The WEC has come and gone, and those of us that attended were lucky to see what might be considered fight of the year. Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and Ben Henderson put on a display of amazing skills in stand up, grappling, and submissions. Ben Henderson winning by unanimous decision puts a hold on the match up everyone has been waiting for, Cerrone v. Varner II. The San Antonio crowd saw matches end in submissions, TKO’s, and decisions. Damacio Page, who had a family member pass early in the week, secured a ferociously quick submission victory over WEC newcomer Will Capuzano. In another match that was full of counters and striking Dave Jansen and Rich Crunkilton went the distance in a split decision for Jansen in his debut match. Mackens Semerzier was able to submit submission specialist Wagney Fabiano in his debut. “All I can remember is my jiu-jitsu coach saying ‘Don’t be afraid to go for the triangle if it’s there’… I got this fight on two weeks notice and now I’m so happy to be here,”Semerzier said. Anthony Njokuani controlled his opponent, Muhsen Corbbrey, and won a TKO that might have been a KO. WEC had people watching in and out of the cage, with UFC fighters Chuck Liddell, Nate Marquardt, and Paul Buentello. WEC also had their fighters in the stands, as well as Punk Ass and Sky Skrape of TapouT. The first major promotion to come to San Antonio, the WEC looks to try and come back to the city, hopefully within in the next year or so.
