Should be one of the best events for the WEC with two title matches. At 145lbs we will see 21-1 Urijah Faber vs Mike Brown 19-4. Two very good Wrestlers, this should be Fabers toughest fight. The other title fight is Paulo Filho 16-0 vs Chael Sonnen 22-9-1. The last fight Sonnen was dominating until Filho got him in the armbar. I expect Sonnen to win the rematch. However the fight I want to see involves two very good white prospects at 185. Jake Rosholt age 24 6'1 4-0 vs Nissen Osterneck 27 6'2 5-0. Rosholt is an all-amercian wrestler at Oklahoma State and is probably the next great MMA fighter. Osterneck from what I have heard from friends might be the greatest fighter no one has heard of.

155
Rob McCullough 5-7 16-4 vs Donald Cerrone 6'0 8-0
this could be the fight of the night. McCullough is the Champ,but Cerrone is taller and also a very good striker. Cerrone is only 22 so with a victory he would be thesecond youngest champ in WEC history.
185
David Avellan 5'9 2-0 vs Aaron Simpson 6'0 3-0
two good young prospects the WEC is tring to develope
205
Carmelo Marrero 6'0 205 9-1 vs Steve Steinbeiss 6'2
Marrero has been around the UFC. Steinbeiss didn't make it onto TUF 8, but from what I hear he and his brother both have a future in MMA.
