Managers caught by surprise with WEC merger, unsure whether current contracts will extend

Although there were hints of a big change on the horizon, the UFC/WEC merger caught many fight managers by surprise.

Of several prominent managers MMAjunkie.com spoke with, none were aware of concrete plans to fold WEC talent into the UFC.

As such, there are still questions to be answered about the fate of those under contract with the lighter-weighted promotion, namely whether they will reap the immediate financial benefits of fighting on a bigger stage.
