Dana White says WEC’s lightweight division eventually headed to UFC
Although World Extreme Cagefighting officials have long touted the benefits of having their own lightweight division – the only weight class that overlaps with its sister promotion, the Ultimate Fighting Championship – a change could be on the way.
In a recent interview with USA Today‘s Sergio Non, UFC president Dana White said the WEC’s 155-pound weight class “eventually” will be folded into the bigger promotion.
The division is currently ruled by top prospect and champ Benson Henderson, who meets Donald Cerrone at Saturday’s WEC 48 pay-per-view event at ARCO Arena in Sacramento, Calif.
