However, due to headliner Benson Henderson having eye surgery, the event was later rescheduled.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WEC 43 Rescheduled for Oct. 10 )〕 The main event was expected to be a WEC Lightweight Championship bout between current champion Jamie Varner and challenger Donald Cerrone. This was to be a rematch of their bout at WEC 38 which ended in a controversial technical split decision, but Varner was deemed medically unable to return to competition. Instead, the WEC had Cerrone face Benson Henderson, for the WEC Interim Lightweight Championship, with the winner fighting Varner in a title unification bout when he was medically cleared. The Varner/Cerrone rematch would later take place at WEC 51 the following year (though after Varner lost the title), where Cerrone won by unanimous decision. A previously announced bout between Alex Karalexis and Anthony Pettis has been cancelled due to an injury suffered by Karalexis while training. The fight was rescheduled for WEC 48, where Pettis won via submission. Mark Hominick was expected to face Deividas Taurosevičius at the event, but was forced from the bout with an injury and replaced by Javier Vazquez.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WEC 43: Javier Vazquez replaces Mark Hominick, meets Deividas Taurosevicius )〕 Erik Koch was expected to face Wagnney Fabiano at the event, but was forced from the bout with an injury and replaced by promotional newcomer Mackens Semerzier.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Newcomer Mackens Semerzier replaces injured Erik Koch on WEC 43 prelims )〕 Rafael Rebello was originally scheduled to face Scott Jorgensen at this event, but was removed from the bout and replaced by Noah Thomas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Noah Thomas replaces Rafael Rebello, meets Scott Jorgensen at WEC 43 )〕 Akitoshi Tamura was expected to compete against Damacio Page at this event, but was pulled from the card due to injury and replaced by WEC newcomer Will Campuzano.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Texas product Will Campuzano replaces injured Akitoshi Tamura at WEC 43 )〕 The event drew an estimated 419,000 viewers on Versus.〔http://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/wec-43-cerrone-vs-henderson〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「WEC 43」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
