Just days after the UFC-WEC merger was announced, the first defense of the featherweight belt will soon follow. Champion Jose Aldo will indeed defend the 145-pound championship against Josh Grispi at UFC 125, the UFC has officially confirmed.
Grispi (14-1) had been scheduled to face Erik Koch at WEC 52 on Nov. 11 until being redirected into the title opportunity. The 22-year-old Grispi is 14-1 overall and is unbeaten in four WEC fights, winning all four in the first round.

Erik Koch may have lost his big WEC 52 fight with Josh Grispi after Grispi was pulled from the bout to face Jose Aldo at UFC 125, but Koch will still get the chance to make a final impression to his new bosses before entering the UFC.
Koch will still participate in WEC 52, where he’ll face promotional newcomer Francisco Rivera, WEC general manager Reed Harris confirmed to MMA Fighting.

As news of Roy Nelson being pulled from UFC 125 hits, Versus.com learns that a Featherweight Championship fight may be scheduled in its place between titleholder, Jose Aldo and contender, Josh Grispi. Grispi is undefeated in his WEC career with notable wins against Mark Hominick and Jens Pulver. The proposed bout between the two Featherweights would mark the first ever 145 pound challenge inside the UFC Octagon. Nelson’s fight was pulled from the card when Shane Carwin had to back out of their tilt due to a back injury. UFC 125 will be headlined by Frankie Edgar Vs. Gray Maynard in a Lightweight Championship bout.

(Who wants to see fights finished in here at 145!)
According to a new report from Ariel Helwani, contracts have been sent out to book Jose Aldo vs. Josh Grispi as the UFC’s first official featherweight title fight at #125 (January 1st, Las Vegas). The bout would serve as the co-main event, supporting the lightweight title fight between Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard.
Aldo, now 8-0 in the WEC, most recently defended his belt for the second time against Manny Gamburyan at WEC 51 in September. Grispi is also undefeated under the WEC banner, and has slashed through Mark Hominick, Micah Miller, Jens Pulver, and LC Davis, all in under three minutes of the first round. The Massachusetts native was slated to face Eric Koch at next month’s WEC 52 event, but that fight would be canceled if he accepts the Aldo fight. (And why wouldn’t he, really? Besides the obvious.) As we reported previously, Mark Hominick was originally in line to be Aldo’s next opponent; however, his broken hand is preventing him from competing on New Year’s Day.
Helwani also reports that Roy Nelson — left without an opponent after Shane Carwin’s back-related withdrawal — has been officially pulled from the event.

In the last few days, rumors have cropped up suggesting that Canadian Mark Hominick will be the next man to challenge WEC featherweight champion Jose Aldo.
The rumor seemingly began on Brazilian website Tatame.com, which suggested the fight would happen in January.
Not so fast, says WEC president Reed Harris, who told MMA Fighting that nothing has yet to be decided for the 145-pound superstar.
