The Sunday Junkie: April 25 edition

With the biggest World Extreme Cagefighting event now in the books, this week’s edition of The Sunday Junkie – our weekly reader-feedback feature – focuses heavily on that WEC 48 show.

Fans discussed champ Jose Aldo’s dominating win over Urijah Faber and why the show was worth the pay-per-view price tag – but also why the WEC and its sister promotion, the UFC, missed a golden opportunity to push the WEC brand.

However, when it came to picking this week’s winner (or more precisely, co-winners), two submissions stood above all others. Learn why “CopperHeart” thinks judges’ scores – including Aldo vs. Faber – may not always be based on merit. Additionally, read Ujas Mandavia’s idea for an officiating change that could revolutionize how inactive stand-up fighters are treated.
