Caught another WCL match tonight and I gotta say I'm liking it more and more every time I see it. PRIDE is still cooler, but WCL is a lot more actual full contact martial arts than UFC. In WCL there's no grappling (which, unless you're a jiu jitsu expert rarely comes up in martial arts), you get points taken away for backing away from an attack, and you get points deducted for things like stalling the match or clenching. That's half of what pisses me off about the UFC. The matches that are good are usually really good...but then there's way too many that consist mostly of guys holding onto each other like they're in love and one is leaving for a 6 months stint in the peace corp. That's just a waste of time, really.
