In other important WEC featherweight news, exciting up-and-comer Jose Aldo — who has scored three straight TKO victories while in the WEC, including a first-round ownage of Rolando Perez at WEC 38 — will return to the cage after just a five-week layoff, taking on Chris Mickle at WEC 39. Mi...
Sucks to hear a legend like Pulver come face-to-face with the end of the line. But to me, Pulver's loss to Urijah Faber on Sunday didn't prove much — we already knew he couldn't hang with the California Kid. Any fighter needs to do some serious re-evaluation after taking three straight losses...
Former WEC featherweight champ Urijah Faber was able to score a victory over Jens Pulver for the second time last night at WEC 38 — and in 23 minutes and 26 seconds less than it took in their first meeting last June. Their co-headlining bout started fast and physical, with Pulver tossing Fabe...
Varner on Cerrone: "If he goes toe to toe with me, he's a dead man.") MAIN CARD Jamie Varner vs. Donald Cerrone (for lightweight championship) Urijah Faber vs. Jens Pulver (FW) Danillo Villefort vs. Mike Campbell (WW) Jose Aldo vs. Rolando Perez (FW)
Urijah Faber may have to wait a while for Mike Brown to heal up before he can get a crack at reclaiming his featherweight title, but in the meantime he can keep himself sharp with another go at former UFC lightweight champ Jens Pulver. MMA Weekly says the two will meet again at WEC 38 in San Dieg...
“The ref [Mario Yamasaki] was going, ‘Eh, is [Couture] OK?’ Mario was trying to give him time [to recover]. There’s a fine line between that and [allowing] too many punches. When I saw Randy go back down, I thought we had crossed that line.” — Dana White on the stoppage in UFC 91’s Lesnar/Coutur...
Underpaid: This isn’t the first time we’ve said this, but Urijah Faber is getting sodomized by the WEC. His win bonus — which he generally gets — tacks on an additional $24,000 to his fight purse, but you can’t win ‘em all, and he simply isn’t being paid relative to the attention he brings the o...
Submission of the Night: Rani Yahya for his first-round guillotine choke of Yoshiro Maeda, also from the undercard. TKO of the Night?: Leonard Garcia reportedly got an extra $7,500 for steamrolling Jens Pulver. Leonard Garcia vs. Jens Pulver; props to MMA Scraps.)
Round 1: Hard leg kick from Garcia. Jens moves forward with some nice punches, rattling Garcia. Head kick from Garcia off Pulver’s glove. Garcia sticking/moving nicely, now he’s landing some brutal punches. Pulver stiffens up against the cage and Garcia finishes him off with power shots. Ve...

Speaking of legends coming out of retirement, revered trainer and first-ever UFC lightweight champ Pat Miletich will be facing Thomas Denny at the second Adrenaline MMA event, which will go down December 11th at the I Wireless Center in Moline, IL. Miletich — founder of the Miletich Figh...
Just for kicks, Mike Brown also weighed in over the limit, but thankfully he only missed his mark by a half-pound. Brown weighed in at 145.5, which would have been fine for a non-title affair, but what with Urijah Faber’s WEC featherweight title on the line he had to go spit in a cup for an hour or...
