After “bittersweet” win, Javier Vazquez eyes WEC’s best fighters

Featherweight Javier Vazquez (14-4 MMA, 1-2 WEC) desperately wanted a win in the WEC.

After a heartbreaking run of back-to-back split-decision losses to open
his WEC career, the 32-year-old “Showtime” needed a victory to keep his
spot in the organization.

Vazquez did exactly that with a first-round submission win over MMA
legend Jens Pulver, but the moment proved anything but gratifying.
