World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) is set to go live with "Aldo vs. Faber," their first-ever pay-per-view (PPV) fight card for the promotion's return trip to the Arco Arena scheduled for April 24 in Sacramento, CA.
And Zuffa is bringing in some familiar faces to help get it done.
Longtime UFC broadcast partners Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg have gotten the call to fill in for Todd Harris and Stephan Bonnar on a night that will see a couple of championship titles on the line.
WEC 48 features a featherweight championship title fight between the promotion's greatest marketing asset, "The California Kid" Urijah Faber, and the seemingly invincible 145-pound champion, Jose "Junior" Aldo.
Also booked for the star-studded event is newly-crowned lightweight champion Ben "Smooth" Henderson as he answers the call of Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone. Mike Brown will also take part in the action when he collides with Manny "Pitbull" Gamburyan.
We’re still a few days away from showtime; therefore, feel free to share your thoughts and predictions on "Aldo vs. Faber" in the comments section below. And remember that MMAmania.com will be the spot for the latest news and event-related highlights before, during and after the event.

classic pic....happens almost every event
Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.
So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.
yea it does
Tho that looks like an older pic on my small screen..joe looks thinner and mike looks heavier and less tan and prettied up. I wonder if this is a response to all the people bitching to make it a little more enticing or they planned it all along…I

Goldberg looks like some wannabe euroteen he dresses so trashy and has the metrosexual hair/tan thing going…yet at the same time he’s a pretty ugly dude and still overweight.
A step up....
Todd Harris is horrible shit and a blatant shill but still better than Goldy. Stephan Bonnar has no personality but his technical breakdown isn’t as limited as Rogan to the ground work. Can’t belive that everyone at WEC got overridden though, just shows that Dana runs everything.

indeed
This is one time I want ppv numbers to fail horribly..would it be possible for them to lose money on this if it fails enough? That be a prertty safe bet we wouldn’t see them charging anytime soon

Exactly
I don’t want to see anyone bitching on here about WEC salaries when supposed hardcore fans are boycotting a WEC PPV. You can’t have it both ways, either WEC shows are no longer free or the talent will continue to get paid balls all compared to the UFC fighters.

I'm the one guy that ALWAYS laughs at you guys that care so much about salaries
and no I won’t be buying this event!
I won't be buying this either.
PPV bill is crazy. I just can’t justify to my wife paying Zuffa 150 bucks a month to see their fights. None of these fights are ‘must-see’ for me anyway. I’ll download them or wait for you-tube to provide.
GSP(ESP) is the most predictable fighter in MMA.
...
HEY, if you care about the salaries of fighters TELL Dana to give them more money. How many $250,000 cars does one guy need????

Make this free

So basically, instead of listening to Mir's favoritisms, we get to listen to Rogan's.
Hope you’re all ready to hear Joe orgasm when Aldo throws a leg kick!!!!!
I AM SOMETIMES BIASED - Get over it!!!!!!!
"Rogasm"?
See what I did here? I just switched the “O” and the “R” to change Orgasm, to Rogasm! This sh*t writes itself!

yo worby
I can’t stand “Rogasms”, that’s why I turn the sound down when I watch…They should replace Joe with a real fighter like Bonner, Kenflo, or anyone else.

i hear ya im kinda impartial
I like him at times, but his bias gets in the way lots as well. He’s alright though. Bonnar is good too. And Mir.

Re: Rogasm
Doesnèt everyone orgasm when they see a leg kick? Especially Shogun’s and Hardonk’s?

I seriously thought his head was going to explode
