    Very pleased - I'm a big fan of the WEC - much more exciting fights.

    I'd rather aldo fight than anyone else right now:

    Sweet, I'm a huge fan of the lighter divisions.

    I just made a bet with my buddy that it would happen within a year, he owes me $50 bucks.

    They're nuts. You gotta watch out for the little guys, we won't quit. Ever.

    It's gonna be interesting to say the least. I'm sure a few guys in the lightweight division will drop down to 145 as well. I'm pretty excited for this to happen, I have been waiting a long time. Might have to take my training a little more seriously now....

    poor Brock is getting hammered by the MMA press recently. heres a good short read:
    http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2010/11/3...or-easier-prey
    Against Shane Carwin he ran across the cage to avoid thunderous blows. Against Cain Velasquez he wasn't even allowed that much dignity, pirouetting and cartwheeling around the Octagon like he was part of a drunken dance recital.....

    ...Simply put, Brock is a bully. When backed into a corner his instinct isn't to take the hard path. It's to find prey he thinks he can conquer - and attack. Bryan Alvarez, editor of the Wrestling Observer's sister newsletter Figure Four Weekly, says Brock isn't looking to rematch Carwin or get a return bout with Velasquez. Instead, Lesnar reportedly has set his sights on Roy Nelson.
    Nothing like trying to fight like the 6th or 7th best HW in the UFC to try and bring your career back...
