Come next year, World Extreme Cagefighting will be no more.
Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White on Thursday announced that the WEC will merge with the UFC in 2011.
“It's time,” White said during a UFC conference call. “As we continue to grow globally, we’re doing enough fights to fold [the WEC] into the UFC. It’s always been in the cards to grow this sport and add every weight class.”
All WEC talent will be retained, White said, including the 135- and 145-pound champions. WEC featherweight titleholder Jose Aldo will be recognized as the new UFC champion, and the same will go for the winner of Dominick Cruz’s title defense against Scott Jorgensen at the promotion’s final event, WEC 53, in December. White also confirmed that Aldo will defend his new UFC title on Jan. 1 at UFC 125 “Resolution,” though his opponent was still not set in stone.
