WEC announces first pay-per-view event

The WEC has confirmed it will hold its first-ever pay-per-view event in April this year.

The card will be headlined by a fight between featherweight champions Jose Aldo and the former champion Urijah Faber.

“We are building the most action-packed card we’ve ever done for our first Pay-Per-View,” WEC General Manager Reed Harris was quoted by Fighters Only Magazine as saying.

“The Jose Aldo-Urijah Faber fight is something fans have been talking about for a long time. When those two step inside the cage, it could be one of the best fights in the history of the sport. With the Cerrone-Henderson rematch and the Brown-Gamburyan fight also scheduled, this guarantees that fans get the most bang for their buck.”

At least five fights at the show in April will make the pay-per-view broadcast, according to Harris.
