    It's a little ridiculous to write off the two most dominant champs in WEC history that quickly. Faber already has a win against Cruz, and Torres looked unbeatable for so long. I could easily see either one of those guys dethroning Cruz... if he gets past Benavidez. Varner is one of the top 4 guys in the WEC at 155, but he has to get past Cerrone before he gets a title shot. It wasn't exactly easy last time, and he couldn't beat Shalarous or Henderson.

    I said Jamie Varner too, I don't see Torres getting back into title contention until he's had a few more fights, Faber is moving down to bantamweight and may have a better chance at winning that title than Torres, no way in hell Mike Brown is getting a shot anytime soon, and Brian Bowles is kind of the forgotten champion out of the bunch.

    I completely agree Urijah will dominate that division. Nobody in that division could do as good as Urijah against Aldo.

    I think actually think Aldo's biggest competition just went down a weight class. I actually wish Urijah stayed in that weight class even though he was small. He is the only one I see standing a chance. If he worked on avoiding the leg kicks which he never thought would be so damaging so early he may have a chance since in the first round things looked fine for him. He even won a few exchanges in the first and part way in the second. I think he gave up because of size issues with Aldo and the reach advantage.

    For some reason I think Mike Brown. I just like the guy. I know I know Aldo's a beast but..... can't explain it. Hopefully he won't go down mentally like Rich did when he fought Anderson.

    I think faber is gonna do well at 135 and take the title. Its amazing how after a few loses he gets written off. His entire career has been dominate up until now. Funny how that works.

    I think people are not liking him anymore but I actually see him claening up 135. If he can hold on with Aldo these guys will be chopped down one after the other.
