WEC World Extreme Cagefighting is an American mixed martial arts promotion. It is the sister promotion to the UFC, both owned and produced by ZUFFA, with a focus on lighter weight classes and talent building for the UFC. As with its older and much larger sibling, the WEC uses the same rules as the UFC, but it holds its fights in a smaller octagonal cage.

WEC Fight Crossover
Since WEC is owned by Zuffa, and Pride now is owned by UFC. What is the probability that Dana White will have some WEC fighters vs UFC fighters on a UFC ppv?
And second, what would be some good fights?

I think it won't happen until the WEC is more established since Dana doesn't want people to think WEC is the minors.
With that said some good fighters to come over would be.
Carlos Condit - The guys ground game is slick and he is defiantly good enough to compete with the top guys in UFC's WW divison.
Paulo Filho - I hate him with a passion but he's good
Rob Mccullough - The guy could defiantly compete in the UFC LW divison. In a divison with guys who can't finish he would be an intersting guy to put in there since he's got some power.
Jamie Varner - A guy I like a lot I don't understand why he got sent to the WEC in the first place since he was 1-1 in the UFC and won his last fight. The guy can compete with anyone in the LW divison beside Penn and Sherk
Brian Stann - I don't but into him as much as others but he's got some skills no doubt. I think he is somewhat overrated but he has some potential.
Jeff Curran - the guy fights at 145 but he can compete at 155 and has before Curran is an underrated guy who will give Faber a challenge in December.

I might cry if I get to see Rani Yahya in the UFC. Seriously.

Would love to see Faber in the UFC he is the complete package but the only problem is the UFC doesnt have a 145 division at the moment.

Condit and Filho will probably come to the UFC eventually, but I don't think they'll ever pit a UFC guy vs. a WEC guy without signing the WEC guy to a contract.
Dana can't be having UFC guys lose to someone he considers a minor leaguer.

Probably not, since they're seen as different organizations with different outlooks. They are both ownd by Zuffa, but they are clearly different. I can see Filho & Condit coming over, but that's about it. WEC is a B-level organization that is treated as legitimate and separate.
Condit vs Karo.
Condit vs Davis.
Condit vs Alves.
Condit vs Lytle.
Varner vs Fisher.
Razor Rob vs Fisher.
Razor Rob vs Stout.

I just started watching WEC a little while ago but I have been impressed with the fighters but I also have to remember that some times the reason that the fighters look so good is the compition that they are fighting. I do really enjoy watching it though and I am starting to become a fan of some of the fighters. there are a couple atht I could see doing allright in the UFC
