One of the best 170-pound fighters on the planet, Carlos Condit (22-4) will defend his title after dominating his last three opponents in the WEC cage. Following his dominating first round submission win over Carlos Prater in February, Condit is eager to get back to work before the best fans in mixed martial arts. The Albuquerque native’s take no prisoners style has propelled him to the top of the rankings in the MMA world, and he looks to continue on his march to greatness this summer. In order to do that he will have to get past Tokyo, Japan’s Hiromitsu Miura (9-4). Miura’s last outing in the WEC Cage was a rousing KO victory over Blas Avena in March, and he will be bringing his power and world-class skills with him to Las Vegas as he looks to take Condit’s crown.

A Captain of the United States Marine Corps who was awarded the Silver Star for his bravery in battle during the Iraq War, Brian “All-American” Stann (6-0) has made a significant impact in and out of the WEC cage. Inside of it, the 27-year old Pennsylvanian captured the WEC Light Heavyweight Title in March with an impressive first round TKO victory over Doug “The Rhino” Marshall. Stann will look to hold onto his newly crowned title when he returns to the cage against Steve Cantwell. Las Vegas’ Cantwell (5-1) isn’t just in search of a title on August 3rd, but he is after redemption after a 2007 defeat to Stann. Winner of bouts over Justin McElfresh and Tim McKenzie that lasted just a combined three minutes, Cantwell has worked his way back to the top of the 205-pound weight class and he is coming to take the belt on August 3.
