Donald Cerrone seemed to have so much fun in his grudge match against Jamie Varner on Thursday night that he made no bones about wanting to do it again.
In fact, since the fight at WEC 51 took place in Broomfield, Colo., just 90 miles north of Cerrone’s hometown of Colorado Springs, he put aside the post-fight shoving and the between-round bird-flipping against his heated and hated rival and did the gentlemanly thing – he offered to rematch with Varner on his turf next time.
WEC 53 takes place Dec. 16 at the Jobing.com Arena in Glendale, Ariz., a suburb of Phoenix – Varner’s home. And after dominating in a unanimous decision sweep of the scorecards, Cerrone took to the microphone to offer up a chance to finish the trilogy, now tied 1-1, in Varner’s backyard.

BROOMFIELD, Colo. – Eighteen months removed from his last win, and coming off back-to-back losses for the first time in his 40-fight professional career, Miguel Torres made no secret that something had to change.
For the first time in a long time, Torres put his fighting life in the hands of a coach, abandoning his pattern of self-training that worked for years – right up until the point it didn’t work with losses to Brian Bowles and Joseph Benavidez.
So it should come as a surprise to no one at WEC 51 on Thursday night that when Torres began his walk to the cage, absent was the mariachi entrance music that had become as much a trademark for him as the relentless pace he would keep in fights.
Featherweight champion Jose Aldo is ready to face anyone the WEC puts in front of him.
Aldo defeated Manvel Gamburyan by KO in the second round of their main event bout at WEC 51 last night.

After working out some of the bad blood between himself and Jamie Varner, Donald Cerrone still doesn’t like Varner even after their three round war. The “Cowboy” is willing to step into the cage for a third time against Varner though, since both men are 1-1. Another match would help both men settle their grudge.

WEC 51 took place at the 1stBank Center in Broomfield, Colorado and drew approximately 5,100 to the event.
Earning the “Fight of the Night” honor were lightweights Donald Cerrone and opponent Jamie Varner. Cerrone earned a unanimous decision in his rematch with Varner who had won the first fight. There was a lot of bad blood leading up to the fight, it showed throughout the three rounds and even after the third round bell when both men shoved the other.
The “Knockout of the Night” was awarded to George Roop who KO’d the “Korean Zombie” in the second round. Roop landed a headkick to Chan Sung Jung knocking his opponent out before he fell to the mat. It was noted that during the post-fight press conference that Jung had been taken to hospital for observation.
Former WEC bantamweight champion Miguel Torres bounced back from two straight losses by submitting opponent Charlie Valencia with a rear-naked-choke in the second to earn the “Submission of the Night” honor. Torres had changed his training camp to Montreal and the Tristar Gym for the fight. Torres noted that before his losses he had organized his training for fights and wanted to change things for Valencia.
