The fight card for WEC 37 was made official today by the Zuffa owned mixed martial arts organization. As expected, the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada will play host for the event which is set to go off on December 3.
Again this is another stacked lineup for the promotion. Coming off a great WEC 36 event last month, 2008 will go out with a bang for the WEC with event number 37.
135 pound Bantamweight Champion Miguel Torres will defend his title for the second time since winning the strap only ten short months ago. The challenger this time around will be undefeated Manny Tapia - who is coming off back to back wins in the organization including a recent split decision over Antonio Banuelos at WEC 32.
The co-main event is a possible number one contender eliminator match for Mike Brown’s Featherweight championship between fast rising stud Brian Bowles and Brazilian Will Ribeiro.
Once again the under card is littered with talented fighters as well. Cub Swanson, Johnny Hendricks, Blas Avena, Bart Palaszewski, Hiroyuki Takaya, and others are all now confirmed for the event.
