Why is the Rosholt fight being televised? We already know that division is leaving the WEC. That TV slot should be there for McCullough/Cerrone or Yahya/Maeda.
I was just about to say the same thing. I really hope that Maeda vs. Yahya airs, but with the push to have the broadcast end before TUF starts at 10:00 PM Eastern, I don’t know if it will.
Yeah those two fights plus the main card are all great. Lets hope for some prelim action on the broadcast. I’m really happy that Versus are going for more televised cards next year.
They would be better off editing off the entrances and showing six fights. Of course Maeda/Yahya needs to show, but I’d rather see Aldo than Razor.
I love Yahya, his personality is great… I wanna see Yahya!!!

Osterneck and Rosholt are two highly touted prospects, but I’m in agreement with the comments above, I’d much rather see Maeda and Yahya. Hopefully the two title fights end early, so they can squeeze it in at the end of the broadcast.
Paulo Filho came in 7 pounds over.
Mike Brown came in 1/2 pounds over.
Ranyi Yahya came in 1 pound over, but Maeda is fighting him without forcing him to cut one more pound.
It’s not like Filho is a tall Middleweight. Just unbeleviable.
