They made it sound so great that a company went under, the simple fact of the matter was that the WEC failed and they put it with the UFC to carry it.
To compare WEC lightweights to Strikeforce and the UFC is not fair because if they were that good, they would have been fighting for the UFC. I think the world of (Jamie) Varner, but I beat Hermes (Franca) and Hermes beat Varner. Varner was the WEC champ for awhile. So, where does that leave us?
Im thinking (my next fight) will probably end up being Kawajiri, thats a fight I might kick back and wait for. Ive wanted that fight forever. Hes somebody that excites me.
If I fought Kawajiri and lost, it wouldnt distract me, but if I lost to somebody that I wasnt supposed to lose to, then I would start to wonder. To be honest, I had that feeling with the Pat Healy fight.
Basically, that would have been one of those fights where if I had lost, I would have thought, Is this really for me anymore?
