WEC's First Pay-Per-View Turning Out to be Stellar


It seems that World Extreme Cagefighting is going all out in it's very first $44.95 pay-per-view event. As many fans have said that it will take an amazing card to pay the hefty price tag it seems that the WEC is committed to doing that for the fans. As we already have seen two title fights added to the card in Urijah Faber vs Jose Aldo for the Featherweight title and in a rematch of one of the best fights from 2009 Donald Cerrone will face Ben Henderson for the Lightweight title. When these fights were announced it was also announced that former WEC Featherweight Champion Mike Brown would be taking on former Ultimate Fighter runner up Manny Gamburyan in a featherweight tilt that may determine the next challenger for the title. Though in the past two days it seems that the WEC has gone all out by adding two great lightweight fights to the card. The first one being former champion Jamie Varner taking on former Olympic wrestler Kamal Shalorus in a match-up that could mean a title shot for Shalorus. The other match-up pits former Oklahoma St. All American wrestler Shane Roller up against mauy thai sensation Anthony Njokuani in another match-up that could see the winner dreaming of gold in the near future. Add those with a bantamweight showdown between Demacio Page and Antonio Banuelos and the WEC has put together one hell of a main card, but is it worthy of the hefty price tag?
