The WEC will make its first trip to Phoenix in December, the promotion announced during the Versus broadcast of WEC 50 on Wednesday night.
In what was a first for the company, the WEC partnered with AMP Energy for a promotion – the “Hometown Takedown Contest” – that allowed fans to vote for the location from a list of 30 cities across the country.
Phoenix will host what is expected to be WEC 54 on Dec. 16 at the Jobing.com Arena in suburban Glendale, home to the NHL’s Phoenix Coyotes. Milwaukee and Nashville were the runners-up
