Castillo To Replace Crunkilton At WEC 34

With Rich Crunkilton out of WEC 34, Danny Castillo has stepped in to take his place.

This will be Castillo's first time fighting for WEC. He currently holds a professional record of 5-0, and will look to make it 6-0 when he faces Donald Cerrone.

Cerrone is 7-0 in his professional career, and made his WEC debut in September 2005. He won his fight against Kenneth Alexander, but later tested positive for a banned diuretic and his win was overturned.

The two will meet at WEC 34 on June 1st. Also featured on the card is the main event of Urijah Faber versus Jens Pulver for the WEC featherweight belt.

Replacement Added For WEC Card

Yesterday WEC officials announced that the fight between Eric Schambari and Tim McKenzie had been cancelled due to injury.

Schambari had to pull out of the bout due to injury, and a replacement has now been found. Stepping up with only 2 weeks to go is Jeremy Lang. Lang is a newcomer to the WEC and has a perfect 12-0 record.

This middleweight fight will be featured on the undercard of WEC 34: Faber versus Pulver, which takes place on June 1st.

New FIght Added To WEC June 1st Card

A new fight has been announced today for WEC's Faber Vs Pulver event on the 1st June.

Former Bantamweight Champion Chase Beebe will take on Will Ribeiro, who is making his WEC debut at the event. This will be Beebe's first fight since he lost his title in February this year. Before this loss, he was riding a 7 fight winning streak, and is now looking to build himself a similar streak with a win over Ribeiro.

Ribeiro is a former Shooto fighter, and joins the organisation with a record of 8-1, coming off a 3 fight winning streak. His opponents so far have not been anywhere near the caliber of an opponent like Beebe, so this will be a tough fight for him, but a victory could really put him on the map.
