WEC Announces Full Card for Feb 13th - Fight Forum - MMA - UFC - Boxing - K1

I'm looking forward to this - especially the WW title match. Condit has a score to settle with Prater...Condit, who goes for his seventh consecutive victory, was choked out in first round back in '04 by Prater. I've seen both these guys fight before and I'm much more impressed with Condit. I actually thought Prater lost to "The Recipe" Lapsley earlier this year in an Art of War match but the judges saw it differently (unanimous).

Micah Miller's on the card too...he's TUF guy Cole Miller's brother. They have a very similar build. WEC 28 - Micah couldn't hang with Cub Swanson and Chance Farrar couldn't hang with Urijah Faber.

Leonard Garcia is back in action. He's the dude who was smiling when fighting Roger Huerta at UFC 69...good fight and yes he was overmatched but took Huerta to a decision.

And a few more of these guys have fought in the UFC.

World Extreme Cagefighting has announced the full fight card for its Feb. 13 event, which features a total of three title fights.

“WEC: Condit vs. Prater” takes place at the Santa Ana Star Center in Albuquerque, N.M., and airs live on the Versus network beginning at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.

Local fighter and WEC welterweight champ Carlos Condit headlines the event against challenger Carlo Prater. Lightweight champion Ron McCullough and bantamweight title-holder Chase Beebe are also booked for the event and will defend their titles.

Zuffa LLC, the UFC’s parent company, purchased the WEC more than a year ago to be run as a sister organization. Since the ownership change, seven WEC shows have taken place — all at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The Albuquerque show will be the first outside Sin City since Zuffa’s involvement.

The full card for WEC 32 includes:

* Champ Carlos Condit vs. Carlo Prater (for welterweight title)
* Champ Rob McCullough vs. Jamie Varner (for lightweight title)
* Champ Chase Beebe vs. Miguel Torres (for bantamweight title)
* Mark Hominick vs. Josh Grispi
* Antonio Banuelos vs. Manny Tapia
* Scott Jorgensen vs. Jesse Moreng
* Yoshiro Maeda vs. Charlie Valencia
* Leonard Garcia vs. Hiroyuki Takaya
* Chance Farrar vs. Micah Miller
* Del Hawkins vs. Ox Wheeler

Im always excited to see Condit fight, I think this rematch will be very different to the first.

Id love to see Condit in the UFC, the WEC doesnt have a deep enough WW division for anyone to be a threat to him imo.

T-Bone · 01-16-2008, 10:14 AM

Do you guys know Hiroyuki Takaya?

Shooto, K-1

I don't think I've ever seen him fight.

Dont know too much about him mate.

The only fights Ive seen were his fights against Dida and JZ in Hero's and he lost both of those, although they were at LW rather than FW.

Looking at his record he has a win over Antonio Carvalho which is pretty impressive!

Hominick is fighting. Nice

Rumbin · 01-16-2008, 10:58 AM

Takaya is a on the cusp of being real good, just not there yet.

RAZZZZZORRRRRRRRR is going to pounce. This card is ungodly awesome for free TV

This event is coming up soon...here are some stats from the WEC site (fighters' height, weight, record):

This looks pretty good and there will probably be some action going on in The Betting Pit for this event.

giguer · 02-04-2008, 02:55 PM

On tv they are on fight network, spike or something else?

Rumbin · 02-04-2008, 03:00 PM

This card is UNREAL. Easily could be on paper the best free TV card ever.

Dang Grispi is on the card, I hope he wins. This looks like a good card.

I'm gonna go with...cable listing not updated. Who's your provider - Comcast?

fullonshred · 02-06-2008, 03:17 AM

No, Time Warner Cable. I check my listings on Zap2It and TitanTV. Maybe they just aren't updated frequently enough for something still over a week away.

T-Bone · 02-06-2008, 08:28 AM

shred - I checked mine last night and it says "New" with some general info...but then again sometimes even the repeats say "New". It'll be on!

giguer · 02-06-2008, 01:40 PM

No Versus in quebec

I agree 100%; I have thought about that while watching him fight several times. The WW division in the UFC is really stacked but I still wonder how well he could do there.....
