Why WEC Should Join The UFC

Posted in Sports on October 4th, 2010 by Dave Parsons – Be the first to comment

With World Extreme Combat (WEC) 51 now in the books, the unavoidable discussion has come to light once more, will Zuffa make plans to combine the WEC and also the Ultimate fighting championship? Even though the WEC is profitable by itself, it’s facing the same concerns as not just the Ultimate fighting championship, but all of the secondary promotions in America. Market over saturation is an extremely genuine thing, and even though the sky is not about to fall, it’s hard to argue that too much of a good thing is a good thing at all. For every Ultimate fighting championship 116, we get a handful of UFC 119’s. Looking forward, we also see lots of the sports greatest names passing their primes, and there is more going out than you’ll find arriving recently. In my opinion, undeniably, that opening up the featherweight and bantamweight classes inside the UFC can aid the promotion in avoiding lack luster cards that send bloggers and journalists sounding alarms, but more to the point, lead to more money.

Do not get me wrong, the title of this post is not “Why Zuffa NEEDS to Merge the UFC and WEC”, I’m not of the perception that I’ve a fraction of the knowledge required to run a multi-million dollar company, but neither of those promotions needs one other. Yet, I do feel that all parties involved would be best served making this move, and us, the fans, will reap the huge benefits.

Following the jump, my three big motivators in making this theoretical move a real possibility.

Throughout the world, one thing that brings people together in spite of differences in politics and religion, is a good game. Many people have extreme passion for a particular team, whether it is hockey in Sweden or football in Britain, or basketball in the USA. A large number of people convene at stadiums or fields to cheer on their favorite players and teams. The ability to do this is not without a price, however, and sports tickets can command a high one.

To be fair, admission fees to sporting events goes back almost as far as the events themselves. You can be sure that many a Roman paid a small price to watch the chariots race and the gladiators fight. And, of course, there were always those events that drew larger crowds and were worthy of higher admission prices. Thousands of years later, the venues have changed, slightly, but the status quo remains.

Sports tickets are increasingly becoming more difficult to acquire, especially for major events like the Super Bowl or the World Cup. The world of online ticket sales has increased the access that the general population has to some of these tickets. It has also led to profiteers trying to find new ways to scalp tickets.
