When Zuffa, LLC, the parent company of the Ultimate Fighting Championships, purchased the WEC earlier this year, it was announced that a cable television deal had been signed with the Versus network. It appears now that the first WEC events will start appearing on the Versus network starting with a WEC Live even on June 3.
The June 3 card in Las Vegas will be headlined by a Welterweight title fight between current WEC champion Carlos Condit and UFC veteran Brock Larson. Condit won the WEC Welterweight title with a victory by submission over John Alessio back at WEC 26. Also on the June 3 card, WEC Featherweight champion Urijah Faber will once again defend his title against Chance Farrar.
Other fights include a rematch between John Alessio and Alex Serdyukov, Micah Miller vs. Cub Swanson, and UFC veteran Mark Hominick will make his WEC debut against Rani Yahira.
Here is the current WEC 28 fight card:
- WEC Welterweight Championship Bout: Carlos Condit vs. Brock Larson
- WEC Featherweight Championship Bout: Urijah Faber vs. Chance Farrar
- Welterweight Bout: Alex Serdyukov vs. John Alessio

@Richard
Hey bud, I appreciate the support, I just don’t want to get banned from the MMAHQ forum.. I think Doc and Dennis are mad at me right now, I went overboard on some comments I made to Dennis, like WAY overboard…. lol I think it would be better for us to continue the Liddell vs Wand thread on a forum, that’s what Dr J said anyways.. I called Dennis a G ay Peddie and insulted his iceman…. soooo IF YOUR OUT THERE DENNIS I AM SORRY FOR CALLING YOU THOSE AWEFUL NAMES…. but Wandi still rules and would kill Chuck in a real fight… just kidding … (even thought its the freakin truth)..
yeah i asked him if he did bad things to himself involving the iceman so im not innocent either but now u know why i call him HILLBILLY hes just so stupid sometimes and what i wouldnt give to be with hillbilly when liddel gets koed LOL
don’t sweat it babe…………..I’m omnipresent.
like I said before….not surprised Diik…..omnipresent means I’m everywhere.
Iceman knocks out wandi in the first round…………KO!
As a gentleman and a scholar, I’ll now go to the forums and explain your sexual prefrences.
………………LMFHAO…………………
