Comments on: WEC: Should it Merge with the UFC After Low WEC 47 Ratings? http://www.5thRound.com/26282/wec-should-it-be-merged-with-the-ufc-after-low-wec-47-ratings/ 5thRound.com Wed, 08 Feb 2012 01:42:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Fightfan http://www.5thRound.com/26282/wec-should-it-be-merged-with-the-ufc-after-low-wec-47-ratings/#comment-12687 Fightfan Tue, 20 Apr 2010 19:49:38 +0000 http://www.5thRound.com/?p=26282#comment-12687 I'd love to see the UFC bring in the lighter weight classes, with Rogan and Goldberg calling WEC 48 on ppv, the writing is on the wall that it's time to bring in the lighter weight classes. UFC Featherweight, Bantamweight and Flyweight champions are something that has been absent from the organization for too long. They could use the WEC as the UFC's version of the Strikeforce challengers series. Bring back the weight those other weight classes but use them to give the up and comers some experience. If the UFC is serious about cementing it's position of the world's premier MMA organization, bring in the 125-145 weight classes. 8 Champions means more title fights and that validates the ppv's more. If the UFC had the 145 lbs division: Aldo vs Faber for the UFC Featherweight Title, has a nice ring to it and it would be a fight worth the $.

Bowles clearly wasn't a draw. Faber IS. Please don't merge, just work on building the true talent, and building a fan base.
