WEC has been delayed until November due to Hurricane Ike.
Because God hates MMA fans (except for Tommy Hackett), I would assume.

Oh man I had completely forgotten about Diaz/Sakurai.
Imagine, if you would, my delight.

Look forward to that upcoming WEC. Too bad it got delayed because of the hurricane: I was really looking forward to Urijah Faber’s fight
