Recently crowed WEC lightweight champion Jamie Varner (14-2) will make his first title defense against Marcus Hicks (8-0) at the WEC's Aug. 3 event in Las Vegas.
A source close to Varner today confirmed the rumored bout with MMAjunkie.com ( To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. ).
Formal announcement of that fight, and others, is expected to come during Sunday's "WEC 34: Faber vs. Pulver" event, which airs live from California's ARCO Arena on VERSUS beginning at 9 p.m. ET.
Varner claimed the WEC belt with a third-round TKO of Rob McCullough in February. The Arizona Combat Sports fighter has lost just once -- via third-round submission to Hermes Franca at UFC 62 -- in his past 16 fights (with two no-contests).
Soon after winning the title, Varner helped push through litigation that calls for the regulation of mixed martial arts in the state of Arizona. Varner wrote about that experience in a guest column for MMAjunkie.com.
Hicks, meanwhile, has posted eight consecutive victories -- six via submission -- to begin his professional career. He's 3-0 in the WEC with three consecutive victories via guillotine choke over Sergio Gomez, Scott McAfree and, most recently, Ed Ratcliff in March. "The Wrecking Ball" is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt but also has professional boxing experience.
I though Varner was very impressive against Razor Rob, it will be interesting to see whether that was just one fight or if he is for real.
P.S. I love those WEC belts, look how awesome they look.
