There is no steadfast rule of moving up from the WEC. In fact, the WEC has two divisions that the UFC does not even have (Bantam and featherweight). So there is absolutely no chance that those fighters will ever make it to the UFC unless they move up in weight class. Some fighters just seem destined to stay in the WEC. Like Doug Marshall, Tiki, Crunkleton, etc. Others no doubt will eventually be in the UFC.........Paulo Fhilo, Razor Rob, and probably Brian Stann. I think it's just one of those things where if the UFC thinks the fighter can draw a crowd or PPV buys then they are far mroe likely to be called up. I also would expect them to put a lot of weight on how exciting a fighter is.
