Horodecki seems more than a tad below Cerrone's level
And Varner has a hell of a fight cut out for him in Roller.
I wasn't too thrilled with WEC 50 (Cruz/Benavidez was an ugly fight)
They are STACKING these cards.
Michael Robinson leads the Seahawks in completion percentage, yards-per-attempt, and QB rating.
I don't know if STACKED isn

WTF
Why not Horodecki vs. Roller and fucking do the God Damn Rubber Match?! I need closure and I think everyone else does too. It was a perfect scenario!
I like both of these match-ups though but I feel this war between Cerrone and Varner will never be case closed and will always be an open book damnit. How long must I wait Sean Shelby I waited a year and a half for the damn rematch.
GRRRRR :P

Why would you want to see an immediate rubber match? It’s not like the last one was even competitive. Move Cerrone up the ladder and give Varner some time to retool and make adjustments. Save the rubber match for a later date when it might actually mean something.

NO
Cerrone doesn’t need to be moved up the ladder. He got three shots at the LW belt in 18 months. he purposely uses illegal Kongo-like low blows in his fights, he whines as bad as Varner when he loses, and his actions in the cage (and leading up to the second Varner fight) were douchebaggery at its worst. i have no desire to see that jackwad fight, least of all for the title.

He may have come off as douchey but at least he was real.
The first fight with Varner needed a rematch, Cerrone fucked up and Varner rightly kept his belt. The first Bendo fight is one of the greatest MMA fights of all time in my opinion and could have gone either way. Once again a deserved rematch. Now with Ed I don’ t know what was going thru Donald’s head. I can understand you not liking the man but he’s been a part of some incredible fights, and I would watch him fight on every card.

Varner got his ass kicked and if Cerrone had KO power he was finished

I'm really liking the Shalarus/Bart fight
It’s gonna be a slugfest with little to no technique or regard for human life.

Shalorus is another wrestler who thinks he's an awesome boxer
Gonna love that fight.

What makes you say that?
I think Bart can put together his strikes better but Shalarus has the ability to put him on his ass if he wants and he’s got a great chin and hits really hard. Bart can get caught and I think that’s what will happen

Shane Roller > Chris Horodecki
It looks to me like Cerrone went down the ladder in competition and Varner went up. There is no doubt Varner is facing a much stiffer opponent. Also it isn’t like I am the only one calling for a rubber match both Cerrone and Varner wanted it they both expressed deep interest and in what better way to do it than in Varner’s backyard. It will bring closure to the debacle is all I am saying I just want to see it because I have a sick feeling that the match will never come to fruition now. Especially after this event.

This is what stuck out to me as well. I know both Cerrone and Horodeski is coming off wins, and both Varner and Roller are coming off losses, but still.
Should be good matches anyway, card is looking super sweet!

100% speculating here, but it’s kind of interesting that six of the seven fights here are at 155 and four of them will most likely be on the main card along with Cruz/Jorgensen. Could this be the final event for the WEC 155 division, with some of the 155 fights here and at WEC 52 serving as UFC eliminator fights?
There are an odd amount of lightweight fights
Correct me if I’m wrong but I think Danny Castillo, Will Kerr, Dave Jansen and Ed Ratcliff are the only available LWs without a fight in the next two events.
Good catch, didn’t reflect about that. Interesting.

Why do people talk about Akiyama and Huerta
when Horodecki is MUCH hotter than them?
you’re saying I must be a child to think Horodecki is hot? Well, I am not old, but I am 25.

No
We’re calling you a pedophile, you know…considering that they posted a bunch of pedophile related pictures.
West coast sucks a dick. 2Pac had nothing on Big and Easy E and Magic Johnson got HIV cause West Coast broads are dirty as hell. I wish I was from New Jersey because the shitty bagels and pizza I have out here are making my butthole bleed.

Lol sure, did not get it. But he is only two years younger than me, so I guess that’s not the case.

OK, just didn’t want you to think we were seriously bashing you, just some light hearted fun that we all give and receive.
It’s great that guys around here joke instead of bashing, much different from sherdog.
