Joe Cavallaro from the WCF says he hopes to be a farming system for the UFC...

"I manage guys like Kenny Florian, Marcus Davis, Sam Hoger, Alex Karalexis and Drew Fickett’s entire UFC career so I’ve been around both sides of the business for a while and I also have a background in boxing. I worked with a guy that was the middleweight champion of the world in boxing. That’s where I kind of got my feet wet with this and my thing is it needs to be a place for guys to be able to grow, showcase their talents and then move up to the bigger organizations. There needs to be a consistent show to do that; a place where the bigger shows could actually look. They’re doing it everywhere. I mean, there are shows in bar rooms, arena’s and all of these different shows happening, but nobody has established themselves as a feeder to the bigger shows and that’s where our sweet spot is."

"Some of these guys, this will be their only opportunity to ever fight in front of Dana and some of them, Dana might like what he saw and call them up and keep his eye on them. It’s a real big opportunity and we’re real excited about having him come up. Dana is a real good guy."

Interesting concept...I always wondered where the UFC found more talent outside of TUF. I didn't know Dana was actually doing some of the scouting himself.

Here's the rest...

Is anyone thinking about checking out this card? They're going to have a bunch of guys there...

"We’re bringing in Marcus Davis, Kenny Florian, Sean Gannon, the only guy to ever beat Kimbo Slice, Jorge Rivera, who just came off of a devastating knockout of Kendall Grove, Alex Karalexis is going to be there, Ninja Ruas, Mark DellaGrotte and Peter Welsch is also going to be there."

If anyone runs into Gannon, be sure to ask him what he thinks about Slice vs. Abbott. LOL.
