UFC owns the WEC right now I believe. I will be happy to see some of the lighter weight classes finally under the UFC banner.

He is a terrible guy to have running an organization.

the UFC doesn't own the WEC ..... the Fertitta brothers have a company called Zuffa inwhich "Zuffa own's" the UFC, WEC and Pride.



but i love the move, now the UFC won't have as many ok cards .... the 145er's and 135er's are so much fun to watch !! they are in talks about in the future of having a 125 pound division also, and one myabe a women's division. but Dana doesn't want to do that yet, cause he say's there aren't enough top women fighters (most of them are in Strikeforce or Dream) right now.

yeah ......... Dos Santos will be his next opponent, and they are thinking of having an event for the HW title either in Mexico or Brazil !! but who knows if they can pull it off. .....

Carwin was busted for roids well wait maybe not roids but he was taking some type of muscle builder that is banned. so he is on shaky ground right now......but he was scheduled to face Roy Nelson next at UFC 125 on NYE, but Carwin hurt myself during training so he might be out for a bit, he was having back problems and will probably have to get surgery.

Zuffa owned both promotions. I'm sure that is what he meant. They also bought and folded the WFA and Pride back in 2006.

Carwin was straight busted. His name was on the Customer list of a Doc that was busted for distribution. He's as busted as Bill Romanowski and Shane Mosely were.

Federal prosecutor ties UFC's Shane Carwin to steroid distribution ring

Recent UFC title challenger Shane Carwin is among 22 professional athletes cited as recipients of steroids distributed by Applied Pharmacy Services, an Alabama-based organization, according to a report released Friday evening on Al.com, courtesy of the "Mobile Press-Register."

Assistant U.S. Attorney Donna Dobbins revealed Carwin's name, as well as six others, during the sentencing of J. Michael Bennett, a former supervising pharmacist at Applied Pharmacy Services.

Bennett, who was convicted earlier this year, received a four-year prison term for his role in a nationwide conspiracy to illegally sell anabolic steroids.

According to Dobbins, the seven individuals named were delivered orders that contained Bennett's initials or signatures.

Carwin and his manager, Jason Genet, were unavailable for comment when contacted by MMAjunkie.com. Genet did tell MMAFighting.com that his client plans on making a statement at a later date.

Court documents refer to the 22 alleged recipients by initials only. Entry No. 17, identified as "S.C." and "Professional Fighter," claims the recipient received Trenbolone, Testosterone, Stanozolol injectable and Nandrolone from January to August of 2006.

If the entry does refer to Carwin, the former UFC interim heavyweight champion fought three times on the regional circuit following the conclusion of said period before making his UFC debut in May 2008.

Carwin has not tested positive for any banned substances during his five-year MMA career.

The clinic associated with the illegal prescriptions distributed to "S.C." is noted on the same document as Infinite Health, located in Carwin's home state of Colorado.

The other six alleged participants named on Friday included four professional bodybuilders and two professional wrestlers, including former Olympic gold-medal winner and longtime WWE star Kurt Angle.

Bennett was the first of five men found guilty for their involvement in the steroid ring to be sentenced. Prosecutors made no mention of an attempt to prosecute any of the 22 recipients on the list.
