As expected Urijah Faber makes his bantamweight debut and meets former title challenger Takeya Mizugaki in the headliner of November’s WEC 52 event.
WEC General Manager Reed Harris today confirmed the long-rumored bout during a media conference call.
As Harris told MMAjunkie.com in August, the bout initially was slated for WEC 50, but Mizugaki said he’d rather wait for Faber’s knee recovery than take another opponent.
