    might as well be if Zuffa own it :D

    Was just about to bump the other thread about the stream to remind folks, ill be waiting for a cheaper source given my current job less ness :(

    But this cant fail to be anything less than a cracker , even the bad wec events are better than average / good UFC events :pac:

    Im looking forward to this always great fast paced fights. Torres is going to run through Bowles tonight.

    Man that bantamweight division is fast becoming my fav to watch. Very rearly a bad fight. All action fights. GREAT. Frank Mir talks some crap as co commentater he is no joe rogan.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,081 ✭✭✭Fromvert


    I'm shocked Torres lost, Bowles caught him with some great shots.


  • Registered Users Posts: 36 mmaniac


    Shock of the year. Cant believe it. Great performance from bowles. Motherfeckers shut down the stream just be4 the stoppage had to scramble to find another one. Much better nite of fights tonight than last nite.

    wow what a fight, just watched torres and bowels. will watch the rest later.

    fights like this are why espn or someone MUST start showing WEC here.

    I thought Torres was going to KO him at the end landing 4 or 5 nice shots, next thing he's on the canvas being pounded :eek:

    Had to watch it again to see that it was a right hand with bowels stepping back that dropped Torres. just like silva and griffin !!!

    Shocked at the Torres result. He got KTFO.

    Bowles reminds me of Mike Brown - strong, good wrestler, can eat a few shots and then throw a fight-ender himself. You could see from the first exchange that Torres was going to have to avoid every punch Bowles threw to stay on his feet. Also, thought the stoppage was fairly late, quite a few unanswered shots at the end.

    Was not expecting that at all.

    Mir was great on this show! He had a few lines where it sounded like he was told to stop speaking :pac:

    The Torres loss didn't surprise me as much as the Faber loss. Bowles is a very impressive fighter and nobody's unbeatable

    There were some great fights. Much better than the UFC show

    I thought that Curran won myself. Last round was definitely his, as was the second

    I was hoping the WEC would be on tv here also but obviuosly not. Anyone know where you can watch it online?

    Thanks

    Illegal stream

    I think ESPN or someone has to take that on. I watched some of them fights and thought they were brilliant. Particularly liked Garcia and Massou. Great heart from both.

    Agreed, as said on the commentary he was winning the bloody fight from the bottom in the last round delivering far better strikes, and the triangle at the end was a thing of beauty. I just wish curren kept pounding when he flipped him

    I agreed with all the decisions, I would have given Curran the last round but none of the others. Judging in the US still hasnt evolved to a point where wining a round from bottom is likely

    Still so much focus on wrestling in the US so top=pin=win
    I always preferred Prides judging criteria since it was judged on the fight as a whole instead of round by round and attempts to finish a fight were the highest scoring criteria
