    As fan I'd prefer for the promotions to remain separate. The WEC has been putting on some amazing shows 99% of which are on free tv. A UFC FW division would mean having to pay PPV prices to see what the WEC is putting on now at no price.

    So how do the fighters in WEC actually make any money, given the pittance those in the UFC receive from the organisation?

    i didnt say they shouldnt get paid less or anything like that,ive seen the wec payouts and compared to the ufc they are weak.they put in the same amount of effort if not more than guys in the ufc i think they should be rewarded for it as well.if the ufc put in the lower weight classes they wouldnt market them as well as they should:|
