WEC 46 Results: "Smooth" Takes the Belt / Return of the "Cali Kid"


A new undisputed WEC lightweight champion was crowned last night as Ben Henderson capitalized on one of the very few mistakes made by the former champ, Jamie Varner. Henderson submitted Varner with a split second "arm-in" standing guillotine choke. Though the ARCO Arena in Sacramento witnessed a great main event, it was truly packed to capacity to witness the return of their "California Kid". Urijah Faber gave his home town a great fight as he caught Rafael Assuncao in a rear naked choke. The former featherweight champion looks to continue in his comeback to possibly face current featherweight champion, Jose Aldo for the title. The night also included great key wins by Mike Brown and Kamal Shalorus. Shalorus won by the a judges unanimous decision while Mike Brown won his bout with a rear naked choke.
