BROOMFIELD, Colo. – All fighters successfully made weight for their WEC 51 bouts at the official weigh-in event at the 1stBank Center on Wednesday.
Main-event featherweights Jose Aldo and Manny Gamburyan each tipped the scale at 145 pounds for their featherweight title fight. It will be Aldo’s second defense of the belt since taking it from Mike Brown at WEC 44 last November. At WEC 48 in April, he defeated former champ Urijah Faber by unanimous decision.
Gamburyan, a finalist on Season 5 of “The Ultimate Fighter” who dropped down to featherweight from his lightweight days in the UFC, said his experience is his edge in the title fight.
“I trained really hard and I’ve been in some big fights,” Gamburyan told Craig Hummer. “My win over Mike Brown gave me (confidence) … and I’m ready to take that belt.”
