Eddie Wineland was the first WEC bantamweight champion. World Extreme Cagefighting is closing its doors without Wineland re-attaining the belt, but the belt is still his ultimate goal, only now it will be under the banner of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
The first full UFC bantamweight title fight is likely to be a showdown between current champion Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber, but Wineland is ready to let everyone know that he’s in the hunt.
