Tommy Speer Headed To WEC
Posted by Dustin James on 05.09.2008

Gets released by the UFC, and he heads home......

Ultimate Fighter season six runner-up Tommy Speer is headed back to the WEC. Speer was released last week by the UFC, however the Zuffa-owned WEC has decided to take back Speer with open arms. Below is a quote made by Speer on his decision to return to the WEC:

"They're pumped to have me back because they never wanted to lose me in the first place. We haven't talked about the money or length of contract yet, but I'll definitely be in the WEC. They're planning to get me on their next big event after their June event, probably in August…. I don't think it's too bad of a thing for me to be going to the WEC. There are great fighters there, too. I need to keep learning and working on my game, and the WEC is a great place to do that. I can't complain about what's happened, because have I put in as much time and effort as other people who have gotten to the UFC? No, I haven't. But I'm going to keep working on it as much as I can."

That's... mature.

Geez. Good job Tommy.

Good move by the UFC, it would have been a waste to just throw him away.
