So I’ve decide to write this blog about one of my favorite promotions going, the WEC.

They have done an exceptional job putting on top notch events with the small roster that they have. I think under the right circumstances, they could be an even better promotion, by utilizing some of the UFC’s under-valued and relatively unknown fighters to become recognized as the second best (In my opinion best) fight organization in the world.
 
What I’ve done is, gone through the UFC’s current roster and taken fighters that would be better served competing in the WEC. Whether it’s for experience, a new weight class or simply a fresh start in a new promotion, I left roughly 15 plus top fighters in each division, so the UFC wouldn’t be hurting. In addition, the UFC continues to add to their roster by combing the earth for top tier talent.
