Reed Harris has come a long way from Lemoore, Calif.
The World Extreme Cagefighting co-founder – who started the fight
promotion in 2001 as a potential one-and-done gig – has managed the growth of
the company from its time as a fledgling regional promotion to its current role as the home
of the sport’s best lighter-weight fighters.
But with today’s announcement that the UFC will absorb the WEC beginning in 2011, is Harris perhaps a bit saddened by the
dissolution of the brand he helped create?
Not one bit.
