Mike Thomas Brown vs. Jose Aldo I see this like Brown /Faber Aldo has athleticism and talent but Brown sticks to the basics,hits real hard and is just a hardass. Aldo will probably do some leaping elbow into his fist

Aldo by Ong Bak in the first.

Wow, this card turned out to be the opposite of what I was expecting. I think the featherweight division may be the most exciting weight class in MMA right now.

Good call Hesperus...I cant believe that went down like that. I expected Brown to be able to do more, but Aldo looked like Anderson Silva out there.

I'm amazed to see Brown dominated like that.

Truely is a REALLY good division.

The announcing was flat out terrible for the Aldo-Brown fight. Mir seems to consider it his duty to nut-hug whoever the champion is so hard as to completely ignore any offence by their opponent and the other guy can't carry it by himself.

*Brown double jabs way short as Aldo floats out of range and circles
Mir: I really like that double jab Brown is using!
*Aldo lands a heavy leg-kick, Brown visibly stumbles
Mir: *appears to have popped out for a coffee*

Was the same for Torres-Mizugaki, starting to actually diminish my enjoyment of the excellent fights the WEC puts on.

You are just coming to this conclusion? Welcome to the party finally. Lol.

FWIW, I expected Aldo to beat Brown like this. I see a nice Brown-Aldo-Faber triangle dominating the weightclass for awhile. I think Aldo has Brown's number just like Brown has Faber's. I also think that Faber has what it takes to beat Aldo.
