The main fight of the event denied WEC Urijah Faber posterboy and the seemingly unstoppable WEC featherweight champion Jose Aldo. Aldo has secured the gold in last November, when he defeated former champion Mike Brown surprisingly in the second round via TKO. Those Mike Brown, who declined Uriah Faber At the track, when no one believed that the golden boy from California was beat. Since then, it was mixed for Faber. After a victory against the aging Jens Pulver he lost his rematch against Mike Brown also broke his hand during the struggle. After another victory, against Raphael Assuncao, this is now the second chance for Faber to take back his belt. Not an easy task against a man like Aldo. The Brazilian is undefeated in nine fights. Six of those victories he recorded since his arrival in the WEC, none of which went to make ends meet. Aldo was hungry – he is there with a belt as well?
In the second main fight of the evening, a belt is at stake: the lightweight title of the WEC is in the continuation of the classic vs Henderson. Cerrone fought. Henderson is an outstanding wrestler and Grappler, a powerful Standkämpfer Cerrone – the classic MMA match also. The first meeting of the two, in October 2009, Henderson was on points to decide for themselves. Both Fighter will give nothing in this rematch. Even so, because the lightweight class in the WEC will soon be swallowed by the UFC. Logical that you want to send two of the top fighters of the division a clear message to their future competitors.
Another treat is the struggle between the above-mentioned former Featherweight Champion Mike Brown and the “The Ultimate Fighter” series known Manvel “Manny Gamburyan. Gamburyan was in the final of the fifth season of the reality show and won each of his two previously WEC Fights. His opponent, Mike Brown, a talented wrestler and dangerous boxer like his title in November against Jose Aldo indeed have lost, but is nevertheless one of the best feather weight of the world and has the gold not lost sight of.
These three Kracher ought to be sufficient to make the PPV debut of the WEC to a successful, even if the lighter weight classes in the U.S. mainstream has not yet arrived so right. The other fights of the evening can be found in the following survey:
