if the ufc is trying to cut down fighters well an idea would be to send some to the wec and In my opinion here are some fighters by weight-class who should go to the wec from the ufc

Lightweight: frankie egder should be there because he would do great at 145, rob emerson, terry etim, melvin Guillard, cole miller, mark bocek

welterweights: matt serra lol, jason tan, jess Liaudin, luke cummo, josh burkman and chris lytle would own that division in the wec

middleweights: marvin eastman, kendall grove, jeremy horn, pete sell, evan tanner and sakara would do great in the wec

Light-heavyweight: James Irvin, luiz cane, Kazuhiro Nakamura , houston alexander and tim Boetsch depending on their next fights



do you agree or disagree and what fighters do you think should go to the wec??

A lot of those fighters would bring some life to the WEC. I did hear recently that Zuffa was going to have the WEC feature more of the lower divisions. I wouldn't mind the UFC thinning the roster a little and putting some of their fighters in the WEC to make it a little deeper org. It would definitley put more people in the seats, and maybe draw more tv viewers.

Better start using spellcheck. Thought you were saying Machida there for a
second.
Why would you send an unbeaten fighter, who as of now no one can handle, to
the WEC before he at least gets beaten or gets a title shot?

I guess you can sum this thread up by saying 90% of the TUFers, and a couple select others.

Keith Jardine. As good as he's been at times in UFC, he just can't get that one win to either put him over the top or back up a big win.

I think matt serra should stay in the light weight division at the ufc. I think chris lytle should stay in ufc WW. i think james irvin luiz cane and tim boetsch should all stick to the ufc LHW. i would send the rest away.

What?! I think wins over Forrest and Chuck are pretty BIG wins...

I think all the losers of the TUF should go the WEC, only the winner should fight in the UFC, until thay can prove themselves.

First of the need to sign famed former UFC fighter , Joe Son, give him an imediamte title shot(almost postitive he's a heavyweight, so reinstall the WEC heavyweight division)


But seriously, Call me crazy, Nate Quarry, he would be a force in the WEC
(almost guarnteed[sp?] a title)
