WEC 33 To Feature Two Title Fights

Fresh off their three-title fight night at WEC 32, the Zuffa guys are promising another stacked card in the form of two more title fights at WEC 33. Let's just say some big names are involved.

The event, WEC 33, will feature WEC middleweight champion Paulo Filho’s (16-0) rematch with Chael Sonnen (19-9-1), and WEC light heavyweight champ Doug Marshall (7-2) will take on Brian Stann (5-0). This news came yesterday from MMAJunkie.com

Filho's rematch represents the response to a controversial decision which may or may not have included a verbal submission from Chael Sonnen. Filho will look to close that door with a decisive win.

Meanwhile, the undefeated Marine, Stann, will get his first shot at gold. I can't think of anything an organization would enjoy more (from a publicity standpoint) than having an active duty Marine as their champion.
