1. Ring Girls
Do we get to see an expanded roster of ring girls in future UFC events? Arianny Celeste holds it down for the crowd, but Chandella < WEC Ring Girls.
2. Nasal-y WEC Ring Announcer
Does this guy get a bone from the UFC once in a while? Highly unlikely, even if the Buffer is deathly ill. I see small regional shows and the unemployment line in his future.
3. Flyweights
The long rumored addition of a 125lb weight class in the WEC has been something fans, including myself, have been looking forward to for some time now. Now that the lighter guys are part of the UFC banner, is Flyweight on the back-burner indefinitely?
4. Commentary
I'm referring to the fact that one thing the WEC was good for was always having a fighter do commentary on fight cards. I liked hearing Frank Mir, Ken-flo, and even Bonnar's insights on the fights. Now that it's all UFC will these cameos dwindle for the status quo Goldy and Rogan duo?
Overall the merger is good for fight fans I think, as it will mean higher quality fight cards and more title fights for PPV broadcasts. As long as the UFC keeps Spike and Versus full of free events the fans and the fighters should benefit from the merger.
UPDATE: Dana White has stated that they are working on bringing the flyweights into the fold:
“Eventually we will do 125lbs. I believe we will open it up a lot sooner than people think we will. There are going to be more title fights in more places.”Big up ME
