Mark HominickA featherweight bout between former Affliction fighters Mark Hominick vs. Deividas Taurosevicius is in the works for WEC 43 on September 2nd in Youngstown, Ohio and a lightweight bout pitting EliteXC veteran Muhsin Corbbrey against Anthony Njokuani is also in the works for the Versus-televised event, according to Sherdog.

A veteran of TKO and a former UFC fighter, Hominick (16-8), who fights out of Xtreme Couture in London, Ontario, last fought in the WEC in February 2008, suffering a first-round submission to Josh Grispi, but rebounded with a second-round armbar submission of Trenell Young in his Affliction debut last July. Taurosevicius (10-3) is an IFL veteran who had won six-straight bouts before suffering a decision loss to Ryan Schultz in his most-recent fight in May 2008.

Corbbrey (8-3) had won three-straight fights since suffering a loss to Jim Miller in August 2006, but was defeated by Nick Diaz in EliteXC last May in latest matchup. Njokuani (10-2) lost to lightweight contender Ben Henderson in his WEC debut in January, but bounced back with a second-round TKO of Bart Palaszewski in April.

WEC 43 is headlined by an interim lightweight championship bout between Donald Cerrone and Ben Henderson. Click here to check out the rumored fight card for WEC 43.

    I like this fight between Hominick and tourosevicius. Both are solid fighters at 145 and are both a little underrated IMO. Hominick will likely look to keep this won standing where he will likely do well, but will have his work cut out for him with the relentless lithuwanian.
