Background

A featherweight bout between Cub Swanson and Hiroyuki Takaya was originally scheduled for this event, but Swanson pulled out due to a broken hand. Promotional newcomer LC Davis had verbally agreed to replace Swanson, but Takaya did not approve the new matchup, and the bout was removed from the card.{{cite web |url=http://mmajunkie.com/news/4935/proposed-davis-takaya-wec-35-fight-scrapped.mma |title=Proposed Davis-Takaya WEC 35 fight scrapped {{!}} MMAjunkie.com |website=mmajunkie.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080805100623/http://mmajunkie.com/news/4935/proposed-davis-takaya-wec-35-fight-scrapped.mma |archive-date=2008-08-05}} The Swanson/Takaya bout was rescheduled for WEC 37 in December 2008, where Swanson won by unanimous decision.
