WEC live tonight on Versus
World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) is holding its second live event on the Versus network tonight. The program begins airing at 9 p.m. EST. There are a number of good matches on the card of this Zuffa-owned promotion, but without a doubt, the two title matches that are most intriguing. The main event features the WEC Welterweight title between Brock Larson and titleholder Carlos Condit. Another feature match takes place between PRIDE veteran Paulo Filho and Joe Doerksen for the vacant WEC middleweight title.
From a WEC press release, here are some quotes from Condit and Larson at the weigh-ins yesterday as well as all the fighter weights:
Condit: “(He’s) a tough dude. I plan on knocking Brock Larson’s [rear end] out.”
Larson: “I trained to go the distance. Lots of cardio, there’s a chance it’s going five five-minute rounds.”
WEC welterweight title: Carlos Condit - 170 vs. Brock Larson - 168.5
Vacant WEC middleweight title: Paulo Filho - 184.5 vs. Joe Doerksen - 185
