    Kinda confused how Garcia went from a #1 contender fight to undercard?

    well the WEC probably figured with their time restrictions, being on live tv, they'd showcase some up and coming contenders than a guy that just got demolished? I thought it was weird too though.

    Re: WEC 42: Torres vs. Bowles (Aug. 9th)

    Yesterday was the worst day ever. I had to have emergency surgery so I couldn't watch 101 til this morning, did that, now I got WEC 42 tonight? Amazing.

    I still can't believe Garcia went from title shot to undercard (so did Leites, but he's a bum).

    Garcia was so out of steam after the first round. Great heart to go on and win the fight.

    I think Frank Mir might rape Jeff Curran tonight. He can't come on any harder.

    Pretty huge storm around the T-dot right now. The channels coming from there are a little screwed. Hopefully my internet stays on.

    Holy commercials... how is the WEC going to fit this into a 2-hour broadcast?

    WOW!

    Benavidez vs. Cruz will be a strong candidate for Fight of the Year.

    Re: WEC 42: Torres vs. Bowles (Aug. 9th)

    I'm not super surprised Bowles won, he was always going to be a tough match-up for Torres; but a first round knockout? Torres totally flattened? Quite surprising.

    I think Frank Mir is going to lock himself in his hotel room tonight with Curran, Benavidez and Torres all losing.

    Re: WEC 42: Torres vs. Bowles [Results]

    I'd like to see Torres vs. Benavidez and Bowles vs. Cruz in three months. That would be killer.
