Jiu Jitsu and WEC 47

What's not to love about World Extreme Cagefighting?

Last night's event was another great show from the little guys (155 and under). For all the worrying about what will happen with the WEC vis-a-vis the UFC, it seems more and more clear to me that the smaller weight divisions have more than enough fighters to go around. I'm thinking that the WEC will be just fine.

More to the point, props to a number of fighters for their submission finishes Saturday night. Great finishing guillotines from Jorgensen and Benavidez. And elbow-popping armbars from Palaszewski and Javi Vasquez.
