The WEC might lose the LW division when Cerrone drops. Zuffa never sends UFC LW rejects to the WEC so it becomes pointless to have LW in the WEC.

I'm excited to see Donald in the FW division. I think he has a lot more exciting fights there especially in the WEC. His losses seem to be coming against wrestlers who can basically just put him on his back and win a decision...he'll probably be too big at FW for guys to do that to him so it makes for a lot more interesting matchups w/ his standup and ground skills.

I don't think he beats Aldo right now, but I like this decision regardless because I want to see him fight more often. He always brings it, win or lose.

Great move which leads to more great match-ups!

I love the WEC!!!!
