The WEC recently announced that its WEC 43 event has been set to take place at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas, on October 10.

The event was previously scheduled to take place September 2 at the Covelli Center in Youngstown, Ohio, but an injury suffered by main event fighter Ben Henderson forced the organization to postpone the event.

“We are really excited to be bringing this fight card to San Antonio,” said WEC General Manager Reed Harris. “They say everything’s bigger in Texas. We plan on living up to that slogan by bringing some of the most prominent mixed martial artists in the world to San Antonio.”

“The stars have aligned for this card,” added Harris. “As we stated earlier this week, an injury to Henderson prevented him from being ready to fight on Sept. 2, but he’s fired up and ready for ‘Cowboy’ on Oct. 10. It’s the perfect scenario. We’ve got a world title fight on a Saturday night in one of the nation’s biggest cities. It doesn’t get much better than that.”

WEC 43: Cerrone vs. Henderson is headlined by an interim WEC lightweight title fight between Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and Ben “Smooth” Henderson.

The event will be broadcasted live on VERSUS at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
