That said, I heard he had a dislocated jaw and couldn't hear out of one ear, and that's why he ran off. I don't know what to think about that.
Personally I think the best action is in the WEC now. And it's free, also!
Do you have DVR? Check out some of the angles on the replay again. Forrest got cracked hard and it can be seen from the view behind him. He didn't have his jaw clenched and it doesn't take much when a guy gets hit in the jaw with something unexpected while his mouth is open.
The WEC event was very good. What a shocker for the main event! Bowles looked very composed. I was yelling at the TV for the ref to stop it after Torres took the knockout blow on the ground. It was obvious how much trouble he was in, and the knockout was expected at that point, so I think the ref should have stopped it two punches earlier. I was also surprised that Cruz did so well against Benavidez. Curran and Massouh didn't deserve to lose such close fights, but neither did Garcia or Mizugaki. I had 28-28 on both, but they seem to have a near-ban on 10-10 rounds in North America.
I hope WEC stays free. Next up, StrikeForce on Showtime!
