RE: UFC
WEC was Bantamweight to Welterweight, they abandoned the Middleweight, Light, Heavy, & Super Heavyweight divisions a few years ago.
Middleweight Champ, Paulo Filho - 2007, The WEC Middleweight division was absorbed into the UFC on December 3, 2008, so the WEC could further concentrate on lighter weight classes.
Light Heavyweight, Steve Cantwell - 2008, The WEC Light Heavyweight division was absorbed into the UFC on December 3, 2008
Heavyweight, Brian Olsen - 2006, The WEC Heavyweight division was abolished December 2006 when Zuffa purchased the organization.
Super Heavyweight, Ron Waterman - 2003, The WEC Super Heavyweight title was vacated, and the division abolished December 2006 when Zuffa purchased the organization.
I've never seen a WEC event either astonv1 so i'm looking forward to seeing the little fighters who will add some speed to the UFC cards.

RE: UFC
Cool gang signs...
UFC 131/132 November, 2011 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
This will be some card as the Brazilians know their stuff, i just hope it's not a UK style card & full of Brazilian fighters, although Anderson Silva will be a guarantee, he fights Vitor Belfort in February at UFC 126, so i think the winner may defend the title at ufc 130 & if one of them is still champ then the rematch will be in Rio, even though this means the champion will fight on consecutive cards unless UFC 131 is in October???but the time between UFC 130 & 131/132 in November will be 4 months so Silva v Belfort the rematch could still be at UFC 131/32 Rio de Janeiro November???

I think it probably will to be honest just judging by the number of fighters who come out of Brazil, who are already UFC fighters or have fought in the UFC.
They will always try and play to the home crowd. I dont think it will take away from the event too much if its stacked with Brazilians!
Should be a good card hopefully
