Chris Horodecki’s still fighting at 155?

He;s a good prospect give him a chance before you give him the boot to drop weight.
Chris Horodecki vs. Ed Ratcliff is goin’ be one hell of a fight.
he is a good prospect....
But he’s very soft at 155. I just feel he’s better suited at 145. I realize the loss to Njukawani wasn’t due to size difference but it’s apparent he’s going to be outsized in every contest at LW. Yes my spelling of Njukawani was no where near correct.

How is Fabiano/Gomez on the prelims? And where is the endless parade of top 10 bantam and featherweight fighters? I hate to say it but this is their worst card in a long time.
They just need to move a few prelims up to the televised card and it’ll be good. Fabiano, Assuncao, and Campuzano should all be on the televised card…especially ahead of Charlie Valencia.

They blew their load on Aldovs.Faber FC. What did you expect?

Rafael vs Nunes will be a sweet fight...
It’s a lot better fight than some of the main card fights. I really hope it gets bumped up.
There are 4 fights on the prelims that should be on the main card
Wagney being one of them and Assuncao.

wineland vs valencia is a great fight ..both guys are like 3-1 in their last 4 fights.
varner/ shalorus are 2 of their top lightweights outside of henderson and cerrone, should be a great fight.
assuancao/nunes i hope gets televised, easily the best fight of the undercard.
the main card has great matchups on it, top to bottom. plus nunes/assuncao and the debut renan barao …keep an eye on him, he got skills.
I really like this card,
Fabiano is the man, I don’t like Shalorus’ chances against Varner but I’m gonna enjoy the fight it’s gonna be a ugly slugfest except both of these guys have good power for 155. I think Ratcliff takes Horodecki , not just because of his last fight but Ed is a tough mother and has good striking I haven’t seen Horodecki do anything except probably two of the top 5 most embarrassing ends to a fight I have ever seen.

wow Karen Darabedyan on the undercard??
Are u kidding me..
Horodecki on the main card
And Assuncao and Fabiano on the under card. I don’t care what anybody says, the WEC’s lightweight division is a detriment.
"I am a man who pisses largely and frequently, which they say is a sign of great mental activity" -Henry Miller-
And there's an injury already. Down goes Charlie Valencia!

That sucks, i’m a fan of Wineland and wanted to see him get some shine on the main card for the first time since his return to the WEC.
This card is very solid with the return of Grispi who if he wins this will probably get the next title shot, it should be another great WEC no one puts on better cards than these guys.
ATX Signifyin'!
WAR SHALORUS!

Valencia is off the Card
from mma junkie So who is Wineland going to frustrate with his amazing head movement now.
I want to see the improvement of Will Campuzano, the kid showed flashes of brilliance against Ox Wheeler. His only loss is to Damacio Page who straight blitzed him in his first WEC debut (criminal mismatch, but with the bantams being so new these things will happen) Despite the WEC blowing their title load with the last 2 events this is still a pretty good free card. And even more reason to start the fabled Flyweight division.
The WEC has to hate Horodecki
Because they’re definitely trying to kill him.

Preliminary bouts
Why all the exciting fighters are in the preliminary fights and not in the main card?
Wagnney, Rafael and Diego are far more fun to watch than Wineland or Wineland…
