I think they will stay with their curren tset up. They will use the WEC to push the weights under 155 and as a feeder for the weight classes ove 155. If they stick to that I think it will be OK. It would be to hard to put together cards only showing 5 fights per card with that many divisions. To many quality fighters wouldnt get the attention they deserve.
