Twenty-two-year-old Chris Horodecki will make his WEC debut Saturday night against Anthony Njokuani. After gaining widespread recognition as a knock out artist with a baby face in the International Fight League, Horodecki knows he has a lot of expectations to live up to in his first fight back on a national level. When asked if his obvious game plan was to walk away with a knock out Horodecki was quick to respond.

World Extreme Cagefighting® proudly confirms the remaining bouts of a loaded fight card headed to the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV on Dec. 19. In addition to Cerrone vs. Ratcliff, Njokuani vs. Horodecki, and Benavidez vs. Yahya, WEC is pleased to announce seven other quality bouts.

Houston Alexander knows a little something about making the most of an opportunity. When the 37-year-old Omaha, Nebraska resident debuted in the Ultimate Fighting Championship(r) in 2007, he needed just one minute and 49 seconds combined to dispatch of both Keith Jardine and Alessio Sakara in devastating, knockout fashion.

It seems as though the card that has been cursed from the beginning is still showing signs of doom. In the lastest sting of events, Brazilian jiu jitsu black belt, Gabriel Gonzaga has contracted a case of staph infection. Several fighters that were supposed to be on this card have had to pull due to injury or illness. Fellow Brazilian, Antonio Nogueira, also pulled out of UFC 108 due to staph infection earlier this month.

The card has been strewn with other changes as well, most notebly Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar dropping from the card due to a mysterious illness that most are still unsure of. As of Friday, November 27, the UFC had yet to announce a replacement for Gonzaga.

Kimbo Slice, the wildly popular mixed martial arts heavyweight and member of the cast of “The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights,” will fight for the first time in the UFC live on Spike TV Saturday, December 5 at 9:00pm.
