I really hope that if Aldo wins…which he should…that he gets a crack at Wagnney Fabiano and the winner of that fight gets the winner of Brown/Faber.
Curious to see how Manny does at 145. I think he could be dangerous.
Frankie Edgar and Tyson Griffin should join Manny at featherweight. I’d like to see what they can do in a division where they’re not at an immediate disadvantage against the top guys.
THIS IS GONNA BE THE BEST CARD IN THE HISTORY OF THE WEC, AND I CANT SEE HOW THEY CAN TOP IT!!!! ITS AMAZING
agreed…this is one hell of a card. a lot of speed…a lot of power…a lot of fireworks from top to bottom!
war aldo!
mildly surprised that based on name recognition alone manny isn’t on the main card. then you look at the main card and in a way, as an mma fan, it makes sense.
good job wec.
this is a good card, I cant wait! WEC always puts on a good show!
I like both fighters in the main event but have to go with Faber, I mean he’s hands down the most dominant in this weight class in the WEC.
