Urijah Faber drops to Bantamweight (135) for WEC 50 will meet Takeya Mizugaki. Can't wait till he and Cruz meet up for the title, meaning they both win of course:

I have always wanted that to happen as well ^ but they say Faber is actually natural at 135 and was always up to 145 since there wasn't a mainstream 135 class.

I'll never buy one as long as it's online. I just hook my PC up to my 46" HDTV and blow it up to full screen, and PRONTO!

That, and I will always make sure Dana White never sees a dime of my money.

No prob and I don't know. I remember suggesting that site to someone before and they told me they wouldn't use the site and for some reason I thought it was you.
