Look -- I missed the Urijah Faber/Chance Farrar match the other night. I programmed TiVo for the wrong time. These things happen...it is what it is.
Finally got a chance to see the WEC featherweight championship today -- What a display of grappling.
Farrar dropping Faber with a slam and Faber dropping Farrar with a slam...scramble on the mat...Faber takes Farrar's back and sinks in the rear naked choke.
The lighter weight classes are starting to win me over. Their conditioning is ridiculous and many of the fighters are always looking to finish the fight.
Remember that Roger Huerta vs. Leonard Garcia match at UFC 69? That might've been match of the year.

Hey Joe,
Garcia/Huerta was certainly a war.
However, for my money I have Tyson Griffin vs. Frank Edgar from UFC 66 as the best UFC lightweight fight this year.
There was never a doubt who was winning Garcia/Huerta; but Griffin/Edgar came down to the wire. It also included one of the coolest endings to a fight I've ever seen when Griffin had Edgar in a kneebar for the last 40 seconds of the fight with Frankie refusing to tap.
I really do not like how Griffin lost the bout and finds himself on the main card of UFC 72, while Edgar won the fight and yet finds himself on the prelims of UFC 73.
Oh well.
Keep up the good work.
