Tonight was another great night of fights from the WEC in Broomfield, Colorado tonight. From top to bottom the fights were action packed and darn right enjoyable to watch. The night was highlighted with a featherweight title fight between Jose Aldo and Manny Gamburyan that put a nice exclamation on the night.
The Korean Zombie Chan Sung Jung came into tonight’s fight with George Roop on a high. His was coming off his lose to Leonard Garcia at WEC 48, which many believe is the fight of the year and a quickly growing fan base. Everywhere you look at MMA events, you’ll see a Korean Zombie shirt somewhere in the crowd. Even his opponent, George Roop was wearing a Korean Zombie shirt as the two came in during the weigh-in yesterday. Roop is actually a fan of Jung, but tonight the two squared off in the main card of WEC 51.

Episode three starts off with a recap of last week’s fight between Alex “Bruce Leroy” Caceres and Jeff Lentz. Caceres defeated Lentz with a second round submission, forcing Lentz tap after he told his housemates he’d never tap. When the fighters got back to the house the drinking started and Caceres began running his mouth to whoever would listen. The rest of the house was shocked at Lentz, who let Caceres talk directly at him at their fight and why he lost.
Jon Jones put this out on his twitter today with the caption: “Bones vs The Spider”. Looks like it has already happened in the streets! Make this happen, now.
