WEC 49: Varner vs. Shalorus was a mixed martial arts event held by World Extreme Cagefighting that took place on June 20, 2010 at Rexall Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.[2]
Background
WEC 49 was the only event the organization had held outside of the United States. The show was initially announced as taking place at the Stampede Corral in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.[3] WEC vice-president Peter Dropick, however, confirmed with The StarPhoenix/Canwest News Service that the location was changed on April 10.[4]
Eddie Wineland was scheduled to face Charlie Valencia, but Valencia was forced off the card with an injury.[5] Will Campuzano, who was previously scheduled to face Rafael Rebello on the preliminary card, was announced as Wineland's new opponent.[6] Rebello would face WEC newcomer Chris Cariaso.[7]
Ed Ratcliff was scheduled to face Chris Horodecki, but just days before the event, Ratcliff pulled out of the event with an undiclosed injury.[8] Horodecki would face WEC newcomer Danny Downes.[9]
After WEC ring announcer Joe Martinez resigned to work for Golden Boy Promotions, UFC announcer Bruce Buffer agreed to handle fighter introductions for WEC 49.[10] Kenny Florian would provide color commentary for the event, as he did at WEC 41 alongside play-by-play announcer Todd Harris.[11]
Renan Barão vs. Anthony Leone was originally scheduled to be a bantamweight bout, but changed to a 142lb catchweight bout when Leone (a natural Featherweight) refused to drop to Bantamweight.
