It seems like every time the UFC has a mediocre pay-per-view that sets fans to complaining, that’s the WEC’s cue to bring its entertaining brand of little guy fighting back to Versus, if only to show us that you can still get something for nothing (as long as you have a decent cable TV package).
It happened again on Thursday night. Fresh off of a disappointing UFC 119 main event, WEC 51 delivered from top to bottom, and did it all without the hefty price tag of a pay-per-view. With the money we all saved, we can now finally afford to buy some UFL merchandise. Do they sell merchandise? It doesn’t matter.
Now that the fights are in the books, let’s look at the biggest winners, losers, and everything in between from WEC 51

Between Jose Aldo’s latest title defense/demolition, the off-the-chain Cerrone vs. Varner rematch, George Roop’s KO of the Year candidate, and the other violent stoppages from Torres and Zhang, last night’s WEC event delivered the goods. (LOL @ any poor bastard who decided to watch Bellator instead!) Here’s some things you might want to know with Aldo vs. Gamburyan in the books…
— $10,000 bonuses were handed out to the following fighters: George Roop (Knockout of the Night) for being the first guy to finish the Korean Zombie, which he did with a perfectly placed LHK; Miguel Torres (Submission of the Night) for beating Charlie Valencia to the mat and finishing him with a RNC; and Donald Cerrone/Jamie Varner for their three-round co-headlining battle that was totally OMFG.

Donald Cerrone got th
e revenge he wanted against Jamie Varner at WEC 51, winning a lopsided unanimous decision in a grudge match between two guys who have been itching for a second fight since Varner won a controversial technical split decision a year and a half ago.
There was no touch of gloves at the start of the fight, which was no surprise — these two guys have made clear, over and over again, that they despise each other. When the fighting started it was Cerrone landing most of the hard strikes, hurting Varner with a knee at the outset and generally controlling the first round.

Zuffa may have robbed you of $45 last weekend, but they’re making it up to us with a stacked-to-death WEC card on free TV, on a damn weeknight. Gotta love it. Will Jose Aldo continue his Sherman’s March through the featherweight division, or will Manny Gamburyan let everyone know who he is, bro? Will Jamie Varner and Donald Cerrone settle their feud once and for all? Will Miguel Torres and Mike Brown return to old form? Can the Korean Zombie possibly top his last performance against Leonard Garcia? All these questions will be answered after the jump starting at 9 p.m., as we present our liveblog of WEC 51: Aldo vs. Gamburyan. If you love organized violence, give us a "hell yeah" in the comments section…

If it feels like Jamie Varner and Donald Cerrone have been at each other’s throats for two years, well, it’s because they have.
The two first fought in January 2009. Varner won via technical decision after Cerrone landed an illegal knee to Varner’s head in the fifth round of their title fight.
Varner was winning the bout on most people’s scorecards up until that point (I had him winning four rounds to none), but Cerrone, who was beginning to put the heat on Varner in the fifth stanza felt like the then-champion was looking for a way out.
Varner and Cerrone hugged it out that night in San Diego and promised to fight again sometime in the near future. There appeared to be a mutual respect between the fighters who had just gone toe-to-toe for almost 25 minutes, but that fight just kicked off an avalanche of trash-talk that has lasted approximately 21 months.
For a number of different reasons — injuries being a primary one — Cerrone and Varner’s paths never crossed until now. The lightweights will finally look to squash their long-standing beef Thursday night on Versus at WEC 51 in Broomfield, Colo.
