As with every major show we'll be here to bring you live results and commentary on WEC 39 Brown vs. Garcia. The live blog will start with the beginning of the Versus broadcast at 9pm ET so make sure to make Bloody Elbow your home for this event.
As always we have our one rule: NO SPOILERS! In the interest of not ruining anything from the undercard that may make the broadcast we ask that you do not discuss the results of the undercard in the comments until either the broadcast ends or the fight makes the air.
So again, join me for the show and share your thoughts as the event unfolds.
It's 9:00 Eastern and the show is getting started. First fight up shortly.
Big props to Baudelaire for the image.
Rob McCullough vs Marcus Hicks - Is up first and I'm really thinking Hicks is going to pull off the W here. Round 1 - Feeling out with pawing jabs to start the fight, no one really engaging yet. The crowd is turning as they've yet to engage over a minute 15 into the round. Overhand left by Hicks and he follows to a clinch. Knees in the clinch from McCullough as he has Hicks up against the cage. The ref separates them and they're back to the center of the cage. Left from Hicks lands. More boos from the crowd as they don't engage and as I type that an overhand left from Hicks lands again. Low kick from Rob now. Hicks clinches up with him again but is unable to get the takedown. Again they're restarted. Body shot by Hicks under the punch from Rob. Body kick by McCullough there. It wasn't a crowd pleaser but I give the round to Hicks 10-9. Round 2 - Low kick from Robv and Hicks drops him with a huge punch they go to the ground and Hicks grabs one of his patented guillotines and he is squeezing as Rob is fighting but McCullough gets out and is going wild throwing punches but he isn't really landing and Hicks just stands up. Low blow from Rob now and the action is halted briefly. Body kick from McCullough now. Rob is landing some more punches now but with 2 minutes left I've still got Hicks winning the round since he dropped McCullough with a punch. Hicks is fading and Rob lands a nice combination. Hicks is gassed here. Body shot by Marcus. Overhand left by Hicks lands. A flurry of punches lands and Hicks with a right hand to answer. Another overhand left lands. 10-9 Hicks in a VERY close round on my card on the strength of the knockdown/sub attempt. Round 3 - Over a minute of pawing jabs before Hicks lands a glancing left straight (he's a lefty). More of the same as we're down to half a round left in the fight. Low kick from Rob. Overhand left lands flush for Hicks. The ref threatens a "no contest" if they don't engage which is garbage as there is 90 seconds left. Hicks tries for a takedown but can't get it. Overhand left for Marcus again. Tight left hook for Hicks now. McCullough isn't doing enough in this round for me, not that Hicks is doing a lot but he's landign the flush shots every now and then with the left hand. 10-9 Hicks again and the BloodyElbow scorecard is 30-27 Hicks. Official Scorecards: 29-29, 30-27, 29-28 Rob McCullough. Rob McCullough wins by Majority Decision.
Chris Mickle vs Jose Aldo - Round 1 - Aldo looking a little wild and Mickle is throwing really wide punches. Big leg kick from Aldo now. Another very solid leg kick and then a fist to the face. Knee to the chest by Aldo and he unloads a flurry of punches as Mickle just covers up along the fence and the ref is forced to step in. It was well over 10 unanswered punches so a solid stoppage. Jose Aldo wins by TKO (Strikes), round 1.
Damacio Page vs Marcos Galvao - Round 1 - Right hand from Galvao and Page answers and now Page is unloading...absolutely UNLOADING. Galvao is down and it is a couple HUGE shots from Page and it's all over...damn that was some brutal action. Damacio Page wins by KO, round 1.
Ricardo Lamas vs Bart Palaszewski - Round 1 - Lamas looks like he is looking to slowly get into the fight as Bart is ready to go right away. Solid early leg kicks from Bart. Lamas catches one of Barts legs on a low kick and takes him down. Bart brings his legs up high looking for an arm but doesn't get anything. Legs high again and Lamas avoids a near triangle and is now standing over Bart and landing a few solid punches. Lamas jumps and Bart kicks him to the side and they're back to standing. Lamas looking for a single leg again. Bart concedes the takedown finally and tries to lock up an arm. Now Lamas stands up and throws a big flurry of punches. Bart slands up and has a mouse under his eye but he flurries with three punches to the body and one to the head. 10-9 round for Lamas. Round 2 - A few punches exchanged and Lamas clinches up. Bart with underhooks and Lamas tries for a hiptoss but it doesn't amount to anything. Bart tries to separate and throw punches but Ricardo is smothering him with the cage hump. Lamas has his back standing and manages to throw a kick to the face from behind. Lamas is trying to use the fence to tkae the back but couldn't get it. Bart with an armlock but can't finish and now Lamas is on top unloading punches again but Bart is blocking most of them. Legs high and Bart looks like he briefly had the armbar but Ricardo gets out. Three upkick combo from Bart and he stands up eating some big punches on the way. The round ends and it's been pretty much all Lamas but Palaszewski is showing great heart. 10-9 Lamas. Round 3 - Bart is looking to throw combos early. Leg kick from Bart now. Low blow from Lamas there on accident. High kick blocked from Bart. Three punch combo now and Bart looks determined to make SOMETHING happen here. A few more shots from Bart but Lamas with the takedown. It's just smothering from the top now from Ricardo. 10-9 for Lamas again and my card reads 30-27. Official scorecards - 30-27 Ricardo Lamas across the board. Ricardo Lamas wins by unanimous decision.
Mike Brown vs Leonard Garcia for the WEC Featherweight Championship - Round 1 -Garcia looks his usual slighly manic self and Brown with a HUGE overhand right which drops Garcia. Brown is on top smashing him and now has Garcia's back. Garcia is bleeding badly and is fighting off the choke. Back to Garcia's guard and Brown is pouring it on with elbows. Pass to full mount now and the arm triangle is sunk, Garcia taps out and Brown just dominated every second of that fight. Mike Brown wins by submission (head and arm triangle), round 1.

Me too, I hope he wins just to see him hop the cage and book it into the audience again. That was one of the best celebrations evah, especially since he’d just beat the hometown fighter.
Also the rumor is he’s dropping to bantamweight after this fight. Aldo vs. Torres would be silly awesome.

Undercard
I am disappointed that we are almost guaranteed that these will be the only four fights we fans see tonight. If the fights are quick, Versus will just give us more commercials. Hope the network gets its act together. I still have a hard time swallowing that I had to watch lackluster fights like Sonnen-Filho II & Rosholt v. Osterneek, while being denied a fight of the year candidate in McCullough v. Cerrone. Less commercials, more fights, 3 hour time slot.

Versus splits an HD station with The Golf Channel. Look for “GolfHD,” that’s what my provider (Time Warner) lists it under.

True story..
Bart Palaszewski’s mom was right behind my seat at the press table at the IFL GP show that took place in Chicago. And she may be the most obnoxious crowd member ever. Amazingly shrill “GO BAAAAAAART! COME ON BAAAAAAART!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART!!!!” for 15 straight minutes. A guy turned around and yelled “shut up bitch!” and she shot back a “HE’S MY SOOOOOOOOOON!”
