The night started without good ole Joe Rogan, he was working on a movie. Replaced by Kenny Florian. Who has done a good job before on WEC. It seemed like Mike missed Joe talking about him all night. Kinda funny. I was excited for the fights but had no idea how good some of these fights really were.
