With a little more than two weeks until the WEC makes its Canadian debut
with the Versus-broadcast WEC 49 event, the fight promotion is going to
have to secure a fighter on short notice.
MMAjunkie.com has learned from sources close to the
promotion that bantamweight Clint Godfrey has been
forced out of the event due to an undisclosed injury, and WEC newcomer
Renan Barao now waits on a new opponent.
WEC 49, which features a headliner between former lightweight champion
Jamie Varner and fast-rising prospect Kamal Shalorus, takes place June
20 at Rexall Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
