A showdown between WEC and UFC champions is on the horizon.
The winner of an upcoming WEC title fight between champion Ben Henderson
and challenger Anthony Pettis will meet the winner of an upcoming UFC
title fight between champion Frankie Edgar and challenger Gray Maynard.
The news was shared today by UFC president Dana White on the heels of an
announcement that the UFC is folding the WEC into its promotion in
January 2011, though he did not provide a timeline for the meeting
between the two promotions’ lightweight champions.
