Urijah Faber (21 - 1 - 0) vs. Jens Pulver (22 - 9 - 1):
The internets disappoint me. I had wanted to feature last year's Schambari vs. Clark fight from the WEC, but it's nowhere to be found. I'd post it somewhere myself if I weren't too lazy to do so.
Above is the WEC featherweight championship from June of this year. Faber, the featherweight champ, is undefeated in his last 13 fights. Until this fight, fighting veteran Jens Pulver was undefeated at this weight class. The WEC did a great job of marketing this fight as the greatest fight ever in recorded history, which successfully put asses in seats, so good on 'em. It's a hell of a battle, action-packed and very close, with both fighters getting their bell rung once or twice.
The WEC announcing team of Todd Harris and former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir are the best I've heard in quite a while. Mir is extremely knowledgeable and very good at explaining techniques and strategies as they occur. It's this kind of announcing that can educate the fans and really grow the sport.
