The WEC doesn't do Cub Swanson any favors. He seems to get a steady diet of studs.

He was one of the WEC's most exciting young fighters at 145 during the Faber domination era. Since, he has been hurt and hit or miss, mainly because he keeps fighting monsters. He has lost to Aldo and Jens Pulver in the last couple years.

He is probably best known for being the guy who Jose Aldo crushed with that double flying knee that the WEC plays in every highlight package of Aldo.

It's tonight, kids. Woo! There's sure to be a huge amount of bangers.

Cruz's movement in the last fight was incredible. Real excited.

9:00 EST??

Excited to see Jorgensen get his title shot after he finishes Pickett.

Team Alpha Male goes 3-0

Is it me or does Team Alpha Male come off as a bunch of arrogant douche bags? I enjoyed watching Uriah get tortured by Aldo, wouldnt mind seeing Cruz work Bena the same but I doubt, the gap in talent isnt as big. I see Cruz winning in a bloody war.

Hope the Vazquez fight makes it to TV, dude is a absolute stud off his back. He may not have the grappling credentials as Yaha but homeboys Jits is just as effective in a MMA setting.

I like the Alpha Male crew, but I also like Koscheck and Leben who others think are douche bags.

I like Leben and Kos too, there's just something avout those dudes that bug.

I've gayed-up threads, but never to this degree.

Whoa Jorganson/Pickett was pretty wild, those are 2 tuff dudes.

That was an awesome fight. That Mendez(?) fight was the reason why I dislike watching many wrestlers.

Title fight was excellent too. That's all I'm saying, no more spoilers from me.

I agree, Mendes is boring, it was obvious Cub wanted to put on a show.

He didn't look to do anything. No improving of position, no strikes, no subs, no nuthin.

Pickett/Jorgensen was a war. Awesome fight, with both guys landing heavy shots. Unfortunately, I was tired and fell asleep after that fight. From what I'm reading, the rest of the fights were solid. Excited for Pettis.
