    So yeah, there's an interesting main event here.

    LIVE MATCHES
    * Champion Urijah Faber vs. Jens Pulver (WEC Featherweight Title Defense)
    * Champ Miguel Torres vs. Yoshiro Maeda (WEC Bantamweight Title Defense)
    * Chuck Grigsby vs. Mark Munoz
    * Kenneth Alexander vs. Rob McCullough

    TAPED MATCHES
    * Donald Cerrone vs. Rich Crunkilton
    * Mike Brown vs. Jeff Curran
    * Chase Beebe vs. Will Ribeiro
    * Tim McKenzie vs. Eric Schambari
    * Luis Sapo vs. Alex Serdyukov
    * Jose Aldo vs. Alexandre Nogueira
    * Dominick Cruz vs. Charlie Valencia

    -- Faber's close to having no competition at 145. If Little Evil still has gas in the tank, he could give him one hell of a fight, though.

    -- Torres impressed me with his title win. Can he keep it up?

    That Torres Maeda fight was the fight of the year so far IMHO. They gotta rematch this.

    I really really do love watching Faber fight.

    I live with some people from Sacremento, and he's a god to them.

    They were two great fights.

    Pulver lost every round but it was still a great fight.

    Want to see these guys fight each other again. Torres v Maeda fight was GREAT.

    This whole card was very entertaining,
    I was cheering for Pulver but Faber showed some great skill, speed, and strength. The Torres fight all I can say is Standing ovation for two great warriors. HEY EXC THAT IS HOW YOU DO MMA RIGHT!!!!

    That was just a great battle. The striking, the ground work, the submissions tried.

    I hope anyone who may have become somewhat interested in MMA because they watched Kimbo on Sat. night ended up watching this fight because it would show what MMA is supposed to be like.

    Fantastic night of fights! Torres-Maeda was a FOTY candidate for sure! Pulver-Faber was awsome too. My god does little evil have some heart!

    I'm a huge Pulver fan, so I'm a bit disappointed...but it was a great fight. Incredibly exciting.

    Definitely the fight I was hoping for.

    Rematch, please.

    Both of the main fights were great.

    I think Faber/Pulver was a better fight only because it went longer - Torres/Maeda was really fun to watch while it was going. There definitely needs to be a rematch there.

    Next show is 8/3 with three title matches.
