UFC is like that of the NFL of mma. The WEC is basically in second place to them. The UFC would carry the heavy weight classes 160lb+ and the WEC the lighter weight classes 125lb-155lb. This move is gives former WEC, to be UFC fighters many benefits. First off they will be on a more popular channel, SPIKE which hosts the UFC.
They will also get an increase in pay seeing as the UFC is a multi-million dollar organization. MMA fighters can take all the pay they can get. Since unless your champion or really popular the paycheck is sort of lacking. Compared to what you would get in a regular office job salary. With the UFC only being 18 years old, and mma still a young sport, not alot of money is given out to fighters like that in boxing and other professional sports. Where you see NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL players having million dollar contracts. Nonetheless its a no-brainer this merger will create more exciting fights for fans with the lower weight classes and the fighters will have bigger paychecks.
