World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC), the Zuffa-owned sister promotion to the UFC, is set to host events in Mexico in 2010, Fighters Only has learned.
A source close to the organisation said that due to the increasing popularity of the brand among Spanish-speaking fans, Mexico is considered a prime territory for expansion and that they anticipate events on Mexican soil "by next year".
The WEC features many fighters of Hispanic origin, and 135lb champion Miguel Torres regularly conducts press tours in the country.
Their last event saw Mike Brown defend his title against Urijah Faber in front of over 13,000 fans in Sacramento, California.
The next scheduled event takes place in Las Vegas on August 9th and sees reigning bantamweight champion Miguel Torres takes on challenger Brian Bowles.
It's really not surprising considering they have Miguel Torres.
WEC is becoming pretty big. Alot of the fights are fast paced and exciting, so it's not surprising. I think they should feature a WEC Title bout on a UFC PPV to give it even more exposure.
