HOLLYWOOD, FLA. – World Extreme Cagefighting® (WEC) and The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino today announced that WEC: FABER vs. BROWN fight at the Hard Rock Live scheduled for Wednesday, September 10 has been POSTPONED due to the threat of Hurricane Ike to South Florida.

Refunds for fans that are unable to attend the rescheduled date can be obtained at the point of purchase.

The WEC press conference scheduled for September 8 at Paradise Live has been cancelled.

“Due to the potential of a major hurricane hitting the South Florida area on Wednesday we were compelled to postpone the event,” said Vice President of Operations and Production Peter Dropick. “For the safety of our fans, the fighters and our staff we felt it was in the best interest to make this decision.”

Hurricane Ike is currently a Category 3 storm with sustained winds of 120 MPH and is moving west/southwest toward South Florida according to the National Hurricane Center’s latest advisory. The storm is on track to have impact on the Florida Keys and South Florida on Tuesday (9/9) into Wednesday (9/10).

“With Hurricane Ike approaching our area we have concern for the fans, fighters, our employees and the South Florida community in general,” said Bernie Dillon, Sr. Vice President of Entertainment for the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. “We felt like it would be prudent and in everyone’s best interest to postpone the event. We certainly don’t want to cause any travelers or employees to get stranded here should we have a major storm.”

Peleas muy atractivas y dos de ellas por titulo. Urijah Faber tendrá la sexta defensa del titulo peso pluma al enfrentar a Mike Brown quien lleva una racha de siete peleas consecutivas ganadas, en la ultima se fue a decisión con Jeff Curran en WEC 34.
Por su parte el brasileño Paulo Filho hará la segunda defensa del titulo peso medio y será de nuevo contra Chael Sonnen. En el primer encuentro entre estos dos peleadores, Sonnen quedo inconforme por la intervención del referee. Ya que el decía no haber palmeado para rendirse, pero si lo hizo verbalmente.

El día de hoy WEC anunció que han llegado a un acuerdo con Cadena Tres para transmitir sus eventos en nuestro país.

Mexico City, Mexico, July 31, 2008 – When it comes to the fight game, it is no secret that Mexico is home to some of the greatest fighters of all time. It also has the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable fans in the world. So it is with great excitement that Cadena Tres and the World Extreme Cagefighting ® (WEC™) organization are announcing their agreement to broadcast the fastest growing mixed martial arts organization in the world in Mexico.

Today’s announcement comes from Peter Dropick, the WEC’s Vice President of Operations and Production, and Erik Zuckermann, Director of Programming and New Content for Cadena Tres. This groundbreaking deal – which establishes Cadena Tres as the official home to the WEC through 2009 - will commence with the broadcast of the WEC’s August 3 event featuring WEC Welterweight Champion Carlos Condit, and will be followed by the September 10 card, which features separate bouts starring WEC pound-for-pound superstar Urijah Faber and Mexican sensation Leonard Garcia.

The WEC is home to many Mexican fighters, including pound-for-pound standout and WEC Bantamweight Champion Miguel Angel Torres, Manny Tapia, Leonard Garcia, Blas Avena, and many others.

“This partnership between Cadena Tres and the WEC is a groundbreaking event for Mexican television”, said Zuckermann. “We are the first free TV network to bring the Mexican audience this kind of contact sport in primetime. The WEC live events represent the perfect choice for Cadena Tres, which, being the newest option on Mexican free TV, continually bets on content that represents a unique and fresh option for our viewers. We are certain the WEC will represent one of the biggest hits on TV and Cadena Tres will be the channel to watch every week.”

To kick off the partnership, the WEC will be bringing some of the top talent to Mexico City, Mexico to meet with the media and Mexican fans.
