At Thursday night’s WEC 53, lightweight champion Ben Henderson and challenger Anthony Pettis will have the enviable task of closing out the lights on the WEC, a promotion that never seemed to fail to deliver high-octane fights filled with skill, heart, and most importantly to many fans, finishes.
Fittingly, a tangle between the duo promises at best, a fight with a conclusive finish, and at worst, an exciting scrap between two men fighting for a chance to be the final WEC lightweight champion as well as the next UFC championship contender.
For a WEC fight, the stakes have never been higher.
