While most many MMA fans and observers look forward to the 2011 debut of
the WEC champions in newly created UFC divisions, a handful of
lighter-weight fighters are making the plunge this weekend.
Saturday’s Spike TV-broadcast The Ultimate Fighter 12 Finale event will
host a handful of former WEC athletes, and submission ace Fredson Paixao is among those making the leap.
Paixao admits the chance to compete in the world-famous octagon is a
dream come true, and he believes nerves may play a role with all
incoming WEC fighters.
