World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC), the Zuffa-owned sister promotion to the UFC, is set to host events in Mexico in 2010.

A source close to the organization said that due to the increasing popularity of the brand among Spanish-speaking fans, Mexico is considered a prime territory for expansion and that they anticipate events on Mexican soil "by next year".

The WEC features many fighters of Hispanic origin, and 135lb champion Miguel Torres regularly conducts press tours in the country.
