WEC 47 now officially has a full, 11-bout card as featherweights Leonard Garcia and George Roop has been made official – finally. The event will take place on March 6 from the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, OH, with the main card being televised on Versus.

Originally, Garcia was to take on Diego Nunes, but Nunes had to pull out of the bout, due to an injury suffered while training. He is looking to rebound from a unanimous decision loss to Manny Gamburyan; prior to that loss, Garcia went 3-1 in the WEC, including victories over Jameel Massouh, Jens Pulver and Hiroyuki Takaya.

Meanwhile, Roop is seeking his first win under the WEC banner after dropping a unanimous decision to Eddie Wineland at WEC 46 back in January; prior to competing in the WEC, Roop had three fights over at the UFC.
