    WEC streaming for $10.

    Only started watching WEC's in the last few months, but have yet to see a dull show.

    http://mmajunkie.com/news/15656/wec-to-offer-online-feed-of-wec-42-to-non-north-american-fans-for-9-99.mma

    Mixed-martial-arts fans residing outside North America can purchase an online feed of next month's WEC 42 event for $9.99.

    WEC Vice President Peter Dropick announced the new broadcast option during a media conference call today.

    The feed, available at WEC.tv and UFC.com, features WEC 42's full main card, including the main event of WEC bantamweight champion Miguel Torres vs. Brian Bowles, with the same English-language broadcasters that are found on the WEC's television partner, Versus.

    WEC executives said they launched the feature for the Aug. 9 event, which takes place at the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, partially because of strong interest from Japanese fans who want to see main-card fighter Takeya Mizugaki, as well as Jeff Curran and Jameel Massouh, who also have Japanese ties.

    Fans in North American will be "geo-blocked" from purchasing the feed because of broadcast rights held by Versus.

    For complete coverage of WEC 42, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of MMAjunkie.com.

    +1 even the 'on paper' weaker cards are quality , they always have the events midweek though which needs to be considered if you're planning on watching the stream live.
