The WEC who has really good fighters in their lighter weight classes announced the signing of former IFL star and lightweight competitor Bart Palaszewski. The organization signed Palaszewski to a six fight deal and says he could be ready to compete as early as September 10, which happens to be the date for WEC 36, but only if he is needed.Palaszewski was supposed to have fought this past Saturday at an XFO event, but his opponent for the bout Eric Wisely failed his medicals. Palawzewski said, "The commission doesn't allow last- minute replacements, so I didn't get to fight." That changed quickly when he found out the WEC officially contracted his services for the next couple of years to come.
Palazewski's friend and mentor Jeff Curran who is in the WEC and recently made the move to the 135 pound weight class made the announcement in front of the gym where they train, “I guess he wanted to make it a big deal, which it is,” said Palaszewski upon learning of his new contract. “He made the announcement in front of our whole gym, family and friends. That’s phenomenal, very cool. It’s definitely the way I would like to find out.” Palazewski with a record of 29-11 just recently defeated Jeff Cox at the inaugural Adrenaline MMA event back in June by way of TKO.
