I should of asked for a new car or something...

I was all set to write Part 2 of my blog detailing why the UFC should merge with their smaller WEC promotion and then Dana White announces that the UFC would absorb the WEC's roster of fighters.  Way to steal my thunder.

The WEC will finish the final two events they had scheduled in 2010 and come January of 2011 the WEC will be no more.  This sets up a few interesting situations that will be hashed out in the coming months.

The winner of the December 16th WEC Lightweight title fight between champion, Ben Henderson, and Anthony Pettis will get to fight the winner of Frankie Edgar versus Gray Maynard for the UFC Lightweight title.  Also, Jose Aldo will be defending his UFC Featherweight title at UFC 125.  Just saying Jose Aldo and UFC title in the same sentence makes me smile.  The guy is a star and will finally get the attention from casual fans he deserves.  All the WEC employees will be brought over to the UFC, even down to the ring card girl, Brittany Palmer.

I'm off to search for more pictures of Brittany Palmer.  Umm.  For research.  Yes, blog research.
