From Speer:

“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 didn’t agree with it right away; it was depressing news. But now I know I lost to a great fighter, and he surprised me and everyone by how well he fought. 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.”

World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) is owned by the same parent company as the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Speer was to fight outside the promotion before returning to the WEC but those plans were scrapped when he was forced to stop training after suffering a spider bite on his calf while working on his family’s farm.

He will train with former UFC champion Matt Hughes at his H.I.T. Squad gym to prepare for the August bout.

Din Thomas, a veteran of The Ultimate Fighter 4: The Comeback, has put up back-to-back losses against Kenny Florian and Josh Neer, and will now look to fight elsewhere at 145lbs as planned. Thomas had recently expressed interest in fighting at featherweight in the WEC, but his wishes have not been granted, as he has reportedly been let go by Zuffa completely.

Tommy Speer gets the axe following his highlight reel knockout loss to Anthony Johnson at UFC Fight Night 13. Prior to that, Speer was the runner-up on The Ultimate Fighter 6, losing to now-lightweight, Mac Danzig, at the finale of the show.

Kuniyoshi Hironaka has only had one win since competing in the UFC, which was over Forrest Petz last year at UFC Fight Night 9. Hironaka’s first fight inside the octagon was a decision loss to Jon Fitch, and his last two performances both resulted in TKO’s losses, at the hands of Thiago Alves and most recently Jonathan Goulet.

Additional fighters confirmed to have been released from their UFC contracts include Travis Lutter, Jake O’Brien, Kalib Starnes, Joe Doerksen, David Heath, Charles McCarthy, and John Halverson as well as many recent “Ultimate Fighter” cast members.

The 12-bout event was broadcast on Spike TV as a special three-hour live broadcast with the debut episode of “The Ultimate Fighter 7″ premiering immediately following the conclusion of the event.
