A day after reporting that that bantamweight Frank Gomez (8-1 MMA, 2-1 WEC) has been forced off the WEC 46 card with an undisclosed injury, MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has confirmed his replacement: WEC newcomer Clint Godfrey (11-1 MMA, 0-0 WEC).
WEC officials today confirmed that featherweight prospect Godfrey has signed a multi-fight deal with the promotion and meets Wagnney Fabiano (12-2 MMA, 2-1 WEC) at WEC 46. The officials confirmed the fight will take place at 135 pounds.
WEC 46 takes place Jan. 10 at ARCO Arena in Sacramento, Calif. The main card airs live on Versus, though Fabiano vs. Godfrey is expected to be part of the un-aired preliminary card.
Although the nature of Gomez's injury wasn't immediately available, the fighter is expected to return in the spring of 2010.
