Background

Mark Hominick was scheduled to face Yves Jabouin on this card, but Jabouin has been forced off the card with an injury. Jabouin was replaced by WEC newcomer Bryan Caraway. Hominick and Jabouin would later face off at WEC 49 on June 20th, 2010, with Hominick winning via TKO.

Wagnney Fabiano was scheduled to fight Frank Gomez at this event, however Gomez withdrew with an undisclosed injury and was replaced by Clint Godfrey. The Fabiano/Gomez bout was also rescheduled for WEC 49, where Fabiano won by unanimous decision.

Bantamweight contests pitting Eddie Wineland against Rafael Rebello and WEC newcomer George Roop against the returning Jesse Moreng were both scratched from this card after Rebello and Moreng both withdrew from the event. Rather than find new opponents, Wineland and Roop were instead matched up against each other on this card.
