Prangley, Horn, Santiago, Rivera, SELL!!! All respectable, high calibre MMA practitioners who didn't quite make a big enough impression in the UFC. He should take the WEC and ask for some cans to build up his stock. New York Bad Ass would have his ass handed to him by Filho or Sonnen. Prangley, Horn, Santiago, Rivera, SELL!!!

He probably doesn't really get what the WEC is. Maybe he thinks is some sort of deluxe "TUF" League where you work your way up through a ladder. Jeremy

With the potential exposure he could get(with them being on Versus) I'd think it would be good for him. Plus any bout short of Filho or Sonnen would be a showcase basically to watch him knock someone out. And I am sure if he did well in the WEC his value once the contract ended would go up more then it is now, considering the exposure he would also get from it to the mainstream fans.

But Phil didn't win so he should give the WEC offer serious thought. It wouldn't be a bad spot for him. Yep, Dana did say that apparently.

If not, I wonder how much that factors into Baroni's plans. He'd be tested in WEC, which isn't the mediocre organization he suggests. Maybe stiffer competition in that organization is a factor, too.

Zuffa is trying to build the WEC brand using their own fighters. While I think we all can agree that it is not and will not be at the level of a UFC, it's certainly at the level of any other MMA organization.
