MMAunkie breaks the news
World Extreme Cagefighting has partnered with Image Entertainment, Inc., for a "long-term" DVD distribution agreement.
The first release is set for this summer.
According to an official release issued by the companies today, the agreement calls only for the release of "select" WEC events, the first of which will be April's wildly successful "WEC 48: Aldo vs. Faber" event, which is set for a July 20 release.
Image Entertainment Inc. also annouced that other select title will be released.
Information on additional WEC DVD titles will be made available in the coming months.
This is great news, being a DVD collector i was hoping that they would start to release With the release of WEC events it will be a great way to expose casuals to the product. This is also a way to show where current UFC fighters Carlos Condit, Cheal Sonnen, and Brian Stann.
If they package the DVD's with a UFC coat it will serve well for DVD sales and thus boost the stock of the WEC. The light weight classes have been under the radar for quite some time and the Aldo vs Faber was a great step in bringing them to the surface. Now with the release of some older events it will help the WEC in its future PPV ventures.

I saw this a few days ago and just realized
That this is a great way for people to not bother watching the fights they didn’t bother seeing the first time around. Don’t get me wrong, a DVD distribution is great, but not many people went to the trouble of tuning in when it was free on TV, so why would they bother paying cash money for a hard copy of the same thing to stick on their bookshelf? I mean, Zuffa can market it as “UFC Blue” as much as they want, but they can’t edit out all that commentary and logos of the WEC.
