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.

This move is equally good for both the WEC and Thomas. I also agree that its a bad matchup for him against Faber if he gets that title shot because of Faber's aggressive style.

I personally can't wait to see how he does at 145 lbs.

I actually really want to see Thomas vs. Pulver, I think that'd be a war standing up. I'm not sure how strong Thomas will be at 145, and I'd really have to sout that a little before I start comparing him to Faber (because if Faber would physically just bulldog him, then that's not a matchup I'd care to see), but his technical skills and experience are certainly more impressive than Fabers.
He hits hard and he's got good subs, so I think that he has a shot at Faber almost as much as Jens does (though, in fairness, Jens also has a wrestling background and Miletich behind him), and I think that all three of these guys are making this division interesting. The more I watch, the more I like the WEC.

Great to know Zuffa still keeping him around. Thought they might axe him like they did Jake Obrien and Travis Lutter.

I didn't know Din could make 145, that is pretty good news.

I'm sure you probably already know this but Thomas already beat Pulver by heel hook in 2000, so I would really want to see a rematch to between the two. |
