Kid needs to show that he still has it first. Joe Warren is pretty damn entertaining to watch. He is like a less self aware version of Chael Sonnen outside of the cage as well.
BW: WEC has almost all the best BW fighters in the world, the only one I think they should seriously look at would be Masakazu Imanari.
FW: WEC should look for some more talent here if Aldo is to remain champ and need new competition. They should look at Bibiano Fernandes from DREAM, Marlon Sandro, Masanori Kanehara (recently got KO'd by Sandro), Joe Warren from Bellator, Pitbull Freire (also bellator), and Hatsu Hioki.
I think the FW division is the WEC/UFC's weakest division, they need WAY more talent.
what do you mean by "lucly" this is not poker or horseshoes... hes a great fighter that had a great knockout. soto will not fight because he has vision problems im not interested in seeing him ko'd anymore.
you should not worry about him for awhile though because he will be competing in the 2012 olympics so you wont see much of him until then
Mann-No Kid-No Omigawa- already offered a contract and might actually fight in wec first.
my picks:
nazareno malegarie
fernando guerra
Ishida
Matt Fiordirosa
midgets (125's)

hmm didnt know that lol, what i meant by lucky is that he got that title based on luck, he was locky soto ended up being a dumbass and got caught and he was lucky time ran out before he got subbed, he isnt a good fighter, hes a tough fighter, has a lot of heart, but nothing to write home about
thats pretty much all he has...heart and wrestling...i cant see him making any waves against WECs top guys and i really dont see how any1 can just because he has a belt...
Apart from the fighters from other promotions listed above, a couple you won't have heard of....
-Nazareno Malegarie, Featherweight, 18-0-0. He's an unbeaten Brazilian with a phenominal record, and 16 of the 18 wins have been by TKO or Submission, so he's a finisher too.
-Kevin Belingon, Bantamweight, 8-0-0. He's also undefeated, just 23 years old and from the Phillipines so would bring in another market.
The thing about adding 145 to the UFC is that some of the smaller 155ers who have a lot of talent will now find it a viable division from a monetary standpoint. There is a lot of talent at FW outside of Zuffa as well so I expect going forward for FW to be as good as LW in MMA.
