A miscarriage of justice in the main event between Jamie Varner and Kamal Shalorus ended what had been a fantastic night of fights during WEC 49 on a sour note.

Varner and Shalorus fought to a split draw according to the judges in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada this evening, although many ringside observers and fans at home would disagree with the ruling.

Varner had his way with Shalorus standing for the bulk of the first two rounds between the two heavy handed lightweights, utilizing an edge in speed and power with his punches to frustrate and rock “The Prince of Persia” on multiple occasions. Seemingly tipping the scales even further in Varner’s favor, Shalorus was docked a point in the second round due to a series of cringe-worthy kicks to the groin. Shalorus made a case for winning the third round after thrusting his foot into Varner’s groin one last time, securing a takedown and working some good old fashioned ground and pound for a large portion of the final frame.

When the dust had a chance to settle following three action packed rounds between the two it was revealed that the bout had been ruled a draw with one judge giving the bout to Varner via a score of 29-27, while another gave it to Shalorus 29-27, and the final judge ruled the bout even at 28-28.

In what should easily be ruled the fight of the night, Mark Hominick came back from being technically frustrated standing for the majority of the first round and rocked in the second round by fellow Canadian featherweight Yves Jabouin to stop his foe with a volley of strikes on the ground in an electrifying back and forth battle.

Josh Grispi confirmed the widespread belief that he is one of the top young fighters in the sport to keep an eye on with a nasty first round guillotine over the seasoned L.C. Davis that left the veteran completely unconscious.

Chris Horodecki bounced back from a defeat in his last bout with an impressive showing this evening against a green Danny Downes. Horodecki picked apart his game opponent at will standing before a third round rear-naked choke put the icing on the cake and the talented Shawn Tomkins fighter back in the winner’s circle.

WEC 49 continues to look better and better as 5 Oz has recently been able to learn of yet another intriguing addition to the upcoming event.

Sources close to Will Kerr (8-2 MMA, 0-1 WEC) have revealed to FiveOuncesofPain.com that the hard hitting lightweight will meet Karen Darabedyan (9-2 MMA, 1-1 WEC) at WEC 49 in Edmonton on June 20.

Kerr looks to rebound after suffering TKO loss to Kamal Shalorus (6-0-1 MMA, 3-0 WEC) this past November at WEC 44. The loss snapped Kerr’s five fight win streak and was the first time he had been stopped since 2006.

Darabedyan is also looking to bounce back from a recent defeat. Darabedyan suffered his first loss in the WEC via arm bar at the hands of Bart Palaszewski (34-13 MMA, 4-2 WEC) at WEC 47.

Both fighters bring a heavy set of hands and excellent boxing skills to the cage. A victory for either will put them back track in the WEC lightweight division.

A full list of the bouts currently expected for WEC 49 is below:

Jamie Varner vs. Kamal Shalorus

Josh Grispi vs. LC Davis

Chris Horodecki vs Ed Radcliff

Mark Hominick vs. Yves Jabouin

Eddie Wineland vs. Charlie Valencia

Frank Gomez vs. Wagnney Fabiano

Will Kerr vs. Karen Darabedyan

Frank Gomez will get his shot at Wagnney Fabiano, after all.

MMAjunkie.com has learned that the pair has each
verbally agreed to meet at the recently announced WEC 49 event in
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and bout agreements are expected to be
finalized shortly.

The pair was expected to meet at January's WEC 46 event, but Gomez
withdrew from the card after suffering an injury in training and was
replaced by newcomer Clint Godfrey.
