure you're thinking of WFA, not WEC (as far as Rampage is concerned).

 

[Bishman]

Aye

That fight was easily the greatest fight I've seen to date.

You damn right!

Add me as a Torres fan. Fucking love seeing him fight. That fight was awesome!

 

[SyNapSe]

man I wish they had done a 6 hour show that had the prelim fights in it, I'd have loved to see Chase at least.

 

[Keylime]

Fighting against Torres has to be frustrating as hell.

Solid stand-up game. Great ground game. Seemingly great submission skills. TAUNTS!

I'd hate to fight him, but fuck is he great to watch.

 

[SnakeXs]

It's time, folks.

The battle of the butt chin vs. the different colored eyes.

 

[Boogie]

Not to take away from the kid, but who's he fought?

Legit question.

The 135lbs class isn't as developed as the higher weight classes in MMA. His record is padded, but not to the extent that, say, Sean Sherk's is.

I don't think the best at 135 have really faced off against each other, but you have to put Torres at the top of the heap based on consistency.

Maeda might be the most impressive win so far, as he was 23-4-1 coming into the fight against Torres.

 

[Bishman]

MMA-GAF, we will see what RubxQub, who became a MMA fan yesterday through Kimbo thinks of the WEC and MMA in general after tonight.
