Fight Flashback: WEC 53 - a podcast by The Athletic

Shaun, Chuck, and Producer Chris go old school and revisit one of the best fight cards in MMA history, WEC 53, World Extreme Cagefighting’s final event before the merger with the UFC. The guys break down the full event, including the headline Lightweight title fight between Benson Henderson and Anthony Pettis and the co-main event dual UFC-WEC Bantamweight title bout between Dominick Cruz and Scott Jorgensen. Plus, the guys discuss the biggest takeaways from a card that featured the likes of Cowboy Cerrone, Renan Barao, Ricardo Lamas, Eddie Wineland, Iura Alcantara, Brad Pickett, and Jamie Varner, and assess what aged the best, and the worst, the MVP of the event, and so much more.
