Event Details: World Extreme Cagefighting® is heading to Texas – and it’s bringing two title matches to the Lone Star state. WEC® is proud to announce the main event and the co-main event for WEC: Brown vs. Garcia, featuring WEC featherweight champion Mike Brown making his first title defense against No. 1 contender Leonard Garcia and WEC welterweight champion Carlos Condit once again facing the dangerous Brock Larson live from the American Bank Center Arena in Corpus Christi on Sunday, March 1, 2009.

There are very few fighters who are riding higher than Mike Brown (5’6”/145 lbs., fighting out of Coconut Creek, Fla.) right now. The 33-year-old earned a devastating TKO victory over what seemed to be an indestructible Urijah Faber to earn the WEC featherweight championship last November. Now Brown will fight in his first title defense and not only puts up the title but an impressive 20-4 mixed martial arts record.

Brown will need to get right to work when the champion stares across the cage at Texas fighter Leonard Garcia (5’10”/145 lbs., fighting out of Lubbock, Texas). Garcia, 16-3, is undefeated in three WEC matches and is coming off an impressive first-round TKO victory against MMA veteran Jens Pulver. The 29-year-old Garcia is no stranger to exciting matchups. His 2007 fight against Roger Huerta at UFC® 69, was immortalized on the front cover of Sports Illustrated. Now the WEC’s top featherweight contender focuses on the biggest match of his career.

There’s been one man that has completely dominated the WEC’s 170-pound division and that man is Welterweight champion Carlos Condit (6’2”/170 lbs., fighting out of Albuquerque, N.M.). With a first-round submission victory against Larson in 2007, Condit will be coming in with plenty of confidence. At only 24, the champion has compiled a 21-4 record and is 5-0 in the WEC with four wins coming via submission and one by TKO. Now the champion faces a man he knows all too well.

Title shots are a luxury that some fighters never receive; and Brock Larson (5’11”/170 lbs., fighting out of Brainerd, Minn.), who has won his last two fights since losing to Condit, knows that a second shot at the belt is something that cannot be wasted.
