    Also, Frank Mir went from being one of the best MMA commentators to being a complete sycophant in the span of a few minutes tonight. His love for Torres was very distracting. Mizugaki won rounds one and three but you'd never know if you were listening to Mir, who gushed about Torres throughout the fight. Even when Torres would lose exchanges, which happened frequently, Mir wouldn't give Mizugaki any credit. He'd compliment Torres on something instead.

    I ate dinner rewatching this fight yesterday and damn, I can't remember what I was eating. The fight was enthralling.

    Thanks for the link speeds. Damn that was a siiick fight. The WEC is slowly building up a very, very solid roster of fighters. Can't wait for Faber/Brown II.
