The WEC is coming to San Diego California for an extremely exciting night of fights on Sunday January 25. As always the WEC is putting on quality entertaining fights that need to happen and the fans want to see. Headlining this fight will be "The Cowboy" Donald Cerrone, who is currently 9-0-1, taking on current WEC lightweight champion Jamie Varner (15-2-2) in what should prove to be and exciting fight for fans. Cerrone was part of one of the best and most exciting fights of 2008 when he bested "Razor" Rob McCullough at WEC 36 in a three round war that had momentum shifting back and forth as the two fighters slugged it out. Another top fight of 2008 was the Urijah Faber and Jens Pulver match up which has given the WEC it's highest television ratings to date. These two featherweights will once again square off in the cage for what should prove to be another war. Both fighters are coming off tough 1st round defeats from WEC 36 where Faber lost his championship belt to Mike Brown and Pulver was knocked out by an impressive Leonard Garcia. The winner of this fight may very well get a shot at the winner of the Brown vs. Garcia fight which is scheduled for March.
Other fights on the card include Danillo Villefort Vs. Mike Campbell at welterweight, Jose Aldo Vs. Rolando Perez at featherweight, Ben Henderson Vs. Anthony Njokuani at lightweight, Edgar Garcia Vs. Hiromitsu Miura at welterweight, Dominick Cruz Vs. Ian McCall at bantamweight, Scott Jorgensen Vs. Frank Gomez at bantamweight, Blas Avena Vs. Jesse Lennox at welterweight, and Charlie Valencia Vs. Seth Dikun at bantamweight. The fights are set to air live on Versus television network on Sunday.
