WEC holds promising card tonight

A few days after Zuffa's crown jewel UFC held an entertaining TUF 6 finale card, the company's younger sibling promotion, WEC, holds what looks to be a very promising card of its own tonight. The main card features three title fights and the WEC debut of former UFC lightweight champ Jens Pulver. MMA fans will also be happy to know that the event is being televised live on the basic cable network Versus beginning at 9 p.m. EST.

MMA Madness has the card covered from every angle. Associate Editor Brad McCray has a preview of the event here. McCray also conducted an interview with featherweight champ Urijah Faber (read here) as well as his challenger, Jeff Curran (read here.) In addition, McCray interviewed Chael Sonnen (click here for the story), who will be challenging champ Paulo Filho for the WEC middleweight title.

MMA Madness Senior Writer Jeff Hamlin has a piece on Pulver's WEC debut and BJ Penn's role in his fresh start, which you can read here

For the full card, go to WEC's Web site.
