Earlier tonight UFC president Dana White was a guest on TAGG Radio and he was discussing the potential merger between the WEC and UFC and he did confirm that the process was indeed underway. During the topic when he was asked about the merger this is what White had to say,"The answer is yes, and we're working on that right now."
The plan for both organizations like White stated in another interview he would go on to say that the UFC would be for the heavier weight divisions and the WEC's focus would be on the lighter weight divisions.
The WEC just does not have enough fighters in their 185 and 205 pound classes, so it would be a great move for the UFC to add such good fighters as Chael Sonnen, Brian Stann and Paulo Filho to their already deep roster. We will spread the word once we get more information on the reshuffling of the WEC stable of fighters.
