A WEC- The Ultimate Fighter?

As the 10th season of THE ULTIMATE FIGHTER drags on with one sloppy heavyweight fight after another, I would like to suggest that Zuffa shake things up a bit. I know that they are already casting light heavys and middle weights for the 11th season but I would like to suggest that for the 12th season (if there is one) that Zuffa consider using it's 145 or 135 lbs division. It might be even a good weigh to launch the long awaited 125lbs fly weight division.

If Zuffa decided to use 125lbs it would be an excellent way to introduce a wider audience to some of the players at that weight while they create the division. One thing for sure the smaller guys will fight like hell and won't gas out after 3 minutes like this seasons heavy weights. The rumor mill is buzzing that Miguel Torres will be on Rumored UFC card in Mexico in April. If that is the case, more mixed cards will be on the way. This seems like a logical step if ZUFFA is serious about the potential merger of the two promotions. I for one would like to see the two companies remain distinct entities but by putting some WEC fighters on a series of TUF it could bring some added exposure to the WEC.
