| August 18, 2005 - WEC XVI - Clash Of The Titans Ron Waterman defeats Ricco Rodriguez Ron Waterman successfully defends his WEC Super Heavyweight belt! With Mike Serr dropping out of the main event just days before the fight and Ricco Rodriguez losing his opponent as well, the WEC reshuffled the deck with a new and improved main event. Credit both fighters for taking this fight on such short notice especially considering the upgrade in competition. Defying the odds, Ron Waterman controlled the action throughout the fight rendering him a unanimous decision over the former UFC champion. H2O appeared to take down the former champion at will scoring numerous takedowns and establishing his ground and pound. After such a dominating performance over one of the world's best MMA fighters only one question remains..... Who's next???

| July 3, 2004 - Pancrase Korea cancelled! As of today the entire fight card will be cancelled as the Korean promoter has run into serious financial trouble and cannot fund the event. Looks like Ron Waterman vs. Josh Barnett fight will have to
wait, for now.
This has to leave a bad taste in the mouth of Pancrase who is not known for this sort of thing. In the end Pancrase, the fighters, and most of all the fans are the ones who will pay for this setback. | | | |
