WEC 38 fight card complete for 'Varner vs Cerrone' Jan.25

World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) recently announced the full lineup of action for its initial show of 2009. WEC 38 is set to take place from the San Diego Sports Arena in San Diego, Calif., on Sunday, January 25, airing live at 9:30 p.m. ET on the Versus network.

The event is appropriately titled "Varner vs. Cerrone" as Jamie "C-4" Varner puts his 155-pound gold on the line against undefeated Muay Thai specialist Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone. This will mark Varner's second title defense in the WEC since capturing the title from "Razor" Rob McCullough back in February.

Also featured in San Diego will be a rematch from one of the most watched fights in the history of the organization between former featherweight champ Urijah "The California Kid" Faber and ex-UFC lightweight title holder Jens "Little Evil" Pulver. Faber won a five round unanimous decision over Pulver at WEC 34 in June. Both are coming off losses to Leonard Garcia and Mike Brown, respectively.

Here's the full lineup for WEC 38: "Varner vs. Cerrone:"

Main event:

WEC Lightweight Champion Jamie "C-4" Varner (15-2) vs. Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone (9-0)

Main card (Televised):

145 lbs.: Urijah "The California Kid" Faber (21-2) vs. Jens "Little Evil" Pulver (22-10-1)
170 lbs.: Danillo "Indio" Villefort (8-2) vs. Mike Campbell (4-0)
145 lbs.: Jose Aldo (12-1) vs. Fredson Paixao (8-2)

Under card (May not be broadcast):

170 lbs.: Edgar Garcia (6-0) vs. Hiromitsu Miura (9-5)
155 lbs.: Anthony Njokuani (9-1) vs. Ed "9mm" Ratcliff (6-1)
135 lbs.: Dominick Cruz (11-1) vs. Ian McCall (7-1)
170 lbs.: Blas Avena (4-1) vs. Jesse Lennox (9-1)
135 lbs.: Frank Gomez (5-0) vs. Scott Jorgensen (5-2)

Why are 9mm and Miura on the undercard?

I dont see Varner losing to Cerrone. McCullough put Cerrone down a couple times and Varner hits a lot harder and more accurately than McCullough. Varner TKO 2nd round.

The main event should be cool. I’d love to see Varner go down hard. The Faber fight I just don’t understand. The problem is that there aren’t other known feather weights for the him to fight. So to keep Faber hyped up, he might as well beat a former UFC champion…again.

C-4? Does every MMA fighter need a crappy nickname?

Mike Campbell, is a beast I cant wait to see that fight

any idea if any of the 170 fights are #1 contender bouts to fight condit? seems like ages since he’s fought, which i’m guessing is mainly because of lack of opposition.
