Waterman is one of the most feared heavyweights in the world today. He has been absolutely dominant in his last few fights, including a win over in Japan at the Pride Fighting Championships.
Waterman was very impressive with a win over MMA veteran Valentijn Overeem. Waterman dominated the fight and won by submission in the first round.
WEC President, Scott Adams said "Ron Waterman is a tough guy to get fights for. We have talked to several fighters and no one wants to fight the guy. The only guy that would take this fight is James Nevarez. Many heavyweights fear Ron Waterman."
As Adams said, Waterman will fight against up and coming heavyweight James Navarez at the WEC show in a couple of weeks. Navarez is a Pan American Champion with a Jiu-Jitsu back ground.
Also on the same card, world class fighter, Gil Castillo (who is ranked in the top five in the world) will face Team Quest fighter Ryan Schultz. Schultz was a great wrestler from the University of Nebraska, one of the best college wrestling programs in the United States.

Co sądzicie o Ronie ? Według mnie, niezłe z niego "bydle" :)
A jako fighter.. Ostatnio wygrał dwie walki, ale nie lubie stylu G&P podobnego do Kerr'a. Ale jakoś po cichu, liczyłem że powalczy jeszcze trochę w Pride.
Tak czy owak, WEC zyskało sporą gwiazdę, zobaczymy jak "H20" poradzi sobie w tamtejszej organizacji.
