Update: Varner Not to be Stripped of Title

WEC Lightweight Champion Jamie Varner will not be stripped of his title as reported, following a story at Vindy.com, which stated that the promotion’s upcoming September 2nd event would feature a lightweight title fight between Ben Henderson and Donald Cerrone. According to a story by MMA Junkie this afternoon, WEC General Manager Reed Harris maintains that his earlier comments were taken a bit out of context, and that the injured Varner will only be stripped of the belt if he cannot return to defend his title.

Jamie is not stripped of the title,” Harris said. “We’re all hoping Jamie can come back later this year and defend his title against whoever wins the interim title.

Cool beans. Hopefully Varner (who as outlined earlier had so many injuries, after his win over Cerrone, it was like he had been in a train wreck) is back soon enough.

The interim title fight between Henderson and Cerrone will take place in Youngstown, Ohio, September 2nd, at the Covelli Centre.
