Jose Aldo is going to explode.

guess we wont see any lw's on the ultimate fighter any time soon. Also how many of the lw's do you think will get cut over the next twelve months or so now that the division is so deep?

These guys will survive-

Ben Henderson (12-1), Anthony Pettis (13-1), Donald Cerrone (12-3), Bart Palaszewski (35-13), Shane Roller (8-3), Jamie Varner (16-4-1)

These guys are at risk if they lose 2 in a row-

Kamal Shalorus (6-0-2), Maciej Jewtuszko (8-0), Danny Castillo (9-3), Dave Jansen (14-2), Tie Quan Zhang (12-0), Anthony Njokuani (13-4), Chris Horodecki (15-2), Will Kerr (9-2), Ed Ratcliff (7-3), Ricardo Lamas (9-1)

Tie Quan Zhang may get more of a break then other fighters. The UFC wants to expand into China and keeping him makes sense.

If he losses badly they'll cut him.

This is pretty cool.

I'm just hoping this leads to things like Omigawa in the UFC. He already said about a week ago he was interested in the WEC

didnt he say the only thing holding him back was the pay rate of the WEC, and since the ufc pays a lot better this might change his stance

no worries, he is in. Dana White didn't buy that t-shirt for nothing.

Love seeing the little guys...

Notice the WEC is thinnest at LW. Zuffa's been trimming the roster for a little while now in anticipation of this, so the need to cut won't be as bad as everyone keeps saying.
