WEC Middleweight Champ was scheduled to defend his title in a rematch against Chael Sonnen until he missed weight by an astounding seven pounds on his first attempt. The fight still took place, however, it was only a three-round non-title affair.

‘Razor’ Rob McCullough, Jake Rosholt, Donald Cerrone and Nissen Osterneck were also in action.
