Main card

Bantamweight bout: Manny Tapia vs. Antonio Banuelos

Tapia def. Banuelos via split decision (28–29, 30–27, 29–28).

The fight was originally announced as a split draw, Banuelos being awarded the victory 29–28 on referee Cecil Peoples' scorecard, and the two others being 30–27 for Tapia and a 28–28 draw, though a scorecard error was realized, and corrected to the ultimate outcome of a split decision for Manny Tapia. Bantamweight Championship bout: Chase Beebe vs. Miguel Torres

Torres def. Beebe via submission (Guillotine Choke) at 3:59 of Round 1 to become the new WEC Bantamweight champion.

Lightweight Championship bout: Rob McCullough vs. Jamie Varner

Varner def. McCullough via TKO (Strikes) at 2:54 of Round 3 to become the WEC Lightweight Champion. This fight, however, was not without controversy. In the third round, McCullough dropped Varner with a looping right hook, and proceeded to land effective ground and pound. The initial right hook knocked Varner's mouthpiece out, and after both fighters got back up to their feet, Varner signaled to the referee for a time-out for him to retrieve his mouthpiece. Steve Mazzagatti, the referee, granted Varner about 30 seconds to get his mouthpiece, which gave him time to recover.

Welterweight Championship bout: Carlos Condit vs. Carlo Prater

Condit def. Prater via submission (Guillotine Choke) at 3:48 of Round 1 to retain WEC Welterweight Championship.
