WEC To Make Possible Mexico Debut
August 28, 2008
Leonard Garcia spoke with Tagg Radio, and intimated that a WEC card may be in the offing for those south of the border. MMAJunkie reports:
So, could the WEC be headed to Mexico for a Faber vs. Garcia fight?
“They’re flying me out six days after the (Pulver) fight to Mexico City to do a press conference and to make a huge announcement,” Garcia said. “As I understand it, both Urijah and I are going. … I think both of us just need to hold up our ends of the bargain on Sept. 10.
“So yeah, you essentially hit the nail on the head.”
The WEC looks to be the major vehicle for Zuffa to expand into Mexico. Zuffa recently announced the airing of the WEC brand on the Mexican television network Cadena Tres. With most of the Mexican MMA fighters being in the lower weight classes, the WEC looks to be home to most fighters signed by Zuffa.
