Re: WEC 44: Brown vs. Aldo (Nov. 18th) I'd rather see any of these fights 145lbs. L.C. Davis vs. Diego Nunes 145lbs. John Franchi vs. Cub Swanson 135lbs. Antonio Banuelos vs. Kenji Osawa instead of Rob McCullough fight. I just find he fights not to lose rather than to win.
Re: WEC 44: Brown vs. Aldo (Nov. 18th) This event has been flying pretty low under the radar but it should be a good show from the WEC, as always. I'm curious to see what Aldo can do when he is in deep waters.
Re: WEC 44: Brown vs. Aldo (Nov. 18th) For Canadian viewers, this event is being shown Saturday on TSN2 at 11:00PM EST. So I'll find a stream if I can. Why is WEC going head-to-head with TUF? Beats me.
Re: WEC 44: Brown vs. Aldo (Nov. 18th) aaaargh freaking TSN2... it's like the Canadian version of Vs. hardly anyone gets it... thanks alot Toronto Sports Network ... jackoffs.
Re: WEC 44: Brown vs. Aldo (Nov. 18th) for shits and giggles, here are my fight predictions. Mike Brown-KO-3 Manny Gamburyan-Dec-3 Rob McCullough-KO-1 Danny Castillo-KO-3 Kamal Shalorus-Dec-3 Diego Nunes-Dec-3 Cub Swanson-Sub-1 Antonio Banuelos-Dec-3 Ricardo Lamas-Dec-3 Seth Dikun-Sub-1 this is a very balanced card, very tough to call IMO.

Re: WEC 44: Brown vs. Aldo (Nov. 18th) Manny Gamburyan (11-5) vs. Leonard Garcia (17-4) This fight has been disappointing. Two explosive fighters aren't doing anything explosive.

It wasn't broadcast in Canada and I was playing FIFA/watching TUF with a friend so I didn't get to see any of this event. I really want to see Aldo's knockout, must be great.
Somewhat measly $10,000 bonuses were given out to the following fighters... Knockout of the Night -- Jose Aldo Submission of the Night -- Shane Roller Fight of the Night -- Cub Swanson vs John Franci
