I hadn't seen this posted yet, so here goes.

Aside from the absolute monster Urijah Faber, and another beast in Jens Pulver, you've got great wrestlers on this card. Both Okie State guys Rosholt and Hendricks, and Chael Sonnen (U of Oregon). Catch it if you get versus.

I was unaware of the date it was switched to, thank you sir.

Urijah easily, i'd guess.
Jens... (sigh... grrr)

Sonnen vs. Filho shall be a great fight!

I hate that i don't have Versus... 3 types of "Home Improvement" channels, and no Versus.

Also, Even being a wrestler in MMA, i despise Johnny Hendricks.

Jens vs Garcia will be the fight of the night...Garcia is the guy who Huerta fought in a slobber knocker awhile back in April...he will give Pulver fits.. :rolleyes:

I love versus for the WEC! I love Johnny Hendricks in MMA. Less of a cock than Lesnar for sure, and his style fits a fighter well. I say good luck to him. When will Volkmann get his chance?

yeah, i sorta wrote off Hendricks, but maybe i can get used to him...

But I really hope Pulver gets it handed to him on a silver platter.

They only showed 3 fights on VS, a little dissapointed. They showed Aaron Simpsons 20 second KO, and then the two main events. Sonnen owned Filho. Filho looked like he didn't care and he did not make weight. That is pathetic. Then Mike Brown caught Faber and TKOed him. Very surprising, but Brown has got some power.

Dude, you tuned in a little too late, then. Because they showed more than that. The TV guide listing was wrong ... they really went live when it said WEC's greatest knockouts was supposed to be on at 7.

Great night of fights. Rosholt took a beating but somehow still won.

Jens got KTFO! Leonard Garcia is the real deal. Guessing he'll be fighting Mike Brown for the title in the near future.

No offense to anyone, but it was kind of cool to see Faber lose!

Overall a great night of fights, minus the Filho-Sonnen fight. Filho should be embarrassed, but Sonnen shouldn't feel much better. Just a brutal fight all around. I don't think Filho is a top-10 fighter any more. He can't make weight, and if he can't get his opponent to the ground, he struggles.

Oh well ... I enjoyed it!

Great night of fights...I knew Garcia would give Pulver a hard time but I sure didn't expect that outcome.

Who would have thought that the two guys headlining WEC 34 in June would both be knocked out in the first round.

The guy that impressed me the most was Jake Rosholt...holy cripes can that guy bring it...and a chin made of cement to boot. :D I expect big things from him in the future.

Dang it!!@!! I will have to see if they re air it! Sonnen has nothing to be embarrassed about. Filho clammed up, basically giving the win to Sonnen, why should he put himself at risk against a guy who never made weight in the first place and doesn't seem to even care in the ring?

Well, who do you think Sonnen impressed with that fight? Not me, that's for sure. What risk would he be putting himself in? There was no title on the line, so why not go all-out until the final bell?

I understand what you're saying. But he played it too safe in the last round ... and he should have been letting Filho stand up the entire time, including the first round when his corner had to be going insane!

Filho might be done. He just doesn't have his head on right.

Sonnen will get a shot somewhere ... hopefully the UFC soon. I like the guy, and I hope he does well. I just didn't like that last round.

It will be interesting to see what Zuffa does with all of the 185ers from the WEC.

I see your point too. I definitely think Sonnen, Filho, and Rosholt all have a lot to add to the UFC.

If i remember right, Zuffa takes all vid's on YouTube down w/out their consent.

Story time...
so im sitting in class, and trying to watch the vids on youtube during Desktop Publishing, and i can't find them... and im getting very angry. So finally i threw a fit and yelled SON OF A #$%^@ ! and the teacher finally notices that i was on YouTube, and comes up behind me, creepy-like, and starts rubbin my shoulder and talking down to me like, "Now CropDuster... you're not supposed to be on that, and you know that... Exit NOW!"
of course, CropDuster isn't my real name... :D
But still, she creeped me out crazy! Teachers shouldn't be allowed to sneak up on you like that.
enough lame story time.

Sonnen-Filho sounds a little LackLuster like Silva-Cote???
Rosholt did good i hear? nice to see a wrestler tearin it up... as Sonnen too...
How did Hendricks fair?
JENS GOT KTFO'd? NICE!!! ATTA BOY GARCIA!
and Faber got beat... smooth...
I officially admit i was wrong on Faber being able to be Top 5 as a LW in the UFC. You may commence as you may at me.

I hate not having VS.

OH dude, I was loving the Versus HD!!! Nothing like fights in HD on the big screen. Seeing Faber walk into that right hand after trying a stupid spinning elbow, priceless!

Hendricks didn't fight. He's rumored to be on the Dec. 3 WEC card, though I'm not sure if that's been confirmed by the WEC yet. Duster, you better get Versus before that!

I wouldn't say Rosholt looked awesome by any means. He's still way, way behind on his striking. I would say he showed that he has an amazing chin. He took an absolute beating ... but he stayed on his feet through it, weathered the storm, then took Nissen down and pounded him out. Nissen blew his wad when he thought Rosholt was hurt, and he had nothing left. It was an entertaining fight, that's for sure.

They didn't show his fight, but I see Razor Rob lost again. Stick a fork in that guy!

Can't wait for the Dec. 3 card. Hopefully Duster will get Versus and his coach will let him out of practice in time to watch!

Cropduster, I watched the Faber/Brown fight both last night and then a few minutes ago on YouTube so you can find it there now. I thought the way Faber started out fighting Brown was interesting and had expected the fight to go to the ground but the fight didn't last long enough. Faber is so fast it really worked to his disadvantage last night. Faber had just defended an attempted takedown by Brown. Faber came off the fence and was attempting to hit Brown with an elbow when Brown tagged him and Faber was stunned. Brown then jumped on him and started raining blows and when Faber didn't defend himself the fight was stopped. This should be a good rematch to see.

I got Dish, which is a total peice being it doesnt have VS...
But i get FSN which shows old IFL, some Elite XC, and very little Pride (my favorite out of the 3, except IFL with Horodecki).
and Big Ten, which was rare for a while haha.

Dec. 3rd is right before the big Roch Tourney, BP... So i HAVE to get prepared if i plan on being active that day haha... You'll just have to give me a recap on here ;)
Thanks Bleacherseat, good recap. I'll have to watch that.

I had it Tivo'd and finally watched the card last night. Man, somebody needs to tell Rosholt that this isn't wrestling and you need to protect your face while standing up. I thought he was done until his opponent fell down. Very strange and exciting turn of events. Great fight.

Aaron Simpson is a former head assistant wrestling coach at ASU. Ortiz fired him for no apparent reason. Good to see Simpson get the knock out.
