WEC is a mixed martial arts sports organization, formed in June 30, 2001. With a series of amazing MMA events and a record of 23 straight sell out crowds, WEC has proven itself to be the premier fighting event in MMA. WEC currently stands as a leader in the evolving and exciting sport of mixed martial arts.
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is an unarmed combat sport in which competitors use interdisciplinary forms of fighting that include jiu-jitsu, judo, karate, boxing, kickboxing, wrestling and others to their strategic and tactical advantage in a supervised match. Scoring for mixed martial arts events in Nevada, New Jersey, California, and Florida is based on athletic-commission approved definitions and rules for striking and grappling. None of the disciplines involved can be said to rule the sport, as the most successful fighters are those who master several techniques and fighting styles.
WEC has some of the best MMA competitors in the world. With a strong focus on lighter weights such as featherweight, bantamweight, and lightweight, WEC attracts the best talent from all over the globe. World Extreme Cagefighting brings together the most disciplined martial arts experts from around the world to compete within the steel cage. All WEC fighters have previous combat sports experience and many are world and Olympic champions. Almost all WEC fighters have studied martial arts as a lifelong vocation and many are college educated.

ALDO vs FABER
It was a breakout performance for the incredibly talented Aldo (17-1), who won the title in November by stopping Mike Thomas Brown and was competing for the first time on pay-per-view, in a main event no less. Basically everywhere the fight went, the champion shined. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt cracked Faber with a high kick and knocked his legs out from under him in round four, then trapped Faber in a beatdown position and rained down dozens of mini-punches and elbows. Fans briefly got excited when Faber escaped from Aldo’s back control and hunted in vain for a guillotine choke. To Faber’s credit, he came out very aggressive in the first round and took the fight to the champion – though despite his activity, few of Faber’s strikes landed. Faber (23-4) also showed uncommon valor when most fighters would have found a way out. There was no quit in Faber as he absorbed the carnage, which continued in round five when Aldo made him double over with a hard shot to the midsection.
In the end, judges awarded Aldo a unanimous decision by scores of 50-45, 49-45 and 49-45.
