Obsiously the WEC champions and #1 contenders probably won't be fighting on the PFC events, but any chance that PFC might book some of the WEC fighters when they're not on the next WEC coming up. Like guys like Alex Karalexis, Olaf Alfonso, Brendan Seguin or Mike Joy who aren't being used on the next WEC event?

I/We still enjoy a great solid freindshship with Reed Harris and Scott Adams...sometimes in life business is business. The new owners/operators of the WEC have a strong relationship wioththe Hard Rock property and the Hard Rock property and you know it is what it is...

Scott Smith is a Zuffa signed fighter and he's on the 3/22 show..I would say that having non-WEC Champions on our shows is not a far fetched idea..keep in mind however that the WEC just like the PFC is really a new product and they need time to develop their new attractions.. Time and TV which is on it's way will help that. Use basic cable tv to sell your PPV's..it's the boxing and WWF model (my first employer in the entertainment world was the WWF by the way..little known fact! $5 per day on average to be on the ring crew! LOL..but I learned quite a bit at an early age. i was 17 back then.)

We would definitely be very open to WEC fighters staying busy on PFC shows and I am certain that with our collective experience of the PFC mgmt, our relationship with the fighters and managers and the economics of the sport that we will continue to bring in a strong mix of guys who deserve an opportunity to fight on a show with higher production values and betyter purses as ours, as well as a mix of established UFC?PRIDE?WEC..etc vets.


Thank you all for your support and trust that we will make this as big if not bigger than what the Valley had become used to. Thats just how we do things.
