If the last World Extreme Cagefighting event got you hooked and you were really looking forward to another night of awesome fights, I have some bad news for you: they have just delayed next Wednesday’s show until October 10th on account of an undisclosed injury to co-headliner Benson Henderson.
A legitimate question to ask would be why the WEC would cancel an entire event over one fighter who isn’t even a star attraction in any sense of the word. I’m wondering that right along with you, but if I was a betting man I’d say the reason is because of a …read more

While the majority of the MMA world is eagerly awaiting UFC 101, there’s another fight event going on Sunday night that you may not have heard about: World Extreme Cagefighting 42.
What the hell is the WEC? It’s the UFC’s sister promotion, owned and operated by the same group of people. As for why Zuffa (the parent company of the UFC and WEC) owns two separate MMA promotions, the story is kinda amusing. Since SpikeTV has exclusive cable rights to live UFC events, so there was no way for the UFC to make a deal with the Versus channel. So …read more

In Mike Brown’s latest blog leading up to his rematch with Urijah Faber, he describes his training for Faber as training for any fighter.
Honestly, I train the same way whether it’s Urijah or some kid who is 0-7. I hate losing any fight. So I always go out there with something to prove. Losing is like getting arrested as soon as you turn 18. It’s on your permanent record forever. I work as hard as possible in camp so that I have no excuses come fight night. I only have a few, but I don’t want any more losses on …read more

In the latest edition of Mike Brown’s blog leading up to his rematch with Urijah Faber he talks about the recent Manny Paquiao fight, training, rest and X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
I had a chance to catch the Pacquiao-Hatton fight after the movie. What an amazing fight. Got me even more excited for my fight next month. Manny is just a lot of fun to watch. Now that (Floyd) Mayweather is coming back, everyone wants to see Pacquiao-Mayweather. I definitely want to see that fight. I’m telling you right now, I’ll be rooting for Pacquiao.
The lighter weight fighters is what keeps boxing …read more

UFC.com announced that The UFC, WEC and UFC President Dana White are now on Twitter. Now, I’m not sure how many F’ words Dana is going to be able to fit in a tweet of 140 characters or less, but I’m sure there will be a few every now and then. Dana has actually been on twitter for a couple of months and already has over 5000 followers but only follows 23 other twitterers.
He keeps it quite tame compared to some of his video blogs.
The WEC is also on twitter and has been for about the same amount of time …read more

Jeff “Big Frog” Curran is hands down a great WEC and MMA Fighter despite his last three fights being “L’s” on his record. Those last three fights have been against some top fighters though, as MMAJunkie states in their reports that Curran will likely face Takeya Mizugaki at WEC 42.
“The Big Frog” has dropped three straight contests to Benavidez, as well as featherweight champion Mike Brown and No. 1 contender Urijah Faber. While a three-fight losing streak would generally spell a release for most fighters, the quality of opposition Curran has faced – coupled with his performances in the bouts …read more
