British-Iranian lightweight Kamal Shalorus will miss the promotion that gave him his big break in mixed martial arts.
“Honestly, I love WEC,” Shalorus recently told MMAFighting.com. “WEC is kind of like my home and I know UFC and WEC [will be] coming together. I’m going to miss the WEC.”
While the WEC and UFC are within the same family and by default, share much in common, there will still be something lost once the WEC-UFC merger is completed.
“It’s such a great organization, but at the end, the WEC and the UFC are the same, so I’m so super excited if I could get inside the UFC,” he continued. “Yeah, I’m super excited, but I feel like I wish WEC were there too, you know?”
