Did anyone catch it? Some great fights and the production was tight. It was everything I wish the Ultimate Fight Nights were, with few commercial interruptions and very little unnecessary promotion. Mir wasn't too bad as a commentator. Looking forward to more shows like these.

Yah, I saw it (I'm glad my gf made me watch, it was worth it).
From what I saw: WEC = UFC Minor League
Still some good fights, though.

From what I saw: WEC = UFC Minor League Even though it's been explicitly stated otherwise, I agree with you on this. It was pretty good though. I know Micah Miller fought on the undercard, and I wish I could have seen it. I've seen that guy fight in local shows in Georgia and he's always put on a good show. Hell, I don't even know if he won or lost. I need to check.
Edit - I just checked. Micah Miller lost in the "fight of the night." I hope they broadcast it later.
It is a UFC feeder promotion except it allows top featherweights to fight at their weight instead of forcing them up to 155. I think this is a great thing for the smaller fighters, especially for guys like Faber, who is an absolute animal at Featherweight.
ufc feeder 100% except for 145'ers and 135'ers. but a lot of the guys in the wec need to come to the ufc... cough razor rob.

Faber made me wet last night.....the guy's a freaking monkey. And that Jiu-Jitsu guy from Brazil who's gameplan was to just keep rushing forward to single-leg! And then actually WON via RNC!!! He's my hero. Who says you need a standup game to win in MMA? hahaha
versus needs to be moved to basic cable.

Excellent point, I agree 100%.

Rani Yahya? That was funny. I thought he'd get knocked out chasing after Hominick like that. Even funnier was his post-fight interview: "He hit me and I don't remember anything happening after that"
I lol'd in lower case letters.

Hah. Yeah I just watched some of Yahya's other fights on youtube. Seems that's his gameplan for every fight, it just took him a little longer with Hominick.
*wipes away a tear* The spirit of mono-stylistic Jiu-Jitsu in MMA lives on....

It's on my (comcast, south east) basic package. I also get the HD version. :new_silly

It was on my basic upstate, here it's on my digital package.
Solid, but I'm glad they went with blue for the octagon floor. The gray was a little TOO much like the UFC.

Gah, I need to reprogram my DVR for things like this if it is on IO.

IO's got VS on two channels for some reason, 146 and 408.
The card itself was pretty good. Lots of finishes. For something free and not really hyped to an extreme, it outperformed Dynamite easily.
