WEC 53 Holds PEP Rally at Margaritaville
Posted by Matthew Wheeler (Staff Writer)Dec 14
To kick off the WEC 53 fight week in Arizona, Benson Henderson and the MMA Lab partnered with Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville in an attempt to get Arizona hyped up for the major fight card that takes place this Thursday. A crowd of kids who trained under Benson, many MMA reporters, and phoenix locals just getting off work showed up to show support and win free swag.
Dave Sholler started with some classic and quick standup to get the crowd alive, then Reed explained to everyone the importance of the WEC and the upcoming Merger with the UFC. Then Henderson took the stage to thank Arizona for all the support they have put in him and he re-assured everyone that mid next year he will be fighting for UFC Brass and is more than ready for the challenge.
Benson stuck around while Reed Harris handed out free tickets, Benson doing interviews for Versus and the local news stations. Tomorrow MMA Valor will attend the much-anticipated weigh-ins and Q & A session afterwards. The California kid and The Natural Born Killer (Faber, and Condit) will be sticking around to answer questions and pump everyone up some more. The last WEC is days away and the fans are in for a great final show. Be sure to tune into MMA Valor for full event coverage and pictures.
