Spencer Fisher Could Be Heading To WEC

That's what he says...
Following his win over Caol Uno at UFC 99, Spencer Fisher started a new thread on the MMA Underground Forums where he thanked Uno for the fight and complimented his opponent.
Last night Fisher posted a question in the thread.
"Maybe to the WEC, what do you guys think?"
Currently the lightweight division is the only weight class offered by both the UFC and WEC. Both organizations are owned by Zuffa LLC, so it's not unheard of for fighters to transfer from one company to the other. If Fisher were to make the move to the WEC, he would have to be considered an immediate contender for the organization's lightweight title.
The current WEC Lightweight Champion is Jamie Varner, however he is sidelined with a hand injury suffered in his last defense against Donald Cerrone. Cerrone will meet Ben Henderson at WEC 43 on September 2 to determine an interim champion in the division.
Why be a small fish in a ocean when he could be a big fish in a small pond? ...especially when he's shown troubles in moving to the top of the UFC's division.

The ufc lw division is overcrowded, the wec's is sparse. I've been saying for a year now to merge them and leave the lws in the wec when they go to ppv. Maybe not at ufc prices but $30 a show I'd pay for a wec event with the ufc lws adding star power
