WEC 43 Live Results
Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and Benson Henderson are set to wage war this evening for the WEC lightweight interim crown in San Antonio as WEC 43 is expected to light up the Texas desert like a 4th of July in October.
The winner of the highly anticipated showdown between the two will without a doubt be moving on to a match-up with current WEC champion Jamie Varner, who has been sidelined by a series of injuries, to determine the true king of the hill at 155 pounds in the WEC once and for all.
Also on the card is the fast rising undefeated prospect Dave Jansen taking on the always dangerous Rich Crunkilton, along with a slew of other potentially action packed match-ups.
Below is a full list of the live results for WEC 43 as they take place:
Javier Vazquez vs. Deividas Taurosevicius – Winner: Taurosevicius via split decision
Coty Wheeler vs. Charlie Valencia – Winner: Valencia via unanimous decision
Manny Tapia vs. Eddie Wineland – Winner: Wineland via unanimous decision
Wagnney Fabiano vs. Mackens Semerzier – Winner: Semerzier via submision (triangle choke) - round 1
Scott Jorgensen vs. Noah Thomas – Winner: Jorgensen via TKO – round 1
Anthony Njokuani vs. Muhsin Corbbrey – Winner: Njokuani via TKO – round 2
Damacio Page vs. Will Campuzano – Winner: Page via submission (rear-naked choke) – round 1
Raphael Assuncao vs. Yves Jabouin – Winner: Assuncao via split decision

DT dominated the stand-up but got caught in a deeeep guillotine. I’m shocked he survived. Round finishes with DT punishing Vazquez with GnP.

Wineland rocks Tapia at one point but can’t finish. He’s just got too much reach and better technique, he could counter Tapia all day.

Ben amazed me tonight, plain and simple..
Say what you will, but, IMHO, BJ PENN wouldn’t have gotten a tap out of Ben tonight..
With that said, Cowboy was robbed.. Ben clearly won rounds 2 and 3, but 4 was controlled by Don, and round 1 was his too.. As for round 5, the judges did what I thought they would, and took it as the guy on top being in control.. This is something that REALLY, REALLLLLLY needs to be changed in today’s judging.. It makes me sick to my stomach every time someone wins a decision, despite being on the defensive and dodging submissions the whole time..
Sure, takedowns get you points, but should you win a round that you got two takedowns in, when you had to turtle just to survive?
Ben’s a great fighter, he surprised the hell out of me tonight, and I now have a world of respect for him, I just don’t think he should have won..
I hate Varner. And if Ben fights anything like he did tonight against Varner, he’ll have no problem winning.. So, I guess I’m content..
