Palaszewski to WEC; Curran drops to 135
Bart Palaszewski will be the latest talent to join the WEC’s ranks on the heels of the demise of the rival International Fight League promotion. Palaszewski (29-11) has been offered a six-fight deal with the Zuffa-owned organization and said he will be ready to compete as early as its Sept. 10 event in Hollywood, Fla.
Jeff Curran, Palaszewski’s longtime friend and coach, made the announcement Sunday at the opening of his new training facility in Crystal Lake, Ill., unbeknownst to the Polish-born lightweight.
Curran, who unsuccessfully challenged champion Urijah Faber for the WEC featherweight crown last December, also announced his own intentions to move down to the promotion’s bantamweight division.

two great stories in one. palaszewski coming to the wec is something that i wanted since the ifl closed shop. he is a GREAT addition to the wec. i wish horodecki would've went to the wec too. then curran moving down to bantam might mean that torres' next opponent might be curran instead of tapia or bowles. the opportunities are endless. ahhhhhh! i love it!
