Ahh, the final WEC. I may shed a tear for the most exciting MMA promotion when this one ends.

You know a card is stacked when Roller vs Varner and Pickett vs Menjivar are prelims.

This one is bittersweet. It's definitely a sad occasion for us WEC fans who will not be getting all of those outstanding, free cards throughout the year but it is a great opportunity for those fighters who provided us with all of that entertainment. This one looks like it will be no different. This is as stacked a card as the WEC has ever had. I'd love to see Henderson get a title shot against Edgar or Maynard and I'd love to see Jorgensen enter the UFC as the champ.

I hope Brittney Palmer gets to make the transition over the the UFC. She is hot.

Re: WEC 53: Henderson vs. Pettis

Three of my favorite LW's in WEC are on the card... I love Henderson and Pettis, I'll be happy for either one. I just can't wait to see how these guys do against the UFC LW's.

I haven't heard of any of the pre lim guys, but doing a quick search I see a ton of guys with nice records and who train with big name guys...... should be exciting !

Haven't heard of Varner?

The big prospect on the prelims to me is Barao and his 23 fight win streak. Hopefully we can see his fight along with Pickett/Menjivar.

Re: WEC 53: Henderson vs. Pettis

A guy a work with knows Lamas so I'm hoping he can continue his winning ways and would like to see his fight make the broadcast. I also want to see Roller/Varner. Hell, I want to see them all!

Re: WEC 53: Henderson vs. Pettis

This crowd is terrible. Fight was on the ground for literally 10 seconds and they start booing.

Also from looking at the prelim results, it looks like we may get to see a couple of them.

Re: WEC 53: Henderson vs. Pettis

Nice win by the Cowboy, even though that really wasn't any competition for him, he had too much of a height and reach advantage.

Re: WEC 53: Henderson vs. Pettis

Did Todd Harris really call for a stand up when Cerrone had the triangle locked in for 2 minutes?
