On a sidenote, did anyone else see the Faber/Pulver fight over the summer? I thought for WEC (which I consider to be kinda inferior) fighting, it was pretty good. But Faber was way too good for Pulver.

*Tank ABBOTT actually.
Kimbo/Tank sucked, theres a thread around here somewhere dedicated to it. If you want to see the "apex" of MMA then go hunt down a video of Matt Hughes/Frank Trigg II or Takanori Gomi/Nick Diaz from PRIDE.
And how can you call WEC inferior? They and UFC are under common ownership by Zuffa, so it's not like they are trying to compete with each other. And WEC actually showcases the smaller weight classes. Guys like Miguel Torres and Urijah Faber would never get air-time in the UFC. WEC has finally catapulted the Bantamweights and Featherweights into MMA's peripheral.
