MMA Videos / mma / WEC 44: Jose Aldo, the New King of the Featherweights
here’s a new 145-pound king on the throne, and if his performance at WEC 44 is of any indication, his reign may last quite a while. Taking on incumbent champ Mike Brown, a man who’d defeated superstar Urijah Faber twice and wrecked Leonard Garcia in a title defense, Jose Aldo definitely should have had his work cut out for him.

MMA Videos / mma / Cagewriter facepalm of the week to Versus WEC analyst Todd Harris
Here at Cagewriter, we pick on the UFC broadcast team of Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg quite a bit. It's out of love, though. We don't want to see Rogan or Goldberg lose their jobs, because they both bring something special to the broadcasts. Rogan's passion is palpable, and Goldberg's smooth shilling is necessary for the UFC to pay the bills. This is not true in the case of Versus... Read Full Story
