The Contenders: Worldwide MMA:This is the place for all non-UFC (WEC/Pride) events, including Strikeforce, Affliction, HDNet Fights ,Cage Rage, KOTC, ROTR, Shooto, and the like.
I was there- Wang pretty much stood there and took leg kicks for the last 10 minutes, with the crowd yelling at him to take the guy down. It was pretty horrible. Dai Shuang Hai also did nothing in his fight but back up.
But the inverted triangle by Madrid was sweet, and the Costa / Thorensen fight was pretty good too.
Highlight of the day was shaking Wanderlei's hand!

Simeon Thoresen's cornerman Tommy believes Glunder may have torn a muscle. I'm waiting to hear back from Glunder's manager to see what was the final diagnosis. His manager did say Rodney is in good spirits so it may not be too serious of an injury.
