IFL Featherweight Champion Wagnney Fabiano (10-1) has signed with the WEC, reported Tatame Friday.

Fabiano was undefeated in the IFL, and knocked out Shad Lierley (2-2) in 0:37 in April in his only title defense.

He already has his eyes set on current WEC Featherweight Champion “California Kid” Urijah Faber (21-1).

Fabiano said, “My goal is to fight for the belt and do my best.

“Faber is the best of the world now. To beat him, I think you have to be in good shape. He’s an expert fighter and he has good gas, it’s complicated to beat a guy like him. You have to set a good game plan and be calm and watch the elbows, because if he hits you it can change a whole fight.”
