    I am looking forward to seeing Faber fight. He is a very good featherweight.

    I think Faber is going to get crushed.

    Henderson vs. Cerrone 2 is the fight I'm most looking forward to.

    I like Faber a lot. I like Aldo, too.

    That said, I think Aldo knocks Faber's ass the fuck out.

    Why, again, is Faber getting ANOTHER title shot?

    Stefan Bonnar will do commentary for this show and all WEC shows going forward as his schedule allows. He's permanently replaced Frank Mir.

    Mir is a good commentator but he tends to cheer for his favourites. I thought Bonnar did a great job at the last show and was very unbiased.

    Except Zuffa doesn't trust the level-headed and unbiased WEC crew so instead it will be Joe and Goldy on the mic.

    Huh?

    Per Dana's Twitter, the following prelims will be on SpikeTV prior to the PPV broadcast:

    - Leonard Garcia (13-5-) vs. Chan Sung Jung (10-1)
    - Alex Karalexis (10-4 MMA) vs. Anthony Pettis (8-1)

    Pettis is going to crush Karalexis. This will be his coming out party.

    I love Garcia, but he's so undisciplined. I'd pick the Korean Zombie to win but Asian fighters have looked so bad in general when they come to North America. You just don't know what you're gonna get out of them.

    that Garcia/Jung fight was ridiculously great. Just a complete slug fest.

    I have yet to see a bad WEC event. Maybe one bad fight on a card, but there's always one or two fights worth talking about after the event and usually more.

    Totally skipped my mind that they were showing prelims on spike, now I am disappointed I missed the fight.
