WEC 47 Live Results

We're super excited about tonight.  We're watching the fights with Bauzen from Middle Easy.  Yippee!  We have a buddy.  We're hanging out in his pimped out pad, I have a Diet Rock Star in my right hand and I'm ready to do this.  We'd love if you'd discuss the fights with us through the comments.  Let's keep this interactive people.

Palaszewski vs. Darabedyan

Alright, both these guys names suck, so from here on out, they will be referred to as P and D.  If I type out their names every time, I'll miss most of the fight.  The first thing I notice is that P is very pale.  He really needs to get out in the sun a little more.  Vitamin D really does wonders to a person's mood.  Oh, but watch the tattoos.  We wouldn't want those to fade.  D is dominating P pretty nicely.  It's the pale skin.  It beckons like a beacon to D.  See, another reason to get a tan.  I'm just here to help.  Bauzen thinks P is going to catch D in a submission and I agree.  I said before that he appears to be dominating P, but there's a bit of a spastic quality to it all.  Nice call, Bauzen!  P makes D tapout with an armbar.  Woot!

Taurosevicius vs. Davis

And we have another name that I will not type out every time.  Taurosevicius from here on out will be T.  Lazy?  Yes.  Do I care?  Not one bit.  How about a big shout out to Stephan Bonnar.  He's not nearly as annoying as I thought he would be.  Which is not to say that he's not annoying, just not as annoying as I thought he would be.  And we have our first instance of questionable reffing.  The ref stops them as they are working in the clinch.  Hmmmm, I hope this doesn't set a precedent for the rest of the night.  Well, the ref didn't stop the fight after an obvious nut shot to Davis, so it keeps getting better.  So yeah, there's a fight going on.  I have Davis on this one, but there's still a minute to go in the last right.  T was going for a submission, but the ref stopped the fight again.  What the hell?  Bauzen is having a coronary.  It's kind of exciting.  :)  Winner by decision, LC Davis.  Man, is he lucky the ref doesn't know shit about the rubber guard.

Jens Pulver vs. Javier Vazquez

They're showing Faber.  My goodness!  His butt chin is getting worse!!  How is that even possible?!  Jens Pulver's walkout shirt is friggin' amazing.  But poor Jens looks like he's going to cry.  There definitely seems to be a lot of emotion in the poor guy.  Talk about a fan favorite, huh?  I can't imagine him winning here, but I hope it's not a complete routing.  I'd like to see him get a win here to go out on top.  Pulver goes for a guillotine quickly but Vazquez gets out.  Javiers got great jiu jitsu.  Vazquez has the crucifix on Pulver.  Pulver has a huge egg on his temple, and Vazquez gets the armbar.  Sad.

Miguel Angel Torres vs. Joseph Benavidez

My Mom is calling a first round win for her boyfriend, Miguel Torres.  Miguel Torres looks like he's ready to deliver a major beat down.  Scary!  Benavidez looks tiny compared to Torres.  Good first round so far.  Trading some punches and now we're on the ground.  Looked for a second like Miguel might be going for the submission but Benavidez wasn't having it.  Benavidez is small, and he definitely has a ton of power.  First round to Benavidez.  Round two and I'm completely put off by Benavidez.  I'm having an Oompa Loompa nightmare.  And my Mom was wrong about a round 1 Torres win, and I can feel her pain from here.  Stay strong, Mom.  Benavidez gets the takedown again, Miguel is cut badly, and things aren't looking good for him.   Benavidez wins by guillotine.  Mom is on suicide watch.

Brian Bowles vs. Dominick Cruz

This is a night of upsetting fights for the Gals.  Brain Bowles kind of looks like Mark Wahlberg's younger and not quite as hot brother.  Have no idea who's going to win this fight.  Lot's of striking and I really wish Bowles would keep his damn hands up.  Cruz is looking king of spazzy.  Bobbin' and weavin', old school style.  Great shots back and forth and this is a great fight.  First round to Cruz?  2nd round and Cruz is continuing his reign as the fancy footwork king.  Cruz is looking really good and Bowles looks like he doesn't know what to do with him.  But that is quickly changing.  Bowles looks like he may be starting to figure out Cruz.  But then Cruz takes Bowles down.  What the hell is happening here?!  2nd round to Cruz.  What the hell???  We had a commercial break, and when we get back to fight is over.  Bowles had to bow out.  What is it?  A jacked up leg. messed up nose or a broken hand?  I'm confused and cold.  I'm so, so cold.  Someone hold me.  In the post fight interview Bowles mentions a broken hand.  That's a bummer.  It was a great fight and I hate that it ended that way.

Anywho, what a great night of fights.  WEC never disappoints.  I would love to see a Cruz/Bowles rematch.  Good times!
