Faber should have at least tried to sweep the leg. ALWAYS SWEEP THE LEG!!
Rosholt- Boring fighter, awesome chin.
Sonnen- Just glad to see him win. Wasn't very exciting but it was a smart plan against someone who just wanted to armbar him.
Brown- Wow. Great win, I'm sure he'll make a good champ.

The Harlem Globetrotters played college ball, some of em. i'm sure some of them were probly really good, and at least they were playing the same sport, in basketball, whereas here you're talking about a guy who excelled in wrestling and is therefore qualified to contend for the most prestigious title in mixed martial arts on only a couple wins. yep, a couple, literally. but you're so stupid, that having this conversation with you is almost as bad as watching an mma event. so i'm done here. this isn't even about Brock Lesnar at all, that's just all you want to talk about. cause you're fucking gay for the WWE's roid cock.

Seriously are you fucking blind?
First off I hate Brock. Don't think this fight needs to happen. However I realized long ago that to complain about one fight, with a legit threat to Couture, is retarded. The Kimbo problem was A) they protected him and B) gave us little else in terms of quality fights with quality fighters. Neither of these are a problem in the UFC. Couture is a little more then a fucking challenge. We just got Sherk/Tyson as an opening bout on a card that also featured Anderson Silva and Kosheck/Alves.
This year alone we have seen GSP/Fitch, Alves/Hughes, Nog/Syliva, Penn/Sherk, Anderson/Hendo, Wandy/Jardine, Rampage/Forrest, and many other quality bouts. If you don't want to watch, then fucking don't but don't bitch. It is pathetic.
And for everyone giving WEC shit for this event, let's not forget that WEC has put on TONS of awesome events. They're allowed one awful event.
At least WEC is about competition and not just about who's the most marketable and most popular. As far as I'm concerned, WEC is the gold standard in terms of respectable MMA orgs.

Until Faber gets a rematch or a title shot, I think that belt is going to get tossed around like a hot potatoe.
I feel bad for Brown as he won't be able to savor the title because I'm sure they are nearly finalized with the paperwork/signatures for an immediate rematch....they need Faber champ for their first PPV (am I wrong?). Faber as a challenger at least. But this leaves Leonard Garcia in limbo. But I'm sure the majority, myself included, would like to see Waggney Fabiano get a shot if he wins at the next WEC.
Rani vs. Torres is going to be a pretty good fight....anything that Torres touches is good in my book. But, as we all are aware, Torres will have to beat Tapia in less than a month. Would be nice to have all 4 of their belts defended on the PPV next year. Condit vs. ?? and Varner vs. Cerrone.
I wouldn't mind if a fighter came down from the UFC to fight against Condit. He has pretty much cleaned out the WEC WW division and there hasn't been anybody who has stepped up as a title contender....Brock Larson again? Nah. John Alessio again? Nah.

Rosholt- Boring fighter, awesome chin.
He looked like the love-child of Wes Sims and Takayama.
His wrestling is very solid. He was at ease with the takedowns and top positions. His stand-up is so horrible, though. He's lucky he has a good chin, because most fighters would be sleeping after those shots.

definately could be a bad thing, but Faber is the WEC....he's the golden boy and he got his clock cleaned tonight. It also doesn't help that Pulver got wrecked. The 145 division is wide open now and I'm sure they will not have Faber/Garcia fight it out in a non title fight.

Garcia will do the same thing. They should keep him away from the title for a bit, have him wreck some fools let everyone else battle over it, and let him fight whoever is left after the smoke clears.
I also think Faber needs to remember he is a grappler first.

Pulver is still a name and face for WEC to throw out there. He'll continue to pull in [die hard] viewers. He's definately done when it comes to the title picture.
Frankie Edgar needs to make his way to the WEC and the 145lbs division. Bocek should also venture to the 145 division

The first PPV will have to be fully stacked to gain the high buy rate. I think it would be tits if WEC can get Jake Shields to come in and fight Condit. I think they are the only 2 top 10 fighters that aren't in the UFC....is Condit in the top 10 here? Maybe I am wrong about Condit, but they are pretty much the best WW's not in the UFC. Maybe there is a WW in the UFC that needs a career boost. Look at Varner when he dropped out of the UFC, picked up some wins, and then came to the WEC.

I don't see as much hate on Faber as lack of acknowledging Brown as legit still. Wins over Curran, Yves and Faber in his last 5 should earn more than a dismissive mention as being a belt holder until Faber comes back for it. I'd still say he's an underdog, but the lack of respect shown for him is palpable.

I'm sorry, but I still can't believe no one gave Mike Brown even a punchers shot. Everyone just assumed it was another easy Faber title defense and that Brown was just some pushover, which isn't or wasn't the case.
Mike Brown has been on a tear since 2006 and beat Jeff Curran his last fight. He trains hard and gives every fight a 100%. I won't lie I thought Faber was going to win, but I thought it would be a lot closer fight then people expected and that Brown could upset him.
Plus add in the fact I'm sick of Frank Mir shoving Faber down our throats like he is the greatest thing since slice bread and can't be defeated. Plus I hated Faber's gay little dance to the cage.

Filho was getting dominated in that fight also. Sonnen was just an idiot who kept trying to GnP every time he got Filho down and he payed for it. Sonnen actually GAVE Filho his only chance of winning that fight. If Sonnen would of kept that fight standing like a smart fighter, he would of won that fight decisively also.

He probably got a nice contract extension while he was champ. Still doesn't explain Faber's bad one though unless he's getting uber-bonuses.

Faber would have cleared another $25k win bonus.

His base should at least be as good. No wonder he doesn't feel all that obligated to fight in the WEC and seems willing to chase his dream match ups outside of the Zuffa brand.

They don't have a whole lot of choice. They only do small arena's like the hardrock usually. They air on vs and score an average rating of 0.5. So they have to continue to turn a profit and the only way to do that is to keep expenses down. The little guys in fight sports are often shafted simply because your average audience member is only interested in the larger fighters.
Yeah, you can't really hate on the WEC payscale. It's a smaller org. Still, though, I think Faber does deserve a bit more, especially considering he was/is their poster boy. I'm sure he's cleaning up in sponsorship and other bonuses, though, so it may be a non-issue.

He'd of hit 40k with a win against an unranked fighter, plus a possible sub or ko of the night bonus. Losing hurts more than just your pride, I'm sure he feels it in the wallet.
It still seems a little low for a televised event even though it's cable.
I'm totally speculating here, but let's say that's his standard rate, and he fights 3 times a year. That puts him at 120k for his purses, add equal of that for his sponsors he's making a quarter mil a year. that's pretty good for a young guy who is traveling the world having fun, but it isn't set for life money for sure.

Yeah, I figured he'd atleast crack the top 10 after beating Curran.
MMAWeekly had him at #6.
