- Seriously so fucking awesome.
- Look for TUF 13 to be Faber vs. Torres if both are victorious in their upcoming fights. Will most likely be 135 and 145 pounders which is awesome. My guess is guys who have competed in Dream and Sengoku will be included as well as Bellator/KOTC washouts. Torres will be gold on Spike and Faber will further his stranglehold on being the most recognizable lighterweight fighter.
- The UFC has been trying to break into the hispanic market for a long time. Now that Cain is champ, don't be surprised if there is a Latino card with Torres, Dominick Cruz, Joseph Benevidez, as well as UFC fighters like Diego Sanchez. The timing is perfect.
- Jose Aldo will defend his FW belt on January 1st. Talk about saving the UFC NYE card which was seriously shitty after Carwin pulled out.
- Sucks we don't get free WEC cards on Versus anymore. But we now get 4 UFC cards on the channel as well as the normal amount of Spike Broadcasts.
- Rumors of a network deal make sense as the UFC is keeping every WEC fighter. That's a ton of depth and makes these cards very strong, at least in my eyes. How casual fans react will be very telling.
- Winner of Pettis/Hendeson fights the winner of Edgar/Maynard. I'm excited for this fight even though most of you aren't. Great style match ups besides Pettis/Maynard.
- Seriously this is fucking awesome.
- Finally, I'm going to pour one out for the WEC. You were a great organization that never disappointed. Good luck to all the fighters.
Shit just got really real.
ReplyDeleteThe LW situation adds an interesting element. I would give Bendo or Pettis a slightly better chance than I figure most would.
We talked about this, but besides Pettis/Maynard, the other 3 fights are awesome. I'm also excited to see how Cerone and Varner do in the UFC lw division.
