Several WEC 37 Fighters Undergo Drug Testing

As is typical for most athletic commissions, the Nevada State Athletic Commission on Wednesday night required WEC 37 main event fighters Miguel Torres and Manny Tapia to submit to the state's drug testing process.

In addition to the main event WEC bantamweight title bout, Nevada also tested several other fighters at random. At WEC 37, these fighters included Shane Roller, Cub Swanson, Bart Palaszewski, Josh Hendricks, Joseph Benavidez, Brian Bowles, and Wagnney Fabiano.

Drug test results are sent to an independent facility for processing and are not immediately available. Results should be known within a matter of days.

WEC Start Time At 8pm EST On Versus

Just a reminder that the World Extreme Cagefighting event this Wednesday night in Las Vegas will start the live broadcast on Versus at 8pm EST/5pm PST.

This is the same time as the last show, but some cable systems did not catch up in time and the listing was incorrect.

The main event for the show will pit #1 bantamweight, Miguel Torres, defending his title against Manny Tapia.

The undercard televised fights will be a showcase of the lighter weight classes, as two top featherweights, Wagnney Fabiano and Akitoshi Tamura, square off as well as bantamweight fights as Brian Bowles faces Will Ribeiro and Joseph Benavidez against Danny Martinez.
