Clint Godfrey is a WEC bantamweight. He earned his WEC break by being a late replacement against Wagnney Fabiano at WEC 46 in a bout he would lose by unanimous decision.
MMAmania's Brian Hemminger takes a closer look at tomorrow's UFC on Fuel TV 7 headlining fight between UFC Interim Bantamweight Champion Renan Barao and challenger Michael McDonald. What's the key to victory for both men? Find out inside.
MMAmania.com resident fighter analyst Andrew Richardson breaks down the mixed martial arts (MMA) game of UFC on FUEL TV 7 headliner Michael McDonald, who this weekend will look to claim the 135-pound interim championship at Renan Barao's expense.
Bantamweight up-and-comer Michael McDonald was on the fast-track to bigger and better things inside the UFC's 135-pound weight class, including a potential 135-pound title shot. But first, he had to get through former division kingpin Miguel Torres.
Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto's road to his first UFC victory will have to wait, as he had to pull out of UFC 130 due to an undisclosed injury. 20-year-old Michael McDonald, who was expected to face Nick Pace on UFC 133, will now step in to face Chris Cariaso.
Mixed martial arts fans won't have to wait until Saturday to get their eyes on some explosive, high-paced action as WEC 52 will take place on Thursday, November 11th from the Pearl at the Palms in Las Vegas, Nevada. It will be the WEC's penultimate event before their swan song on December 15th at WEC 53.
