World Extreme Cagefighting

"World Extreme Cagefighting" (www.wec.tv) is dedicated to delivering top-quality mixed martial arts action, with an eye toward delivering an unmatched product that fans simply can’t get enough of.

Founded in 2001, WEC quickly built a reputation as a quality organization, featuring hard-nosed fighters and no-nonsense matchups. Managed by Scott Adams and Reed Harris, the WEC sold out 22 of 24 cards.

A recently signed deal with VERSUS positions WEC as a major player in the MMA scene, with the cable network committed to airing three live fights and a half-dozen highlight shows, beginning this summer. These broadcasts will usher more fans into the fold than ever before, with fighters and fights that deliver a memorable bang, pitting the best against the best. WEC is poised to tap into the exploding growth of the sport by delivering the kind of fights that fans remember, and want to see again. There’s no soft touches. No filler fights. And no excuses. While the talent base in the sport continues to expand, the WEC is committed to finding tomorrow’s champions while putting today’s to the test. Because of our commitment to top-level action, you’ll see a commitment to showcasing fighters in lower weight classes like lightweight (155), featherweight (145), bantamweight (135) and more. And in the WEC, you can rest assured the deserving contenders will get their shot at a champ as soon as they’ve proven they’re worthy -- we will strive to uphold the highest ethics, integrity, and respect for the sport and in the process set the standard for others to follow.
