WEC 34: Faber vs. Pulver Tonight

Thank God for the WEC. I desperately need something to get the nasty EliteXC aftertaste out of my mouth and the WEC should do just the trick. It’s sad that only a fraction of people who watched last night’s garbage will tune in to see the biggest featherweight fight in history.
