I was REALLY looking foward to Jake Rosholt making his WEC debut. Luckily, there is still 4 weeks to find a replacement which shouldn't make it too difficult. I believe that Jake does need a couple more fights before being UFC ready. He has the potential to be a champion - that is FACT. He has natural born abilities combined with an unmatched work eithic, and he is very intelligent / fast learner. Since the WEC MW division is no more, he will have little choice but to jump right into the UFC since he's signed with Zuffa. What the UFC shoud really do with him is let him take the "Fitch route", but not against as difficult competition. By that, I mean he should fight on the prelims against fighters that he would be a small favorite against and let him build up his quality of competition. It would be pointless to immediately throw him in the cage with a Martin Kampmann or Thales Leites because it would be dumb to have him set up to lose his first fight on the national stage. Jake Rosholt is the real deal. Also, Johnny Hendricks and Shane Rollins have the abilities to make the UFC roster sooner rather than later. This SUCKS!
