The Sunday Junkie: Feb. 7 edition

Another busy week of mixed-martial-arts action is in the books, and
much of the past few days’ discussion centered on the business side of
the sport rather than what happened inside the cage.

The official announcement of the WEC’s first-ever pay-per-view event
caused a stir in the MMA community, and the lion’s share of submissions
to this week’s edition of The Sunday Junkie, MMAjunkie.com’s weekly
reader-feedback feature, centered on the WEC 48 event.

But this week’s winner, “Khanman,” took a look at Chael Sonnen as a viable contender for the UFC’s middleweight title.
