"The clattering thud you’ll hear shortly after the conclusion of Wednesday’s World Extreme Cagefighting 36 card is likely to be the deposit of the organization’s middleweight championship belt -- to be contested by Chael Sonnen against Paulo Filho -- into the nearest garbage can.

In September, the promotion announced that it would be euthanizing both its 185-pound and 205-pound classes in an effort to focus more on the trimmer weight divisions, a charge headed by the personable (and generously chinned) Urijah Faber. "

I got Jens, Chael (hopefully), and Faber. That damn Kirk DOuglas chin of his is nasty. Don't know if i want Razor or Cowboy to win though.

Fucking Paulo misses weight by 7 fucking lbs? Dude needs to get his head on straight or he is gonna get rolled up in UFC. He is a definite world class athlete, but come on. I know his belt is worthless now, but still athletes of his caliber should get up for fights like this. Especially when the outcome was left in doubt the last time.

So, not it is a catch-weight non-title bout. Filho's corner says they will give up the belt if he loses.

yea,, i cant wait to see jens vs leonard.. hopefully it's as good as it should be.

Wow..

Jens Pulver - KO'd round 1
Uriah Faber - KO'd round 1
Some random undercard dude - KO'd round 1

Could he have been any more fucking obvious with that elbow?

Holy shit this was a good card.


Chael Sonnen is boring as hell, hes too cautious.

Man, i don't think it was that. I think he was soooo pissed about what was going on, that he couldn't think straight. Filho didn't exactly give him much to work with.

Hm, that's true- I forgot about the weight missing. I sure wanted the fight to go to the ground tho.....

Yea, i would've liked to have seen that too, but honestly i don't think Filho would have won on the ground either. Something is very wrong with that fucking guy. He was staring off into the crown for half the damn fight. 7lbs over when you know about the fight for months? What the FUCK? Something going on with ole Paulo.

Hope he gets it corrected, but very off right now.
