Event chronology
WEC 47: Bowles vs. Cruz WEC 48: Aldo vs. Faber WEC 49: Varner vs. Shalorus

UFC Presents: Aldo vs. Faber, also referred to as WEC 48: Aldo vs. Faber was a mixed martial arts event held by World Extreme Cagefighting that took place on April 24, 2010 at ARCO Arena in Sacramento, California.[4] This was WEC's first and only event on pay-per-view before their merger with the Ultimate Fighting Championship later that year.[5]

Background

The event was first announced by WEC President Reed Harris on the Dave and Mahoney Show.[5]

Jamie Varner was expected to face Kamal Shalorus at this event,[6] but that bout was called off due to an injury sustained by Shalorus.[7] The match was later rescheduled for WEC 49 on June 20, where both men fought to a split draw.

A bout between Alex Karalexis and Zach Micklewright was due to take place at this event, but Micklewright suffered a broken ankle[8] and was later replaced by Anthony Pettis.[9]

Antonio Banuelos was scheduled to face Damacio Page at the event, but Page was forced off the card with an injury. Banuelos ending up facing Scott Jorgensen, in a rematch of their bout from WEC 41 which Banuelos won via split decision.[10]

Cub Swanson was scheduled to face WEC newcomer Chan Sung Jung at this event,[11] but Swanson was forced from the card with an injury. He was replaced by Leonard Garcia.[12]

Mackens Semerzier was scheduled to face Anthony Morrison at this event,[13] but Semerzier was forced from the card with an injury[14] and was replaced by Chad Mendes.[15]

Veteran UFC commentators Mike Goldberg and Joe Rogan handled broadcast duties for the event.[16] Bruce Buffer handled the fighter introductions.[17]

Two of the night's preliminary fights aired on Spike TV, marking the only time that Spike would air live WEC fights before their dissolution.

The advertising & live broadcasts for WEC 48 omitted virtually all references to the WEC brand, with the only exceptions being early versions of the poster, one mention during the broadcast by Joe Rogan, and the WEC logo on the championship belts themselves. During the broadcasts, the announcers referred only to "the organization" while the WEC logo was removed from the cage and the fighters' gloves.[18][19]
