WEC 30 Results

The event was awesome. Great fights and great fighters are making World Extreme Cagefighting fun to watch, and the fact that it didn't cost me any money to watch was even better.

Here are the results from last nights fight:

Ian McCall defeated Coty Wheeler via TKO at 4:34 in the 3rd Round.

Blas Avena defeated Joe Benoit via submission due to a guillotine choke at 29 seconds in the 1st Round.

Donald Cerrone defeated Kenneth Alexander via submission due to a twisted triangle choke at 56 seconds in the 1st Round.

Bryan Baker defeated UFC veteran Jesse Forbes via TKO at 4:15 in the 1st Round.

Marcus "The Wrecking Ball" Hicks defeated Scott McAfee with a guillotine choke at 2:15 in the very first round.

UFC veteran John "The Natural" Alessio defeated Marcelo Brito via unanimous decision.

Bantamweight warrior Miguel Torres defeated previously undefeated Joe Bedard with a triangle choke at 2:30 in the 1st round.

Brian Stann continued his string of first round TKO's by beating Jeremiah Billington at 3:07 in the first. Stann still has yet to see the end of a round in his 5-0-0 career.

Chase Beebe held onto his belt, defeating Rani Yahya with a 5 round unanimous decision.

"Razor" Rob McCullough retained his belt as well, destroying Rich Crunkilton in 1:29 of the 1st round.

Overall, a great fight. I am fast becoming a fan of the WEC and some of the fighters, especially Torres (who I have been following since his days in the small Chicago scene), Bryan Baker (who outwrestled a very accomplished wrestler), Bryan Stann (who seems to destroy everything in his path) and "Razor" Rob (the 155 pound champion who stopped 8 or his last 9 opponents, and has never been stopped in his career).

The WEC may not have the payroll or the celebrity of the UFC, but the style of the fighters and their wilingness to leave it in the cage has made for some really exciting fights and I'm looking forward to seeing more in the future.
