Since we are playing with dead things, I would say that its shifted to SF. Without some of the SF roster and the addition of wMMA, companies like WME wouldnt have been as quick to drop 4 billion on the purchase. Talent wise, at the time WEC would be the lead, but the best purchase they made was locking in SF to pretty much sew up the opposition at the time and make them basically the only game in town.
