Rory MacDonald leaves B.C. due to lack of training partners
It's been talked about for a long time, but has finally happened: The UFC has consumed the WEC into its ranks, along with every fighter signed to that organization (and a ringcard girl!), and will debut their new bantamweight and featherweight divisions shortly.
