Fresh off a barnburner with fellow Canadian Yves Jabouin at WEC 49, Mark Hominick takes on another hard-swinging featherweight when he meets Leonard Garcia on the televised portion of WEC 51.

The match-up was first reported by MMAWeekly.com and confirmed today by MMAjunkie.com via sources close to the promotion.

Although not officially announced, WEC 51 takes place Sept. 30 at the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, Colo., and airs live on Versus.

It's not very often that fights become larger than life and actually live up to the hype.

But at this past weekend's WEC 49 event in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Mark Hominick and Yves Jabouin combined to deliver a toe-to-toe battle that lived up to every bit of the hype generated by eight years of build-up.

Surprisingly, despite getting up off the canvas to deliver a second-round TKO of Jabouin, Hominick said he wasn't sure exactly how great the fight was. In fact, there are a few seconds he doesn't even remember.

During last night’s “WEC 49: Varner vs. Shalorus” post-fight press conference, WEC official Reed Harris announced the “Fight Night” bonuses for the event.

Walking away with a $10,000 bonus were Mark Hominick and Yves Jabouin for “Fight of the Night,” while Eddie Wineland earned the “Knockout of the Night,” and “Submission of the Night” was warded to Josh Grispi.

Hominick and Jabouin fought in the co-main event and saw both men push the pace. Near the middle of the second frame, Hominick put Jabouin into the fence and presses the attack. Jabouin climbs back to his feet and responds with a right hand that put’s Hominick on the mat. As Jabouin jumps in to finish he’s caught in Hominick’s guard who rolls him over to gain mount and finishes the fight.

Wineland was awarded the “Knockout of the Night” after stopping opponent Will Campuzano in the second round at 4:44. Wineland used a couple of tough body shots to Campuzano to put him to the mat and finishes with a good shot to the jaw to win the fight.

Grispi won the “Submission of the Night” after submitting opponent L.C. Davis in the middle of the first round. He beat out four other fighters who also earned submission victories on the evening. Davis refused to tap out and was put into unconsciousness by the choke.

Mark Hominick, Yves Jabouin, Eddie Wineland and Josh Grispi each earned "Fight Night" bonuses for their performances at Sunday's "WEC 49: Varner vs. Shalorus" event.

Hominick and Jabouin each cashed in as the evening's "Fight of the Night" for their all-Canadian brawl, Wineland was awarded the "Knockout of the Night" award, and Grispi earned the "Submission of the Night" bonus for his first-round chokeout of L.C. Davis.

Each bonus was worth $10,000.

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.

Former WEC lightweight champion Jamie Varner is doing his best to keep his eye on Kamal Shalorus. But he's glancing over the former Olympic wrestler's shoulder at current 155-pound title-holder Ben Henderson.

Shalorus isn't hiding his intentions; he wants a shot at Henderson's gold, too.
