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.

Man dude I would love to see Faber/Thomas even though I'd probably go with Faber!!!!! You also have a rematch with Pulver if he beats Faber, Din is going to be a force at 145

What a great addition to the WEC. Faber/Thomas would be a good show and a good test for Faber. Good to see the WEC bringing in the talent. I might not be his biggest fan but Din is a good fighter.

Thats great news. I have always liked Din and hoped he would get on track and get a string of wins but I think he will be much stronger at 145.

Wow, how has this thread not gotten more love? Din at 145 is great, it makes perfect sense. He could be a force...but I still would take Faber over him. Din has trouble when his opponent is a relentless aggressor, which practically describes Faber's style.

Great addition for the WEC. I can see Din getting a title shot within a few fights. I don't hink he could beat Faber . . . but I could see him getting a shot.

He has a monster reach. Like 75" or maybe even 76". Thats unheard of for a 145er. Shit thats even unheard of for a 155er. Thats gonna be nuts. He used to fight at 170.

This should be a huge boost for Din. We should see the old hungry Din Thomas in the WEC.

This is great for the WEC and gives them even more credibility (it also gives credibility to the rumors that UFC will be moving it's lighter fighters to the WEC and the heavier weight classes to the UFC... even though I still attest that this makes no sense).

I think Din had a shot against Florian, Franca, Fisher, etc. in the UFC, but the WEC he might be a bigger factor as a title contender (especially at 145).
