There’s one channel I skip right through without fail when I’m watching TV and that’s the Discovery Health network. They’re always showing one surgical procedure or another. I’m not terribly squeamish, but it’s just too much for me to watch a doctor tinker with someone’s brain fully exposed in crystal-clear HD. I was never meant to be a doctor, that’s for sure. Anyways, if you’re like me, you’ll probably want to skip this video of the special procedure Miguel Torres went through to properly fix that nasty gash Joseph Benavidez opened up on his forehead at WEC 47. It’s not the worst thing you’ll ever see, but you do get a better look at Miguel’s skull than you probably ever wanted.

There will be several bonus characters available for UFC Undisputed 2010, but there’s a catch. You’ll have to pre-order the PS3 version of the game from GameStop in order to get them all.

Urijah Faber answers a bunch of fans’ question from the UFC 109 Fight Club Q&A. Interestingly, Faber likes Kimbo Slice, but Brock Lesnar…not so much.

WEC 47’s Fight of the Night — Leonard Garcia vs. George Roop — didn’t make the broadcast Saturday night. Lucky for us though, Versus has been kind enough to post it online for all to see. Check it out if you have 20 minutes to spare.

Remember when I said all the farewell pieces to Jens Pulver might be a little premature? This is why.

“No, I’m not done,” Pulver said. “I’m disappointed. I just think it’s not fair to do this to all of you, to go out there and just not get the Ws.

“But I guess in the end of it all, that’s not what it’s all about for me,” Pulver continued. “I never did this for money. God knows I didn’t do it for money. I’ve always done it because this is my life and this is my lifestyle, and I’m just on a no-hit streak. I just can’t hit. So we’re going to keep working.”

“I’m not going to say I’m retired, but I want to build Driven, I want to build the gym, I want to keep training,” Pulver said. “I feel very confident in Tony [Fryklund] and the practices that we were having. Three months working out like this and I think the changes were there.”

Not that I don’t agree with all the great things that have been said about Jens Pulver in the last two days or that he doesn’t deserve them when he does retire, but can we give him a moment to breathe and figure out what he wants to do before say goodbye to someone who might not be leaving?

The OAC has released the fighter payouts for WEC 47 “Bowles vs. Cruz.” Keep in mind, these figures represent the base contracted pay the fighter receives from the promotion. These figures do not include any additional undisclosed bonuses or sponsorship money, which in many cases exceeds a fighter’s base pay. These numbers also do not account for taxes, insurance, and license fees.

Last Saturday night we witnessed Dominick Cruz become the new WEC bantamweight champion. What we didn’t see was the personal sacrifices Cruz made to get there.

A quick look at the fallout from WEC 47…

WEC 47 is currently underway at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.
