WEC 48 Predictions
The WEC returns to Sacramento but this time the card will not be free on Versus. For the first time in WEC history they will be on the Pay Per View and they are showing up with the big guns. The two main cards are title fights at 155lbs and 145lbs. The Co-main event is a Lightweight rematch between the Champ Benson Henderson and Donald Cerrone, their last fight was a 5 round epic battle in which Henderson won by unanimous decision to win the interim title. Henderson would then go onto unify the Lightweight title by defeating Jamie Varner four months later by 3rd round submission. The main event since they are in Sacramento has to include Urijah Faber as he will attempt to regain is Featherweight title from dynamic knockout artist Jose Aldo. This will be Aldo’s first title defense of the Featherweight title he won by defeating Mike Brown by second round TKO. Brown was the man who took the belt away from Faber at WEC 36 with a first round TKO.
This card is pretty good but how will it play on PPV over free TV is going to be interesting. Dana White and the WEC have very high hopes for this card doing well on PPV and future card showing up there will depend on how things play out Saturday.

145 lbs.: Jose Aldo over Urijah Faber
