WEC 38: FIGHT REVIEW AND JOHN’S RESULTS
WEC 38: FIGHT REVIEW AND JOHN’S RESULTS
By John Gagne
Last night was a night the MMA world will not soon forget. The main event ended in controversial fashion. The Champ Jaime Varner won a split decision. When an “illegal” blow to a downed opponent caused the fight to stop prematurely. Apparently when this happens in California. The CSAC has rules in place. These rules stop the fight, then the fight judged on the completed rounds. The judging is another problem I had with this situation. I, along with 90% of the MMA world scored Varner 10’s all four rounds, and Cerrone 9’s. A win is a win and I am sure Varner was still happy leaving with a belt, even with a broken hand.
Jens Pulver looked unimpressive in his second straight fight. It really upsets me to see a legend like that, get taken out so quickly by Urijah Faber. Not taking anything from Faber at all. I just know Jens has more fight than he displayed.
A pretty big upset also took place on this WEC card. We saw Hiromitsu Miura get TKO’s by heavy underdog Edgar Garcia. After Miura’s decent showing against WEC Welterweight Champion Carlos Condit, a lot more was expected from him.
For this card John had six correct picks out of ten fights. Now bringing his winning percentage to 68% down three percentage points. Check back for John’s latest picks, and his UFC 94 fight predictions and betting advice.
