Condit, Varner retain WEC Titles Cantwell stops Stann

Lightweight champ Jamie Varner only needed 2 minutes to stop the tough Marcus Hicks, and retain his WEC Lightweight belt. Hicks scored a couple of nice takedowns early, but couldn’t keep the wrestler Varner on the mat, Varner then unleashed a barrage of punches and knees that had Hicks out on his feet, Hicks would not fall, and Varner continued to pound away until he finally fell.Steve Cantwell avenged an earlier loss to Brian Stann, with a nice display of striking, outpunching the less mobile Stann before stopping him in the second round, capturing the WEC Light Heavyweight title. Hiromitsu Miura showed the heart of a warrior, pushing Carlos Condit to the limit before being stopped in the 4th round of their WEC Welterweight Title bout. Miura showed beautiful Judo throws to counter the Muay Thai clinch of Condit, and scored from Condit’s guard as well, But the Champion was too much for him showing great positioning on the ground as well as nice kicks and punches, this fight was a good one.
