Are UFC-WEC joint shows on the horizon? Dana White says he has “long-term gameplan”

This past Saturday’s “WEC 48: Aldo vs. Faber” event benefited from a promotional push from its sister promotion – the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

As MMAjunkie.com previously reported, the reason was simple: to get some preliminary fights on Spike TV as a teaser to the WEC’s first-ever pay-per-view event, the WEC branding had to be stripped.

But what about a next step in the UFC-WEC relationship? Could we ever see UFC and WEC fighters competing on the same card?
