Now that the WEC will merge itself into the UFC, featherweight champ José Aldo (18-1) will get his chance to defend his newly minted UFC belt against #1 contender Josh Grispi (14-1).

Now that the WEC will merge itself into the UFC, featherweight champ José Aldo (18-1) will get his chance to defend his newly minted UFC belt against #1 contender Josh Grispi (14-1). MixedMartialArts.com was the first to report the matchup, but couldn’t confirm the date, noting that the bout would likely happen on Jan. 1st at UFC 125.
If the fight does take place on the UFC 125 card, it would likely be billed as the co-main event with the UFC lightweight title match featuring champ Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard getting top billing. The previous co-main event was to feature heavyweights Shane Carwin vs. Roy “Big Country” Nelson, but Carwin has since dropped out due to back issues.
Versus.com has confirmed that Nelson has been removed from the event card, so a Aldo vs. Grispi bout could certainly boost PPV numbers.
Grispi had been scheduled to meet Erik Koch on Nov. 11 at WEC 52, but will now move up to the No. 1 contender position to face Aldo.
Grispi has won his last ten bouts, including four under the WEC banner earning wins over LC Davis, Jens Pulver, Micah Miller and Mark Hominick. Every victory but one has ended in the first round for Grispi, with that lone victory coming via decision.
Showcasing much of the same record, featherweight champ Aldo has won eleven straight, including eight in the WEC. Since defeating Mike Brown for the WEC title at WEC 44, the Brazilian has gone on to defend his title against Urijah Faber and Manny Gamburyan.
The WEC has two more events left before their merger with WEC 52 taking place on Nov. 11th and WEC 53 on Dec. 16th in Phoenix.
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 […]
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.

With the official announcement that the WEC would merge with the UFC on Thursday, most of the talk has focused on the two lightweight divisions coming together. Even WEC featherweight champ Jose Aldo was offered a shot at moving up to 155 in the UFC recently, something he turned down for now.
Yahoo! Sports Kevin Iole and Steve Cofield take a slightly different look, asking which UFC lightweight fighters will drop to 145 pounds instead of staying at 155.
Their top five candidates include Clay Guida, Jim Miller, Joe Stevenson, Mark Bocek, and Cole Miller.
Even UFC lightweight champ Frankie Edgar is considered small for 155. With the UFC bringing in the smaller divisions, fighters won’t have to take a paycut by dropping to 145 instead of going to the WEC where the payouts were smaller.
