So, the title is correct I did not sign the contract with WEC... All was good until the part about moving away from Memphis...and well I go to school here and I'm not wanting to transfer yet...But, it was a productive meeting non the less... I basically got told that from my previous fights it is provin that i've alot left to learn (wich i know) but that i fight with so much heart that anybody in MMA that is my weight is gonna have problems beating me... So, yeah... But i know how these things work.. I turned it down, and either tonight or tomorrow he is gonna call me back and try to set up another meeting with a better offer(but still won't be what i want)

Things happen for a reason

Yeah, I mean I basically told the guy that yeah i would love to be a pro fighter but the growing rate of the industry it would be "suicide" to not finish college and at least have a back up plan...

college is way more important, WEC dont pay enuf for u to make a living off of, u would need to have multiple sponsorships to have any kind of a decnet lifestyle.

That was one of the biggest reasons i said no.... I mean but I've known pretty much that if it aint UFC or Pride It will take alot(not just money) for me to sign.... Plus I love to fight but I'm not sure if i want to do it forever...

The UFC has a decent pay out but still not something u can do for the rest of ur life. u pretty much have to carry the career over into teaching or coaching. check out this site, great resource on the MMA economy. http://www.mmapayout.com/

Yeah, I've checked out that stuff... Hell I teach volintarily well i teach so i don't have to pay to use the facilities...... but like most things sposorships is what it is all about...

good choice. You won't be able to fight forever. sooner or later you'll have to use that back up plan. Hope all works out well for you.
