I'm torn about who to cheer for in the main event, I really like both fighters.

OMG Pettis with the cage running ninja kick. So sick. Amazing fight, that's worthy of being the last fight in WEC history. Close fight, can't wait to see who's going to take the decision.

Pettis with the unanimous decision; so happy for him.

I know immediacy may be tainting my judgment; but I think this overtakes Santiago/Misaki for fight of the year.

Apparently we may have a new craziest/most disturbing slam KO ever. Eddie Wineland slam KO'd Ken Stone. Stone's head simultaneously hit the mat and the side of the cage, and lay motionless on the mat for ten minutes until he was stretchered out of the arena. On the positive side he has been released from the hospital.

i thought round 3 was crazy but then the pettis/henderson fight just kept on getting better and better and then it ended with that kick off the cage. wow.
