GLENDALE, Ariz. — When listening to Scott Jorgensen describe his plan for dealing with WEC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz‘s unique fighting style, it’s important to remind yourself not to cringe outwardly. At least not in front of the guy. That would be rude, and possibly hazardous to your health.
To hear Jorgensen tell it, he hasn’t watched tape on Cruz, and hasn’t constructed much in the way of a game plan for their title fight at WEC 53. In fact, he hasn’t spent a lot of time thinking about the champ at all. What’s more, he doesn’t seem to think this is as horrible an idea as it might sound like to most people.
“As far as stylistic match-up and nightmares, what have I done to my last five opponents?” said Jorgensen. “Name one other fighter that fights like I do in the WEC. There’s not many. I’m big, I’m strong, I bully people. I’m not afraid to get hit and I’m always coming forward. Everybody’s so worried about Dominick’s style, but nobody’s looked at what I do. There’s one thing I guarantee: you can’t slow me down and you’re not going to bully me. That goes a long way in a fight.”
The question is, will it be enough?

GLENDALE, Ariz. – As of today, the WEC is still their home. By Friday morning, it will just be a memory.
The WEC fighters and staff, they know this. At least, they know it in a hypothetical sense, the way you know that nothing lasts forever. But when the final fight is over at WEC 53 and the little blue cage is taken apart and packed away for the last time, that’s when it’s going to get real.
Even with as much as they’ve thought about this day over the past couple months, nobody can be sure exactly how that moment will feel when it arrives.
“I think it’s going to be kind of bittersweet,” said WEC lightweight champion Ben Henderson. “It’s already bittersweet to me now. I try not to think about it too much, but it’s already pretty bittersweet to me. It’s been great. It’s been a great ride.”

GLENDALE, Ariz. — The smaller fighters stepped on the WEC scale for the last time at the Jobing.com Arena on Wednesday afternoon. It marked the latest in a week full of lasts as we inch closer to the WEC’s final event in the form of WEC 53 on Thursday night.
Hometown favorite and current WEC lightweight champ Ben Henderson got the warmest reception, and though he needed to strip all the way down (with the help of a WEC beach towel to preserve his modesty, of course) to hit the 155-pound limit, he made the weight on his first attempt and told the throng of supporters that it was his honor to fight in front of them at the WEC’s last event.
Challenger Anthony Pettis gave the champ his due, saying, “Ben’s a great fighter. He’s the champ for a reason. I’ve just got to be better than him everywhere.”
