World Extreme Cagefighting President: Scott Avatar

At the post fight press conference of WEC 50 president Reed Harris announced he had been diagnosed with a serious illness that would force him to relinquish his duties. Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White was present to introduce the man who would be taking over, Scott Avatar. Avatar had previously been a talent scout for the UFC finding young stars such as Jon Jones, Todd Duffee and Evan Dunham.
