  • Bendy Casimir: Breaking the Taboo - Frank Curreri, WEC - Le MMA est un sport. And Bendy Casimir, a lifelong French citizen, envisages the day when his disapproving countrymen come to believe it. As it stands today, the pro fighter remains a reluctant outcast of sorts in his own country, courtesy of his unpopular and widely misunderstood career choice.
  • Castillo and Pettis Fired Up For Battle - Frank Curreri, WEC - Danny Castillo did not weep after his last loss. But one of his trainers did. It wasn't Urijah Faber, but Master Thong, the seen-it-all Muay Thai specialist who had never been moved to tears by a fighter's performance until Castillo botched what seemed like certain victory last November against Shane Roller.
  • Lamas’ Next Test: Frenchman Bendy Casimir - Frank Curreri, WEC - The stunning blow struck on a Saturday, and Ricardo Lamas hastily scrambled in search of a flight out of town. A day later, the 27-year-old Chicagoan boarded a plane bound for Arizona. When the aircraft landed, he drove to a residence with his father and brother. The somber trio walked inside and began sifting through George Lamas' possessions.
  • Henderson, Shalorus, and Campuzano Reflect on WEC 46 - Frank Curreri, WEC - Awesomeness has defined the past year for Benson Henderson. The affable Arizonan has engineered the kind of magical run most fighters imagine but never actualize - going 4-0 against lightweight powerhouses in the WEC, winning the title, and getting engaged.
  • SI's Q&A with WEC champ Henderson - By Bryan Levick, BleacherReport.com - Newly crowned WEC lightweight champion Ben Henderson is just starting his MMA career. But he sure doesn't fight like an amateur. He combines speed, strength and intestinal fortitude with a solid wrestling background, and continues to hone boxing and jiu-jitsu skills. Bleacher Report had the chance to speak with the champ on everything, from his title to his future. Bleacher Report: How are you feeling now that you have had some time to let it all soak in?
  • Henderson Conquers Varner for Title; Faber Wins in Comeback - Frank Curreri, WEC - Benson Henderson, one-time sparring partner of Jamie Varner, is now the undisputed WEC lightweight champion: Can I get an amen? Varner had said before the fight that he considered himself in a league above Henderson, but a flying guillotine choke that caused him to tap out at 2 minutes 41 seconds of round three suggested otherwise.
  • WEC 46 Weigh-In Results - Below are the official weigh-in results for Sunday's WEC event at ARCO Arena in Sacramento, California. The card, which is headlined by the lightweight championship bout between Jamie Varner and Ben Henderson and the return of former featherweight champ Urijah Faber against Raphael Assuncao, airs live on VERSUS beginning at 9:00pm ET / 6pm PT.
  • Title Fight Tension: Champ Varner Irked By Henderson - Frank Curreri, WEC - For weeks, former sparring partners Jamie Varner and Benson Henderson struck complimentary tones when publicly discussing each other, but suddenly their title fight has developed a touch of vitriol.
  • Faber, Assuncao Go California Dreamin’ - Frank Curreri, WEC - Most people can fit all of their New Year's resolutions on one piece of paper. Urijah Faber's wish list consumes three pages. At the top of the former champ's California dreamin' for 2010 is this dandy: "Finish Raphael Assuncao in the first round. Dominate the entire fight. Be extremely entertaining and creative."
  • Charlie Valencia – The Bantamweights’ Mike Brown? - Thomas Gerbasi, WEC - Stop me if you've heard this one before. Hard working fighter comes up the hard way, pays his dues on the local circuit, taking on opponents much bigger than he is simply because there are few if any opportunities here in the States for fighters his size. Finally, he finds hope in the form of the WEC, puts a few wins together, and all of a sudden, as a 30-something prize fighter, he is on the verge of becoming a world champion.
