WEC 51 is set in stone as Jose Aldo will defend his WEC featherweight title against Manny Gamburyan at the 1st bank center in Broomfield, CO. In the co-main event of the evening Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone will take on former WEC lightweight champion Jamie Varner. Miguel Angel Torres will also be making his return as the Chicago native takes on Charlie Valencia.
“From top to bottom, this card is stacked with Fight-of-the-Year-caliber match ups, in addition to having a title fight, a grudge match and a bantamweight war, this card features warriors like Garcia, Hominick and ‘The Korean Zombie.’ These guys have all been in some of the most memorable fights in WEC history. Now, they have a chance to put on epic fights in front of the great Colorado fans,” said Reed Harris, WEC CEO.
