Shane Roller ready to erase memory of April loss with WEC 42 bout against Marcus Hicks

For WEC lightweight Shane Roller (5-2 MMA, 2-1 WEC), a former
collegiate wrestling national champion, his wrestling pedigree has been
the base for his initial MMA success

But after his disappointing April loss to Benson Henderson at WEC 40, that wrestling background also made life difficult.

“In wrestling, unless you’re at nationals, you compete about every
week,” Roller recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio. “It’s been four months or so since I got in
the cage. It’s tough to be sitting on a loss for that long and have to
wait so long before you get in there again to redeem yourself.”
