This weekend is packed with good fights on Versus with WEC 46 and we also get to start the week out right with UFC Fight Night: Maynard vs Diaz. WEC 46 features a Lightweight Title Unification bout between Champion Jamie Varner and Interim Champion Benson Henderson. Henderson won his Interim strap via a hard fought decision against Donald Cerrone while Varner was out with an Injury. Unless Varner is able to KO Henderson on the feet I don't see him being able to deal with the heart of Henderson. The card is stacked with exciting match-ups with two current Champions and two former Champions set to compete. Mike Brown looks to rebound from his loss to Jose Aldo facing newcomer to the WEC Anthony "Cheesesteak" Morrison. If it were the battle of monikers "Cheesesteak" woud win hands down. Also fighting for number one contendership is Urijah Faber against Raphael Assuncao. The full card and showtime is below:

This card is interesting in that if Maynard is able to best the submission ace Nate Diaz he is more than likely in the conversation for the next shot at BJ Penn. I see another fight where Maynard is going to use his wrestling to bully Diaz around the ring en route to a decision win, but I would like to see Diaz pull another come from behind submission win. Hencho En Mexico Efrain Escudero returns against the tough young gun Evan Dunham. Dunham is good, but Esudero is better and it looks to me that he will take this one after a good battle with Dunham.
