The animation is not that bad, couple of tweaks here and there but not bad. HBK on the left and HHH on the right look too bright, but thats probably just my screen.
The GBS stuff kills it though, Id make the "Are you Ready" appear word by word and not coming from across, just some of my opinions. I see youve been messing with ImageReady, nice job.
The concept is real good though, real good.

On Sunday they had '38: Varner vs. Cerrone', last night they had '41: Brown vs. Faber II'. Not sure why they decided to skip 39 and 40, but they're showing those next Saturday. 42 is tonight, 43 tomorrow, 44 the day after, etc.
I fell out of the loop around 42: Torres vs. Bowles (had already stopped really following most MMA, including UFC, around the turn of 2009, but I kept up with WEC until the second half of '09). What are some of the better WEC events post-42? Gonna make a point of watching each event up until 53 (assuming they show everything right through to the point it was absorbed by UFC) and I'm wondering what I should be looking out for.
38 was a really good card, btw. I remember watching Cerrone/Varner on a stream and being fucking CRUSHED when Cerrone caught him with that knee on the ground and they had to stop the fight. Might not have made any difference in the end anyway since he still lost the decision, but man, I was a huge Donald Cerrone fan and that left me totally deflated.
41 was another Hell of a card. Cerrone looked awesome against James Krause, Jose Aldo smashed Cub Swanson with THAT flying knee in about 10 seconds, and the Scott Jorgenson/Antonio Banuelas fight was fucking AAAAWESOME. Faber/Brown was really good, too. I don't remember who I went with going into the fight, but I do remember thinking Faber had an uphill battle as soon as the hand went. Dude couldn't even throw punches past the first round. Landed some nice elbows and generally adapted to it really well, but at that point in time against Mike Brown, you kind of needed two fucking hands.
So yeah, what do I have to look forward to?

Pretty much anything WEC is a good watch, they put on a ton of good fights post 42, and off the top of my head I'll just post some solid fights I remeber from some of the cards.
WEC 43: Henderson/Cerrone
WEC 45: Jorgenson/Mizugazki
WEC 46: Faber/Assunaco
WEC 46: Varner/Henderson
WEC 48: Banuelos/Jorgenson
WEC 48: Aldo/Faber
The whole WEC 53 cards was solid and Pettis/Henderson was beyond awesome. I'd suggest just watch them all, as there's going to be at least one or two matches minimum on the cards that your going to like. WEC put on great shows from the frame there showing so your not going to be dissapointed.
Guys like Pettis, Henderson, Jorgenson, Cruz, Aldo, Faber, and Mendez are all guys that if you haven't seen fight your missing out, as I think there some of the top guys just to name a few that broke out during this run of events.

I kind of caught the tail end of Cruz and Jorgenson really breaking out, but by the time I stopped following it event-to-event, Aldo was a guy whose stock was already pretty huge even amongst casual MMA fans.
Watched 42: Torres v Bowles last night. I remember the Benavidez v Cruz fight being awesome, but they cut the 2nd round out of the broadcast last night for whatever Blue reason. Torres being knocked out the way he was was pretty shocking at the time. That was the last Torres fight I saw (I think), so I'm interested in seeing where he winds up going from there, because everything from that point forward is more or less new to me.

Guys are you serious right now?
You forgot to say Leonard Garcia v Korean Zombie.
It was a really fun fight. If you can forget about Nam Phan schooling Garcia, he looks a beast here.
I didn't know they were on Extreme Sports tho, nice tip off broskis.
