This isn't a petition as much as a letter writing campaign. These will be received directly by Versus.

That is true and I am going to do whatever it takes to try and get this to 3 hours, but the reason I said that was you got douches like Skanker whos MMA world consist of UFC and PRIDE. Douches like him don't care about lighter fighters besides Faber and they don't know who guys like Pequeno, Aldo, Maeda and Brown are vs the UFN 13 where everyone, even the douches, knew who majority of the fighters were which gave them some interest in the event.

Like Brackis said this is more of a petition to get sherdogers to start sending emails and based off of what happen to UFN 13 I'm guessing television networks give a shit about what the fans want.

There are only 86 replies to this thread with multiple replies coming from the same people and people with no intention to send an actual email, I remember the thread about extending UFN 13 had hundreds of replies in just a matter of hours.

You would think there would be more MMA fans on this site who want to not only see just any old extra hour of MMA, but an extra hour of MMA with guys like Pequeno and Munoz(sp?) fighting and all for FREE.

Give it time Mr Negative.

WEC just doesn't garner as much attention as the UFC but I think folks will get it done.

Guys I really think it would be an idea to email Zuffa too, because I'm sure they have some sort of say in this.

the email for the WEC website is: press@wec.tv

Thats what i was thinking, we cant get 3 hours because of bullriding, or Elk hunting?
