Ultimate Fighter 7 Finale Grove VS Tanner: Loser to come to the WEC?

There hasn’t been anything official but from statements made by Kendall “Da Spyder” Grove concerning this fight, I am putting myself on the line here and saying that I believe the loser of this fight will be down in the WEC for their next fight. In a recent video talking about the upcoming fight at the Ultimate Fighter 7 Finale show this Saturday on Spike TV, Grove said “This is basically a loser leaves town match”. I haven’t seen any official words on it or even really any speculation, but I am going out on a limb and saying it now.
I believe the loser of this fight will be the next name to hit the WEC from the UFC. With recent TUF runner up Tommy Spear coming to the WEC and also Jens Pulver, both Kendall Grove and Evan Tanner would both be great names to have in the WEC and would definitely add to the already stacked roster. The talent pool just keeps getting bigger in the WEC and I love it.
With the recent announcement of Lorenzo Fertitta to work full-time to expand MMA promotion this could be also great news for the WEC. The report is mainly about running the UFC, but in my opinion, the WEC is on its way up to be the second biggest MMA promotion world wide and I think that with Lorenzo giving full time support to the MMA side of business, the WEC could benefit from this as well with bigger and better sponsors, more events across the world and bigger name fighters coming from the UFC. No matter what happens, I am going to have fun watching it all unfold.
So, after the TUF Finale this weekend, if a couple months go by and nothing is said about Grove or Tanner moving to the WEC, you can come here and personally make fun of me
