This past week’s UFC-WEC merger announcement is one of the biggest stories of 2010, and MMA fans discussed all aspects of it in today’s edition of The Sunday Junkie, our weekly reader-feedback feature.

Additionally, could the merger open the door for women’s MMA, and does it now make sense to make WEC star Urijah Faber a coach on “The Ultimate Fighter” reality series?
