BROWN VS. FABER WEC TITLE FIGHT LIVED UP TO HYPE; MORE THAN SIX MILLION VIEWERS TUNED INTO VERSUS THIS WEEK TO SEE MOST ANTICIPATED RE-MATCH IN MMA HISTORY

Network Launches Hard-Hitting Third Season of WEC WrekCAGE on June 17

NEW YORK, N.Y. (June 12, 2009)—VERSUS, the exclusive television home of World Extreme Cagefighting® (WEC®), garnered a 1.1 national HH rating and was the top-rated cable network in the country among all key male demos for its live WEC telecast on Sunday, June 7, featuring the most-anticipated featherweight championship re-match in MMA history between Mike Brown and Urijah Faber.

The fight lived up to the hype and featured five full rounds of intense action in the cage with Brown proving to viewers that he is still the #1 featherweight fighter in the world. Faber, who broke his hand in the first round, battled it out until the very end, but without full use of both hands, Faber was unable to overcome Brown and win back his belt. VERSUS re-aired the entire Brown vs. Faber II fight card immediately following its live telecast on Sunday and, due to overwhelming demand from fans, twice again on Wednesday, June 10. In total, the bout was seen by more than six million viewers.

In Sacramento, Faber’s hometown and the fight’s location, the live telecast on June 7 garnered a 2.2 HH rating, making VERSUS the top-rated cable network in the city for the time period.

On the heels of VERSUS’ June 7 live fight telecast, the network will debut a third season of WEC WrekCAGE on Wednesday, June 17, at 10:00 p.m. ET. WEC WrekCAGE is an explosive mix of VERSUS’ best live events and the top matches from WEC events never before seen on television. This season will include 10 one-hour episodes featuring some of the best fighters in the WEC organization such as Urijah Faber, Mike Brown, Rob McCullough, Cub Swanson, Donald Cerrone and Jose Aldo, among others.

The hard-hitting first episode includes four of the fighters who headlined VERSUS’ live Brown vs. Faber II fight card, including the first meeting between Urijah Faber and Mike Brown in which former champion Faber lost his featherweight title to Brown. In addition to the Brown/Faber fight, the episode will also feature Jose Aldo’s never-before-seen-on-television win over Jonathan Brookins by technical knockout and Cub Swanson’s three round battle with Hiroyuki Takaya.
