Condit retains WEC welterweight title
WEC presented its first show of 2008 on Feb. 13 on the Versus network. Carlos Condit hung on to his welterweight title with a quick guillotine choke on Carlo Prater.
The champions in the other two title fights didn’t fare so well. Jamie Varner became the new WEC lightweight champion when he knocked out Rob McCullough in the third round.
Also, Miguel Torres won the bantamweight title over Chase Beebe with a rear naked choke in the first round.
The WEC is owned by UFC and features the fighters in the lower weight classes.
Elite XC also started up for the year on Feb. 16 on Showtime. Kimbo Slice destroyed Tank Abbott in the main event, winning by knockout in just 43 seconds.
Mirko Cro Cop is gone from UFC after a year, and he will compete for the DREAM promotion, which will debut in Japan on March 15. Officials from PRIDE, Heroes and K-1 are running the new venture.
