WEC= UFC Feeder show

Underground
1

I know that Zuffa is claiming otherwise, but the early evidence suggests that the UFC will be loaded with up and comers and UFC castoffs. This isn't neccesarily a bad thing. I think it's a great idea for the UFC to have a minor league system. Maybe they can get some of the their TUF guys from the the WEC.

According to MMAweekly, this is the card so far:

WEC (FIRST SHOW UNDER ZUFFA OWNERSHIP): JANUARY 20, 2007
Hard Rock Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada

-Rob McCullough vs. Kit Cope

-Urijah Faber vs. TBA

-Jorge Olivera vs. TBA

-Lodune Sincaid vs. TBA

The UFC had already recruited plenty of fighters from the WEC before they decided to buy them.

WBJ,

Christian has said that The Tachi Palace will continue to bring MMA`s to The Tachi Palace.Which promotion it is...I have no idea.

Hey folks,
First I and the rest of the Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino are very proud of our relationship with the WEC and are very excited for Reed and Scott. The WEC will really flourish and grow to amazing levels under their new ownership.

The Tachi-Yokut tribe and the Palace made a strong commitment to the sport of MMA and with that said, we have created the Palace Fighting Championship. Our show will employ a 5 roped ring, exciting up and coming fighters and established veterans of the every major MMA org, generous fighter purses and bonuses, 3 minute rounds which give fighters lesstime to stall and gas, and an extremely progressive audio, video and lighting experience. As well as a few other elements not traditionally found in most shows.

Our 1st event is January 18th, tickets are priced at $20, $30 and $40 and you can check us out on myspace at Palace Fighting Championship.

Our website:
www.palacefightingchampionship.com will be up soon.

Peace and I wish everyone a safe and Happy New Year.

wasn't lodine sincaid going to be out of fighting for awhile because of a mental condition he needed to deal with? If that is true I don't see how he can fight on the 20th.

Prince Albert,
This January 18th event will not be televised. However, our website is going to offer the fights on demand.

We are however exploring television broadcast opportunities.

We areadding some elements to the show that will take the term "fight club" and ally bring it to life.

3 minute rounds?! ech.

i'd like to see the ufc use the wec to build up a critical mass of fighters at 145 pounds, then bring them over for a new belt.

Also look for an exciting fighter, Josh Smith, to set that place on fire that night. Another 55'er to keep an eye on.
